Yes, we all know about blinking, but this aparently hasn't been raised much before. Thanks to Gen for bringing this to our attention!

Just wanted to drop in to say we have a bug on file in dojo "Turn off all fx, animations"... Maybe you could drop in on that ticket to discuss the import of this issue. http://trac.dojotoolkit.org/ticket/4683 cheers, D Important post.

That will be addressed one of these days, but in the meantime it's not really doable. Kurt, Gecko currently can’t do what you suggest without painting artifacts.

It was a real shock to discover that Firefox 3 was unusable for me, and that links to reinstall firefox 2 had all disappeared. It's brilliant to discover that you are taking accessibility issues so seriously. I am in touch with a scientist who is writing a book on vision and these kinds of issues, so I will write and let her know about this blog, and about how helpful your community is. I think she will be really interested. Thanks a million, Jen Hi,

It disorienting to have what you were reading slide away from under your eyes. This moving-the-page method has bugged me for a long time. I notice it when I have ONE page open and then open a "second" tab. The appearance of the tab bar causes the current page's content to slide down. It's horrible! Why not keep the page's position in-place, and slide the tab bar / alert over the top of the page? Voilá!
