Scroll Anchoring
Posted: 2021-10-29, 14:48
Apparently a behavior (or misbehavior) called scroll anchoring appeared on Basilisk the past day or two. Basilisk's very smooth scrolling through web pages has been a real positive. I have experienced this regularly on other browsers and it is very annoying.
Simply stated, scroll anchoring, or not anchoring, occurs when scrolling down a page and suddenly the display jumps downward a screen or two. Then one has to scroll back up to continue reading where the jerk repositioning occurred.
I normally have Smooth Scrolling checked in my browser's Settings/Preferences, but this does not always seem to prevent "screen jump aheads." I have also browsed through About:Config, but beyond the broad and general Smooth Scrolling entry there are numerous other scrolling attributes.
