Jumpy flag dialog

Question

I have found a bug with the movement of the flagging dialog.

Works in any order. Move, select option, move, select another option or go back > position shifts. The initial dialog and follow-up dialogs are different divs. — Martijn Pieters, Commented Feb 27, 2013 at 23:58

Sorry, don't think this is a bug. Personally don't see anything wrong with that behaviour. — Shadow Wizard, Commented Feb 28, 2013 at 0:18
@ShaWiz well, would you want your browser window to move every time you click "back?" — Doorknob, Commented Feb 28, 2013 at 0:19
I couldn't reproduce it, whats your OS? Browsers type and version? — Jeremy Thompson, Commented Feb 28, 2013 at 4:41
@Door it also "jump" back to the original position if you drag it, close it, then click "flag" link again. As Martjin pointed out, the "close as duplicate" is different dialog. — Shadow Wizard, Commented Feb 28, 2013 at 7:35
@JeremyThompson: Reproduced it with Chrome 25, Safari 6, and Firefox 19, all on Mac OS X 10.7.5. — Martijn Pieters, Commented Feb 28, 2013 at 10:46
The "I´m flagging..."- and "Flagging"-Dialog are two diffrent dialogs and each has its own position. Move the first dialog before you execute your Step 4. — Jehof, Commented Feb 28, 2013 at 11:38

Really that flag reason is just a shortcut to closing, which is why you're seeing the dialogs "jump".

Starting with the next build, that transition will attempt to keep the dialogs in the same place.
