There are 4 or more different problems being discussed here, and it would be helpful to be precise about each of them, and keep them separate because they are technically distinct, despite being thematically linked. (Note: I'm not a dev, which both helps me simplify the explanation, but also means

These issues can be fixed. Have the banners load below the buttons we typically click on. Move the gadgets to the left of "read" rather than to the right of "view history". I have proposed this for TW as I mentioned here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Twinkle#Button_load_issues J O

Hi Mike, Unexpected page jumps are never fun. They tend to be known as a "reflow" or FOUC [1], and are common all over the web at different times. Unfortunately, while there may be multiple gadgets / features exhibiting this undesired behaviour, it is not a general problem or limitation. As such,
