scrolling

Moving down through a page with my mouse, certain parts of the text, such as a paragraph will be picked up and dragged down till I stop scrolling and then it will disappear. I find this on the following site ---

Has anyone run into anything like this before and if so, is there a setting that I can go to in order to fix it?

Its not text — its an image.

Great reply, but how do we overcome it - or have it so it doesn't do that?

I was mistaken — its not actually an image, though that is a common cause of the problem you reported.

Disabling all drag and drop (set to zero) seems to work — but at what cost?

Thanks for the help Pesala. If it's not an image, what actually is it? And what do you mean "at what cost" - I've set it to zero and up to this point, there seems to be no problem with that site. That of course is subject to change I suppose, but right now everything seems to be ok with no conflicts in the program that I can see. Maybe you can point them out.

Settings to 0 doesn't do the trick - what does is, unchecking the Smooth Scrolling. But this does mean, that on this particular site, smooth scrolling does weird and wonderful things! This no doubt is a bug within Opera.

IE & Firefox does not do this.
