This is something I have long thought to be a significant problem and inconvenience. I have mentioned it to @Anna
at least four times, so I am sure it is logged, but until recently, I did not put the page scrolling issue I am about to describe together with the way the software takes you to an anchor. Now I am thinking that the issues might be due to the same cause. I see the issue on multiple computers and tablets, several Windows OSes and Mac OSes, and on several browsers—Safari and Firefox, so I am thinking that everyone is experiencing the behavior. When scrolling a wikiHow page by placing the cursor just above the bottom arrow within the scrollbar (or just below the top arrow within the scroll bar), a click turns what is supposed to be a full screen advance into a full screen advance PLUS two or three more lines (which go off the screen). Scrolling this way is really inefficient as each screen has to be repositioned, so this scrolling technique is really not possible on wikiHow pages. The larger issue is that, for someone who is not familiar with this quirk, using the above-described page navigation technique (which works on 99.9% of the websites) MIGHT result in missing critical information without even realizing it. A similar behavior results when you click a link that goes to an anchor within a wikiHow page: The positioning goes too low and a couple of lines are obscured (above what shows in the screen). An example is the TalkPage#post link. It seems to go two or three lines too low and the screen has to be repositioned in order to click into the message box. I have been lobbying to get this issue expedited for about a year now, since I feel that the clunky behavior has a lot of impact, not the least of which is mildly irritating scrollers of the wikiHow content. This behavior probably reduces many users level of happiness with wikiHow (even though the users may not be conscious of the reason for that little, nagging dissatisfaction). *edit to improve clarity and correctness (substance not changed)
