Details
If you set the cursor within a page by clicking normal text, then scroll away
(using the scroll bar) such that the cursor is no longer in view, clicking a
hyperlink causes the page to scroll back so that the cursor is in view. The link
is not traversed, although it does change to the "visited" color.
This only happens if the cursor isn't in view. Links on the same "screen" as the
cursor work fine.
To reproduce:
1. Visit any page longer than one screen
2. Click once within some normal text to set the cursor
3. Scroll down the page using the scroll bar so the cursor isn't in view
4. Click on a link -- you should jump back so the cursor is visible
Tested using viewer and apprunner from M3 build. Same behaviour with both.
Red Hat Linux 5.1 (2.0.36 kernel) on Pentium 166 with 64 MB RAM and Diamond
Stealth 3D 2000 (ViRGE chipset, 2 MB). Window Maker 0.51.2 and XFree86 3.3.3.1

Did a quick test with Linux binary dated 1999-04-30-08. Seems to be fixed.
