When I am in a thread with a lot of skins or accents (using the skin= rather than item= code), the page will automatically scroll down a few clicks very quickly and pretty frequently. It's a huge hassle to scroll back up to check out other accents.
I'm talking about threads like
this with a wall of accents/skins. Single accents linked in threads do not seem to cause issues. When first entering the thread, it only scrolls me down a click or two every time I scroll up. After clicking on a skin/accent, it scrolls down unevenly and quickly, and is sporadic. It especially happens after closing the preview.
It is a major headache. I have no idea what could be causing this, but I am fairly certain it's not from my end. I'm using the latest version of Chrome and Windows 7. This is the only place where this scroll issue happens; my mouse is perfectly fine and everywhere else on the site is perfectly fine, including the AH. It is just forum threads with skins and accents.

I can confirm it also happens to me too, but I do know what's doing it: it's the tooltip you get when you hover over item or skin item icons. The screen scrolls down to include the whole tooltip on the screen, so having a bunch in a row can make you accidentally hover over the one below it, moving you down even further.
I feel as though scrolling to include the tooltip might have been intended as a feature? But it's terribly annoying.

happens to me too, what browser are you using Dunk? i posted a similar topic about this a while ago and someone said it only happened in chrome. for me it will happen on
any page with bbcoded items... marketplace, baldwin, encyclopedia, forums, user pages, etc. i kind of doubt it's a feature, if it is they really screwed it up lol. i have to be careful where i place my mouse or i end up losing my place in a forum post etc

Chrome, actually. And I did a bit of looking and it looks as though tooltips are meant to just align the bottom to the bottom of the page if you hover over something that's low on the page. So the scrolling down thing is probably not intended.

This has started to happen to me too. Was a fix ever found?

I don't know if a fix was ever found for this, but its still happening two years later. to me at least.
If I'm in a thread, for example: the Starfall Celebration post on the homepage this week, and I hover over the skins to see the preview of how they look, after a couple times my window will just automatically scroll to the bottom of the page. After this starts to happen I cant even hover over a skin without getting sent to the bottom of the page.
I have also noticed this happening any area where items are coded for previews. In Baldwin's Bubbling Brew when I am choosing items to transmute, screen scrolls down. In the Crossroads when I am picking items to include in a trade, screen scrolls down. In Private Messages when I am picking items to send out, screen scrolls down.
Like the OP said, this doesn't happen anywhere else. Not in the dragon lair, AH, nesting grounds, Hoard, Encylopedia, the Coli. It's really becoming a drag and affecting my playing because it's such a hassle to do trades and messages and to even preview the skins for holidays!
Refreshing the page doesn't work. It seems the only solution is to close my window and leave the website alone for a few hours. I use the most updated version of windows and I have Microsoft Edge. I'm not sure if I need to enable something for FR or if I'm missing something, but I wanted to bring this thread bag because I am really struggling with this problem :/ I would appreciate any help that can be given!
