I have not figured out how to check the behaviour. But if the problem 
appears in Konqueror itself, please file a bug report about it. 

I think it should be easy to fix, probably there is an "ensureVisible()" 
call missing somewhere. I'm going home now; maybe I'll look at that 
tomorrow or during the weekend.
