When I am reading a long article, paging down, it is annoying to reach the last page only to find that it is shorter than all the other pages and now my place is lost somewhere in the middle of the screen. I have to hunt for where I left off. I could solve this using the mouse to scroll, and sometimes I do, but I find that more burdensome than just hitting page down. This behavior has existed since the earliest days of the web. It seems to me the easiest way to fix it is for the browser to position the last line of the current page as the first line of the next, no matter what, and fill the rest of the window as needed with blank space. Since I spend most of my web time reading text, consistent text positioning would be a major usability enhancement for me. | When I am reading a long article, paging down, it is annoying to reach the last page only to find that it is shorter than all the other pages and now my place is lost somewhere in the middle of the screen.

You know what'd be a sweet Idea? | |||
<br># 13 of my list: Memory Markers of some sorts that you can "place" on the page so that when you go down or up the page, right click off the scrollbar and input a # or something, it would send you to the corresponding part of the page. Maybe a Context Menu Item that states something along the lines of "Place memory marker on this currently displayed position" with extra Context Items added to the list and set as Numbers so you can seamlessly scroll anywhere on the current page. I haven't fully gone into the details of its implementation but I'll work on it when I get the proper inspiration. | |||
<br><br>Thanks however for your proposal as I often wondered if anyone else had the same Idea ;). | |||
