I generally read by hitting the tab bar to advance to the next unread item, and continued tabbing will scroll thru long stories. However, I've noticed that doing so will cause me to miss a line with each top. The first not-shown line at the bottom, will be not-shown at the top.

Widescreen view, numerous skins.

Happens to me too, but not always. I'm not sure what's causing this, maybe when hitting the spacebar too fast when flipping through items. But then again, sometimes it doesn't cause a problem at all.

In my situation, when it happens, most of the time 4 unread articles are skipped at once.

I've never had it skipped stories, but I miss lines of text in long articles consistently.

@geodude: this happens with styles that have fixed elements. It's a bug in WebKit's scrolling.

The workaround is to use a style without fixed elements.

Thanks for the reply.

Now, would you explain "fixed elements"? :-)

What's an example style without them (whatever they are)?

An example style with fixed elements is Daring Gradient Bar. Notice how the date, source, and title remain fixed in place at the top when you scroll.

A style without fixed elements is the Default style. When you scroll, the entire pane scrolls, nothing is fixed in place.
