dijit.scrollIntoView() fails for certain nodes

[Joseph Scheuhammer]

Discovered while running robot Slider tests: calling dijit.scrollIntoView() on the slider's thumb does not always work for FF3 nor IE8RC1.

Note that sliders have both a domNode and a focusNode. The slider's thumb is its focusNode.

Find attached a test file, "ScrollIntoViewBugDemo.html" that shows the problem. It needs to be located in ".../dijit/tests/form/".

Steps to reproduce:

1. Load the demo file "ScrollIntoViewBugDemo.html".
2. Navigate to the buttons at the bottom of the page via the link "Jump to buttons".
3. Click the "Scroll Slider Thumb Into View" button:
   • the view will scroll, but only about half way up the document.
   • the slider thumb is not scrolled into view.
4. Navigate back to the buttons.
5. Click the "Scroll Slider Into View" button:
   • the view scrolls properly to the slider.
   • this scrolls the slider's domNode into view.
6. Navigate back to the buttons.
7. Click the "Focus on Thumb" button:
   • the view will scroll to the slider, and the thumb will have focus.

The focus "test" simply shows that the thumb can be scrolled into view by focussing on it.

Platforms tested: FF3.05/Mac, FF3.06beta/WinXp, MineField/WinXP, and IE8RC1/WinXP.

The problem lies somewhere within the addPseudoAttrs() closure inside dijit.scrollIntoView() (".../dijit/_base/scroll.js").

Marking for 1.3 since this sounds like a regression. (Not sure though.)
