Next selection shortcut key J jumps from first post to bottom of page

When I use the keyboard shortcuts K and J to move the selection in the topic below, the J key jumps from the first reply to the suggested topic list at the bottom of the page.

I used J to go to the end of the topic then to the end of the suggested topic list. I then used K to go back up to the top of the topic. Once I had done that J no longer moves from the first post to the next post, it now moves to the first suggested topic on the list at the end of the topic. If I close the topic window and return to it, I have to follow the same steps to reproduce the problem. It is consistent in the topic I’ve linked to using both Chrome and Firefox (both 64-bit versions).

I’m not sure why this rather esoteric problem occurs. It didn’t reproduce in a couple of other topics I looked at including another how to. I do wonder if it is something to do with more J keypresses than were needed to get to the start or end of the items.

Ahh, yup. For easier repo steps

  1. Navigate to Long Topic
  2. Scroll to end to see Suggested Topics
  3. Use k to go back to first post
  4. Once at first post, press k again
  5. Press j, you jump to suggested topics.
