Start at http://my.yahoo.com. Click on the "Check Email" link to go to your Yahoo Mail account. Minimize Mozilla. Watch the Mozilla button on the task bar until you see that the Yahoo Mail login page has loaded. Click on the task bar button to restore Mozilla. You'll see that the Yahoo Mail login page appears scrolled down too far. It appears as if the page had got scrolled down so that part of the top of the page is off the top of the browser window. The Yahoo Mail Login page is a small page that easily fits in a single window and doesn't need to be scrolled. You'll also notice that this scrolled page is scrolled off the top of the screen, but no scroll bars are present.

Out of 10 tries I got this to happen once. You have to minimize it fast to get the window minimized before the email content starts coming over. I am guessing that the view is not taking into account that it is minimized before doing the scroll-to... Sending that way for further investigation. This looks like a pretty low priority, however...

This bug is marked "future" because it is not critical for RTM (Release To Manufacturing). If anyone believes it is critical, please explain why in this bug.
Target Milestone: M19 → Future
I *do* consider this bug as something that definately should be fixed before RTM. In my opinion, anything that causes a glaring error in the rendering of the web page should be fixed before RTM. (And having half of your page scrolled off the top of the window and not being able to get to it, is BAD)
Target Milestone: Future → M21
The scroll problem is caused by minizing the mozilla window during loading. There is already a bug covering the loading of pages while the app is minimized. So I am dup'ing this bug to it (bug 14641) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 14641 ***
