Description Andrea Aime 2002-04-06 11:40:37 UTC

(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***)

Package:           khtml
Version:           KDE 3.0.0 
Severity:          normal
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
Compiler:          gcc 2.96
OS:                Linux
OS/Compiler notes: Mandrake 8.2

If I zoom an html page to read better 
its content I loose the current position
in the page and I have to scroll back
or forward to continue reading... that's
not nice. This happens also when resizing the
window. You will need a web page that is
long enough a Doxygen generated document
should be a good choice (I experiment the
problem while reading Thinking In Java
which is available also on the web).

I still think this is a major annoyance, and the behaviour 
is still there. Mozilla and IE keep the position in 
the document if you resize the window or zoom in/out.

Forget the attachment, was intended for #39048. Seems I need a break. :-)

Comment 4 James Richard Tyrer 2002-12-24 08:41:37 UTC

I have confirmed this. 
 
I don't know if it is possible to fix it.  But if possible, it would be a nice feature.

This "bug" is still present in KDE 3.2.2. It's very annoying when reading large texts.
The question is: what part of the page should keep its position? The top? The middle?

Comment 8 hoea 2004-04-27 23:14:42 UTC

i vote for: the "thing" under the cursor shouldn't change

Comment 9 Stephan Kulow 2004-05-25 08:58:05 UTC

Replaced aaime@libero.it with hoea@gmx.at due to bounces by reporter

Problem still exists in KDE 3.5...

Comment 13 Maciej Pilichowski 2006-10-02 10:29:47 UTC

Niels, top of course.

You read the front page, you click on some link which redirect you to some html_page#here so when you maintain the "middle" of the page position you will loose unread top.

Try it with any manual in html format.

Comment 16 Christoph Cullmann 2024-05-06 18:39:53 UTC

Dear user,

KHTML (and KJS) was a long time more or less unmaintained and got removed in KF6.

Please migrate to use a QWebEngine based HTML component.

We will do no further fixes or improvements to the KF5 branches of these components beside important security fixes.

For security issues, please see:

https://kde.org/info/security/

Sorry that we did not fix this issue during the life-time of KHTML.

Greetings
Christoph Cullmann
