LYNX-DEV: REpost of bug: can YOU duplicate it?

[David Combs]

This is a re-"post" of this bug -- just in case it
somehow got lost before, or maybe required a
picture of the screen, which I now provide.

The version I am using is dated (on netcom)
as 2300 yesterday (wednesday, 12feb97), -version "2.7".

Someone please see if the behavior can be not necessairly
fixed but at least DUPLICATED.  Thanks!

Here is cut-n-paste of the screen (I searched for
 "Galaxy", then did a "j" to go down one, and
  it went to the NEXT PAGE, providing me NO CHANCE
  to get to the prior bot-of-page item):
