Special:Specialpage links jump to another column when clicking
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

since https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/205587/ was merged, now when I click on special page links on Special:Specialpage, the links now jump to the right column instead of taking me to the special page.

Reported upstream: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=480497

Yep, I can also reproduce this on Chrome :/ (not with other browsers though)

Hmm, chrome's implementation of columns seems to have some issues in general.. I reported this bug upstream. In case, we don't figure out a fix by Monday, we'll have to revert the patch.
