Chromium-browser: with an opened chat window in gmail, scrolling to the bottom of the page strangely slides the whole view up, adding a blank field to the bottom

Binary package hint: chromium-browser

When I have an opened chat window in gmail, scrolling to the bottom of the page will strangely scroll further, sliding the whole view upwards, which will get back to the normal view only if I scroll to the very top. It's not the page, that slides, but the whole view, together with the scroll-bar. This is shown on the screenshot.

It happens in Windows 7 too.

Well, upgrading to daily build (6.0.411.0 (47760) Ubuntu) makes it even worse, this happens even without an open chat window. It happens only at startup, when u load gmail in a new tab, it gets back to the original problem. Very strange...

There's no need to assign bugs to the Chromium Team. They are already subscribed to the bugs.

Still present in the version 6.0.432.0 (49488) Ubuntu. But now it happens even without an open chat window, i.e. always.

Please, consider this bug serious, one would assume that Google browser would work at 100% with Google mail. On the contrary, this is the only page (I've found so far) with which the Chromium daily version doesn't work OK.

Thanks...

Ok, so today I realized that this issue is only present when the "smoothscroll" extension is enabled. Is it possible to file bugs against extensions themselves?

[zsolt.ruszinyák (zsolt-ruszinyak)]

No, I was wrong, it's a Chromium bug, any smoothscrolling extension I install, this will happen.

and the same happens on Google Docs

Closing due to the last update to this bug being 6 years old. Please file a new bug if this still applies to recent releases of chromium-browser.
