Page jumping when focusing comment boxes on Facebook
-
@tokoloko Ah, that would at least explain why did you get the old layout of the page (no focusing on the posts) - it was not Facebook tests after all...

@inadream I decided to do a google search to try and find people having the same problem as I have been having on FB for the past couple of months now. I have been relentlessly trying to resolve this problem to no avail. I do not use Vivaldi Browser; however; do use Microsoft Edge, and Chrome and just recently decided to download Firefox per the suggestion of a FB friend because of the problem I am having... same as you are having. (I was considering downloading Vivaldi next ... but see a bunch of people are having this same problem on FB with Vivaldi when I looked around on FB) Does anyone know if this has to do with keystrokes or FB in general? As we all know, FB is constantly upgrading and changing things.
I type in the comments of FB and it jumps all over the page, it will not stay in the box that I am typing in. grrrr
I have tried to every suggestion on google in different forums to fix this problem and it only makes it worse and more prolonged!
I have google on this problem and we are not the only persons with this problem, it appears a lot of people are having the same problem. Whether they use their cell on Social Media websites (FaceBook) or they use their laptops, computers...
It is now April 7th... this started for me a few months ago. I have a large forum on FB and cannot have this continue for too much longer, as it holds me from getting things done! None of my browsers are working appropriately!

@charmainejensen It's hard to investigate, as it seems to occur only to some users. The most common factor (as mentioned in this thread) has been the use of webpage zoom. The system's DPI settings might be related as well. It could also be an extension. Or there is a bug on Facebook's side - it's hard to tell.
You can do a quick test and install the latest version of Vivaldi as standalone (which is easier to uninstall, if you don't want to keep it), and use it as it is, out-of-the-box (without changing any settings or installing add-ons). See if the issue occurs there too. Perhaps you'll like some of the features that it offers?

Re: Page jumping when focusing comment boxes on Facebook
Hi.... Hope this helps anyone and its similar to a reply on the early part of the topic
I'm using Chrome and have been searching for a solution for months. I noticed someone comment about zoom levels and thought "nah it cant be that simple" so I have just tried it
WOW
My screen is more or less always set to 75% zoom I took it up to 85 100 120 and all of them worked no page jumping with backspace or anything. I then dropped it back down to 75% and boom jumping all over the place. Took it down to 68% and it worked ( but too small) so the fix for me now is set zoom to 80%
Really hope that helps others
Chap

@Chap789 Hmmm... have this annoying problem, too, and my zoom was set to 110%, Reading your post, I set it to 100% and the problem seems -- for now -- to have gone away. But it always (months) as been a bit sporadic.

@pafflick I have the same problem in Vivaldi, have probably had it for a year or so. I only see this on FB feeds. If I even hit the "Like" button on posts, not just the comment box, the view will jump up 2-3 posts higher. It doesn't do this all the time, but I'd say a good majority of the time. I'm running Windows 10, keep everything up to date.

@Chap789 My screen view is kept at 100%. I have this problem. I'll try some other small changes in that setting.
