* modify getfile(), etc., to ensure that following a link consisting of a
fragment will move the cursor to the link containing the target rather than
simply ensuring that it is visible (Debian #171312) -TD
Possibly as a result of this, I see a new behavior. Sometimes when exiting
from a child page to its parent, the cursor is left, not at the link by
which the child was entered, but at the top link of the screen. Example:
On:
Linkname: Astronomy Picture of the Day Archive
URL: http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/archivepix.html
Page down a couple screens; move cursor to middle of screen; enter the page;
exit the page. I now find the cursor at the top of the screen rather than
the middle. I hope this behavior is unintended.
