Description Maciej Pilichowski 2007-05-01 09:44:34 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.6)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

There is an old report https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32215 which seems to be dead by now.

If you try to load a length (vertically) page with text and images on a slow connection and read while the page is loading you will find it is impossible, since Konqueror "animate" the page, i.e. it moves the contents. It is no so uncommon there are pages which take time to load, so the user have to wait long to be able to read the text.

It would be a lot more convenient for the user, if Konqueror tracked the current position and adjusted it while loading, this way reading while loading would be possible.

I can still reproduce this problem on trunk r870274.

I constructed a testcase so everyone can quickly check this "problem": http://test.confuego.org/144907.php

The link opens a pretty big websites with several big (invisible, embedded) images. The images are delayed in loading so you can scroll to one of the big markers and watch the page "scroll" for each of the images being loaded.

To be honest: None of the other browsers I checked (IE7, FF3) does this, so I'm not sure if this shouldn't be considered a wish instead.

testcase

The testcase in case my site goes down.

Comment 3 Maciej Pilichowski 2008-10-12 16:48:18 UTC

It would be a wish, but it was fixed once (according to other report), and still does not work. So, if something does not work despite it was designed to work --> a bug.

Comment 4 Michael Leupold 2008-10-12 20:34:42 UTC

I talked to the developers and the current behaviour is the expected one. Making this a wish for now.
