Hi All -

I'm using fluid with my google apps for domains accounts, for email.
It seems that recently, every time gmail does a refresh (the std. ajax
refresh it does every minute or so), it scrolls down to the end of the
page. This seems to happen only when I'm viewing the inbox - is this
happening to anyone else, and anyone have any ideas?

hey steve, 

there might be something in the current url which is telling the page to scroll to the bottom. i would try looking at the url:

1) cmd-opt-T to show the toolbar
2) make sure the url does not have some extraneous fragment (starts with '#') or argument (starts with '?')
3) if so, just press the 'Home' toolbar button. that should take you back home

i have seen gmail in particular add a fragment to the url that selects a particular mail message when the page loads. because fluid ssbs have 'session restore' on by default (look in General Preferences), this can end up being the url you load every time, and might cause this kind of behavior.

if that doesnt work this almost certainly will:

1) delete this file and folder:

~/Library/Preferences/com.fluidapp.FluidInsance.<your ssb name>
~/Library/Application Support/Fluid/SSB/<you ssb name>

2) recreate the SSB

I noticed this as well and I think I figured it out. Do you have the
extra stuff from labs like your documents and calendar in the
sidebar? When I added those it started doing that and once I removed
them it went back to normal. I think its bringing the page down to
those levels, etc.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the help - i gave it a try, but still no luck. It looks
like it's not a Fluid problem, but a gmail issue:

I don't read my gmail any other way, so I initially figured it was a
fluid issue. Hopefully they fix it soon.
