BBC sites auto-refresh changing page focus
On BBC pages that automatically update, when it does refresh, the page focus reverts to the top of the page.This makes it a little difficult to read

This happens in 10.51 and the latest snapshot, but not on 10.10.
Just tried that page - problem doesn't happen on mine. Got latest Opera (10.51) with latest browser.js (16th April).

Um, I believe that what it's supposed to do. All the latest updates appear at the top of the page, the oldest at the bottom. If you're reading the page when it updates, the top of the page is updated.
Opera 12.16 build 1860 - JRE 1.7.0.45 - Windows 7 64 bit - 2.67 GHz Intel i5 - 6GB RAM - Comodo - avast!
Peejay, yes I agree with you that old news is shuffled down the page as per normal, but the BBC website has a live LATEST news ticker at the top of the page which is constantly updated, but the rest of the page is updated as & when something happens. Previous versions of Opera never auto-jumped to the top of the page like this after 10-15 seconds of no use...
And to confirm that it is actually Opera causing this problem, I powered up the Safari browser on my mac, scrolled down to the bottom of the page & and again left it for a minute and it didn't auto-jump back.
