frustration

This is bugging me. I'm at a web page, any web page, and I am scrolling back to the top of the page with the up arrow key as I tend to do when browsing a page and once I get to the top of the page if I don't pay attention and hit the key one more times than is needed Chromium in all it's wisdom decides I must want to do something with the address so it places the focus in the address bar. ARGH!

Any way to stop this?

I'm running Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty and have installed the nightly build version of Chromium PPA.
