Bug Description

This is a rather annoying bug, and it's rather difficult to explain. I guess it would be best shown through an example. Here's steps to reproduce this bug:
1) open up distrowatch.com
2) use ctrl-f and select different links, and middle click them.
Unusual behavior: Many times, when you middle click a link to open it in a new tab, the page will scroll up and the wrong link will be opened. This bug is not only for distrowatch, but many other pages.

I wish I could be more clear on why this is happening, but I'm not sure. Can anyone else confirm this?

I confirm this bug on dapper.

I think the search must have scrolled the page to show us the result.

epiphany now builds against gecko/xulrunner 1.9, so this should be fixed
