Really jumpy scrolling?

[cosmichobo]

G'day,

More and more on this site I am experiencing issues with scrolling through a page. The front news page was traditionally the worst for this, where certainly I would never even try to scroll until the page is fully loaded, because I know it's just not worth trying until then (might move, might not, might jump a mile, or just crawl - end result - frustration).

I have however also now noticed this phenomena in the forums pages too.

Java/Flash? Ads?

Any resolution for this problem?

cheers

What's it like in safari?

It works well for me on Firefox 43 and 10.11 on a Retina MacBook. Video: http://cl.ly/2W0P1A1c3O3N

I don't have a 10.9 machine to test on.

1. Do you have any plugins? Can you disable them all and test?
2. Can you try another browser?
3. Can you upload a video?

thanks

I don't know - I don't use Safari...
It performs admirably.....

I dont recall adding much to Firefox, but I'll take a look n report back.

The jumpiness i see is when writing a comment that fills the default window: trying to double click and drag through text jumps the cursor to the bottom of the window.

Mac Pro Mid 2010
OS 10.95
Safari 9.0.3

That's a separate Safari issue. Hopefully Apple will fix that.
