Dear Epiphany-maintainers,

this one is a little hard to describe but I hope you get the idea.

When I search for a particular string on a huge page, I hit Ctrl-F and
type the string. When there a many occurences of the search string, I
hit Ctrl-G to jump to the next one. Now, after I jumped to the one of
the latter occurence of the search string by hitting Ctrl-G several
times, I would like to right-click a link on the current page (because
maybe the search string is part of a link). As soon as I hit one of the
mouse buttons, the page jumps to another position and my mouse click
misses it's target.

Please try the following:
1) Visit http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=linux-2.6
2) Hit Ctrl-F and type 'fixed'.
   You'll jump to the first occurence of the word 'fixed' on that page.
3) Hit Ctrl-G several times.
4) Now try to right-click on any of the bug reports.

The problem is that it's not reproducable every time you try it. It
feels like there is some 'arbitrariness' involved, so you'll maybe have
to try the above steps several times to actually encounter the behaviour
that I tried to describe.

Thanks for your patience.

Cheers,
Fabian
