Oh, I'm not the only one. This seems to happen at some sites more than
others.. it seems to happen a lot more frequently at MSDN and also at
kdenews.unixcode.org. At first I thought it was a problem with the site but
then it also happened at more sites (some camera reviews on dpreview.com for
example).

Sorry, a testcase would be nicer, but at least I can reproduce with these
sites (although it might take a couple of posts).
