Bug - highlight in wrong place

When submitting a post, it normally adds your reply to the page, and highlights it for 5 seconds. In this particular case, the highlight added several hundred pixels of padding to the bottom of the page, and highlighted in the wrong place. Best explained with a screenshot:

Also, if you'd prefer I place these bug reports somewhere else such as Phabricator or GitHub, let me know. Thanks.

I've seen this, too. What's your web browser? (I mostly see it in Firefox.) Also, do you mostly see it on pages with a collapsed section? There are several collapsed WikiProject tags at the top of that page. I've wondered whether the amount that it's offset is the same as the size of the collapsed section (that is, the size it would be if it weren't collapsed), but I haven't actually checked.

Interesting theory about the collapsed sections being the cause. First time I've seen this so not sure. I was going to guess that maybe replying at the bottom of the page had something to do with it. Windows 7, Chrome, 1080p.
