undesired scroll effects

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Does the issue occur in web mode, hosted mode, both or don't know?
in your web page demo.
What browser(s) do you use? Firefox, IE, Safari, other?
IE
What is the browser version (if you know) from Help->About?
8.0.7600.16385

What steps will reproduce the problem? Please attach sample code if you
can.
1.just open your demo web page: 
http://allen-sauer.com/com.allen_sauer.gwt.dnd.demo.DragDropDemo/DragDropDemo.ht
ml#AbsolutePositionExample
2.reduces the vertical size of your browser until gets vertical scroll.
3. make sure scroll is not on top.
4. click on any draggable widget

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expected just select the cliecked widget.
but draggable widget you clicked is moved vertically down allay.

Do you have a workaround?

Please provide any additional information below.

If you don't see this effect try to further reduce the vertical size. I always 
get this error if I reduced enough to only see half of the middle gray 
rectangle.
thanks

I have the same issue in IE.
I think I have a workaround though. If you create another scrollable panel so 
that the page body does not move, the behaviour is correct. The downside is 
that everything happens in the secondary panel and a double scrollbar is 
displayed

Confirmed that this is due GWT's implementation of scrollIntoView(), which, 
although better than the built-in scrollIntoView() browser method, is still 
defective is some ways.

Please vote for this GWT issue:
http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/issues/detail?id=5529

Also, please attach the simplest possible test case which reproduces the issue, 
ideally with a few lines of code to construct the UI, followed up a (delayed?) 
call to scrollIntoView() so that the effect is visible.

Also, I should mention this workaround to avoid the problematic call:

  dragController.setBehaviorScrollIntoView(false);

I tried to open the above link 
http://allen-sauer.com/com.allen_sauer.gwt.dnd.demo.DragDropDemo/DragDropDemo.ht
ml#AbsolutePositionExample in IE9 beta browser (version: 9.0.7930.16406 64-bit 
edition) under Windows 7 Professional, but I've got an exception:

Uncaught exception: com.google.gwt.core.client.JavaScriptException: 
(undefined): DOM Exception: INVALID_CHARACTER_ERR (5)

Print screen could be found in the attached PNG file. Should I for this 
issue/exception also open a bug report in GWT domain?

I'm seeing a different error in IE9, which appears to be this issue:

Specifying a standards mode DOCTYPE on your main HTML page may help with this 
one
