RE: Request for removal of animation

Shawn -

It's both when I arrive at the page with an URL that has an anchor as well as when I click around the page using the sidebar. If I don't use the sidebar then I would have to know what I was looking for and search for it.

Ah, is the problem only when you first open the page? Or when you click around the page?

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.
