I am having a similar issue, but it's not the page that jumps, but the
dialog box itself. I have a link at the bottom of the dialog. The
content of the dialog is large enough that scrolling is required.
Every time the dialog box opens, the box scrolls down to the bottom
and selects the link. I added a dummy link at the top, but (in
Firefox) you can see that there is an empty link selected. Anyway to
open the dialog box and not have the link selected?
