Re: Request for removal of animation

Dear Charles,

Thank you for your e-mail. I am sending this to the wai-eo-editors@w3.org mailing list and we will log an issue as needed. I hope that we can come up with a good solution to meet multiple needs soon.

In the meantime, note that you can eliminate most (if not all) of the automated smooth scrolling by:
* Collapsing the "Sidebar" with the scrolling Contents. Click the [<Hide] button in the sidebar.
* Expanding all sections. Click the [+ Expand all sections] button in the pale yellow bar that goes across the page.

Perhaps this is sufficient to address your needs?

Regards,
~Shawn

This effect is persistent for some time after encountering such animation if I don’t catch it and close my eyes, perhaps 15 to 30 minutes.
