Bloglines smooth scrolling

Is it just me, or is everyone getting a “smooth scrolling” effect in Bloglines now when they use the hotkeys to jump between articles? I can’t find an option to turn it off, but boy do I dislike it. I may have to find another reader if I can’t get rid of this awful new “feature”.

[Update] It’s buggy too. I’ve noticed that on some feeds it can occasionally take up to 3 presses of the ‘j’ hotkey before it jumps to the next item. sigh

[Update 2] Er… wow. I just replied to an email I received from Ben Lowery, who works on Bloglines and actually wrote the smooth-scrolling feature I’m complaining about in this post. He asked me for details regarding the bug I noted, and mentioned that they are planning to add an option to turn off the smooth scrolling function. I’m pretty blown away – Bloglines is huge, and to think that they are paying close enough attention to touch base with me when I complain is pretty neat. Hopefully I was able to help him!

[Update 3] Looks like the example feed I gave Ben helped him find the bug, and the fix is working its way through their QA department. How cool; how many people can say they helped improve Bloglines?
