Sherlock, I have noticed this happening only when I use (the few times I do...) IE 5+ ... and it used to happen a lot when I voted to me too. It even seemed to happen after I would travel to about 4 different nodes, for some reason.

I am not sure what causes this, but my guess is it has to do with the browser-side, rather than pm.org ... because when I use Opera, it never happens, so that would lead me to the obvious conclusion that IE is to blame for this phenomenon.

Hope this info helps, because Opera seems to fix this problem, (but posting with code tags isn't good in Opera *yet*, so I would use something different, perhaps Mozilla?)
