in "Yahoo Messenger 3.0b1"
scroll bar snaps back to top of conversation every time a message is sent.
makes it difficult to conduct a conversation. Yahoo Messenger uses webkit to render conversation windows.

This is in Radar as <rdar://problem/4861263>, which indicates the problem is due to a JavaScript bug in Yahoo's chat view implementation which was exposed by a change in WebCore behaviour. I am not sure that it is something that can be fixed in WebKit.

A workaround was made on forums to simply fix the bug in the java file inside app so it works right with webkit 522+
You can fix the scrolling bug in Yahoo Messenger 3.0 beta 1 by editing Yahoo! Messenger.app/Contents/Resources/Default.ymStyle/main.js.
Change the line that says:
body.scrollTop = body.scrollHeight - document.clientHeight;
to:
body.scrollTop = body.scrollHeight;

THe bug is fixed in Yahoo! Messenger 3.0b2 for Mac. It was a bug in their javascript that just didn't show itself until Safari 3.0.x's release. This isn't webkit's bug to fix.
