Description
When I press [[ or ]], the page usually scrolls down a bit, even if the "Previous" or "Next" text was already in the viewport.
To reproduce: go to http://abstrusegoose.com/570, increase zoom to around 150% (large enough so that the page doesn't fit in a single frame, and the scrollbar appears), and then hit [[ or ]].
What might be causing this? How could I fix this?

Research direction
Reproduce the issue at abstrusegoose.com/570 with zoom around 150%, then press [[ and ]]. Trace the next/previous shortcut handling and its interaction with page scrolling. Done means the shortcut changes pages without scrolling when the Previous or Next link is already visible.
