When going to a # link in the same page, Firefox 4 seems to jump to the wrong spot, and I have to scroll to find the actual anchor, usually one screen down.

Visiting the Apple developer site, pages have a task list at the top of a very long page. When I click on a task which is linked to an anchor on the same page, the screen briefly flashes up the intended topic, then redraws content about a screen above what I wanted, so I have to scroll down to the topic I wanted to read.

Is there any expanded content above that anchor that is being collapsed by going to another anchor?

Are there any JavaScripts running on that page that can cause it?

It happens when I open the topic in a new tab. There's a sidebar that's not drawn when the initial flashup happens. Then the sidebar draws and the content gets pushed down so the topic I wanted is now below the visible screen. When I jump to the anchor in the original tab, the sidebar is already there, and it goes to the right topic.
