• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: MOVED
• Component: New Bugs

[Yvan BARTHELEMY]

Mac: G4 QS/933
Mac OS X: 10.5.8
Safari: Version 4.0.3 (5531.9, r48276)

Steps to reproduce:
 1. Go to the URL http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/Documents/Tasks/SubclassController.html
 2. In the content, click on the link 'sharedDocumentController'
 3. Scroll up and hover any link from the 'Task' section

Expected result:
The link is hovered and the page position in not changed.

Actual Result:
The page scrolls to location that the page had when loaded from the link

Other browsers:
FF3: OK
Safari 4: FAIL
Safari 4 (nightly): FAIL

Note: I only noticed this bug on the new ADC. It occurs when navigating from a link with anchor to any Reference document.

There is no link titled "sharedDocumentController" on the page that mention.  Did you perhaps mean http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/documentation/Cocoa/Reference/ApplicationKit/Classes/NSDocumentController_Class/Reference/Reference.html?  If I follow your steps on that page, I cannot reproduce the problem.

In fact there is such a link in this page:

The content mentions:
The NSDocumentController class keeps track of the first instance of NSDocumentController (or a custom subclass) that is created and returns that instance from its __sharedDocumentController__ class method. To get your application to use your custom subclass of NSDocumentController, you...

In 'instance from its __sharedDocumentController__ class method'

The word 'sharedDocumentController' is the link.

The problem occurs when Reference.html is loaded from a link referencing an anchor.

Thanks for your interest.

My apologies.  It's a link that doesn't look anything like a link!  I can reproduce this now.

The fix for this issue was needed outside the WebKit project, therefore this is being resolved as 'Moved'.

This should now be fixed in shipping software.
