| Aug 11, 2011 at 10:23 | comment | added | Gilles 'SO- stop being evil' | There is movement on typing, but typing is passive on SE, unlike Google with ultramodern browsers (not FF 3.5 or IE7). There is also movement on onfocusing, which is rude. | |
| Aug 11, 2011 at 9:38 | comment | added | Jeff Atwood | that's how ours works too, Gilles; there is no movement on mere focus. Additionally I get the same behavior on google.com in Firefox 5 and IE9, so I really have no idea what you're talking about. | |
