Description alan 2004-08-19 09:23:45 UTC
Version:           3.3 (using KDE 3.3.0,  (3.1))
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.4 (Debian 1:3.3.4-7)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.7-1-k7

When calling up a URL with a #section at the end, it often seems to be the case (I think possibly when going to a new page rather than within the current) that the first attempt just navigates to the top of the page rather than to the correct section.  If I hit the "back" button and try to link again it normally works.

I have noticed this particularly with the apache2 manual, where all the directives are organised by module with # sections for each directive.

For example, the following URL

http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/core.html#virtualhost

Will often navigate to the top of this page rather than to the virtualhost directive at the above section, when called from a page which is not the same URL

I have suspected that this could be a timing thing - related to whether the page was fully loaded at the time the navigation attempt was displayed - but I haven't found a way of proving or disproving this theory.
