Okay, so it sounds like a recent update to webkit contains the problem.
(I hardly know what that means butso) I've added webkit to the affected
packages. Hello webkit folk! Help?
Chris Down: I spent a lot of time moving from Chrome to Chromium to
avoid the bug, only to be chased by it a couple of months later. You may
have the same experience with Firefox. I wish I had just downgraded
Chrome, initially.
** Also affects: webkit (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
** Description changed:
I switched to chromium-browser from Google Chrome when, 1-2 months ago,
Chrome began to misbehave on all pages. It spontaneously jumped to the
top of the page when I continue scrolling downwards (using a touchpad).
As of a July 1 update to
chromium-browser:amd64 (50.0.2661.102-0ubuntu0.16.04.1.1237,
51.0.2704.79-0ubuntu0.16.04.1.1242)
- chromium-browser now has the same bug!
+ chromium-browser now has the same bug! Chris Down, below, says the bug
+ is affected most webkit-based apps.
+
+ He and I are both on higher-end Lenovo thinkpads (T450s, T460s), (and I
+ believe this also affects T410s -- to confirm)).
To reproduce this, I scroll half-way down a page (using a touchpad?) and
then click on something (e.g. blank space, which has no effect, or ctrl-
click on a link to open it in a new tab) with a mouse button. Next, as
soon as I touch the touchpad to continue scrolling, the page jumps to
the top.
Makes browsing near impossible. Very frustrating to have this bug arrive
at this browser after I already left Chrome (whose latest version on
Ubuntu also still has this bug) to avoid it.
