Have also had it especially on my tree. Just seems to move around from time to time. Have basically ignored it, as not affecting anything, but annoying just the same.!!
There is another thread i have added to re problems, which may be caused by recent update, of which i knew nothing. :-D

As Chris says, its happening right now.!!!

mine too, I don't like it as it takes me longer to focus my eyes again....I really do wish that sites would not take it into their own hands to decide what I want to do.

I don't think that it's your pc as it happens to me too-particularly towards the bottom of the page.I press the LHS of the mouse, and stop scrolling,but it just keeps going.it seems to have a mind of it's own.Very annoying.It mainly seems to happen on GR.

Is this just after you've posted something Ann?

If so, at the top of the screen on a green back ground is some sort of GR announcement. I noticed it a number of months ago, but have since forgotten what it says. After a few seconds during which you should have been able to read it, it disappears and the thread text slides up - hence the screen appearing to roll.

If it's not that, then can't help. Sorry

on the way out or a fault with GR or something else.

Does anyone else get the screen scrolling up when in GR?

I have windows 7 and my browser is Firefox. I haven't noticed it happening in any other sites or programmes.
