Dojo button widgets losing onClick when below the page fold

[Laura_]

If the user clicks on a form widget (e.g. Button widget) that's below the page fold, not only will the widget's onClick not fire for the first click, but the browser will 'jump' to the very top of the page and lose where the user was. The user has to then scroll back down to the button and click it again for it to work.

To see an example, load the test page in Firefox: ​http://download.dojotoolkit.org/release-1.3.1/dojo-release-1.3.1/dijit/tests/form/test_Button.html Then shrink the browser vertically a bit (so the page doesn't neatly fit on the screen), and scroll down until one of the button widgets on the bottom of the page is visible. Note that clicking on the button widget will cause the browser to 'jump' back to the top of the page.

You have to scroll back down to the button widget and click it again to have it actually fire.

The problem does not happen if you didn't have to scroll down to reach the button widget.

A quick and dirty workaround is to set scrollOnFocus to false on your buttons. The test_Button.html page works for me, I'll attach another test page.

Hmm, I've tried on both FF/win and FF/mac (3.0.10) and I can't reproduce this. What version/platform is your firefox? You are just using the mouse to click, right?

I tested on Linux/FF3.1b2 and WinXp?/FF2 and I didn't see any auto-scrolling with either test_Button.html nor with scrollOnFocus.html. If it's still a problem, please reopen with more specific environmental details.
