The "Preview Story" window keeps jumping to the top as I scroll down and try and read the story. I need to read through my stories in "preview" to make sure the italics are correct and do a final typo check, but it's frustrating and almost impossible to do when the preview jumps back to the top of the page every 15 seconds or so. I'm on a Mac. I've tried two browsers, Firefox and Safari, so it doesn't appear to be that. I've been submitting a story every week for months and all has been well until a few days ago. I tried the old control panel, but it won't let me submit there because I have a draft in the new control panel, and there's no way to delete it. Very frustrating.

Thank you for the message and sorry about the problem.

I just wrote up a reply saying that I was not able to reproduce the problem and then the Preview page jumped on my test iPhone while I was getting ready to post. :D

This is a confirmed bug, I will try to track down the cause.

Thank you very much for reporting it and for posting details about your browser, etc. That made it easier to reproduce.
 
Any progress, Manu? I'm still getting the same problem at this end, and I just tried my iPad and it's jumping to the top on that platform as well.

Sorry for the delay. We just rolled out an update to try to resolve this issue in all browsers. Could you re-check it and see if you're still having the problem?

Thank you for all of your help. :D
