Okay, here's a weird one.
Someone was perusing one of my Web sites and said, to paraphrase:
"If I click in the vertical scroll bar below the handle (grippy) the
page scrolls down more than one full screen."
That is, the vast majority of pages (I've checked many) will scroll so
that the bottom of the first page is now at the top. The pages on my
site scroll up past that, so that the content of the initial screen is
above the top of the page. Meaning that the user will be missing, not
see, some content.
I cannot give a definitive example since it depends to some extent upon
browser window size. But, try it at, for instance:
http://edmullen.net/mozilla/moz_combine.php
I only give this page as an example because it requires several
scroll-downs to see the entire page.
Then try any Amazon.com page. I haven't found one where it happens.
Oddly, having checked it in:
IE 11
Opera 18
Chrome 32
Safari (Windows) 5
Pale Moon 24 Moz-based
SeaMonkey 2 Moz-based
Firefox 26 Moz-based
only the Moz-based browsers exhibit the problem.
I'm posting here first but it may be an HTML or CSS issue. Which I
would then pursue in an appropriate Usenet group.
I have tested this on a varity of sites online and most do not exhibit
this but several do.
Any thoughts welcome.
One additional thing. John Gilliver, who mentioned this to me
origianlly, noted that it only happens when clicking in the scroll bar
space. It does NOT happen if using the PAGE DOWN key (in Windows). I
confirmed that.
Interesting. Yes, I've seen this behaviour before. It appears to me that
clicking inside the scroll bar track bases the page-down behaviour on
the overall size of the window rather than just the scrolling frame of
the site. Pressing the space bar to page-down bases the behaviour on the
frame. I'd call this a bug.
The scroll slider moves to where I click. I'm not seeing any problem.

To reproduce the issue, OS X must be configured to "Jump to the next
page", not "Jump to the spot that's clicked".
