Opera 10 will not re-position a position:fixed/absolute; element as top:value;
and bottom:value; on a viewport resize event without a page reload. Additionally it hangs on a
resize event after that. Opera 9 works but leaves the scrollbar position behind without a reload.
Reduce viewport height to reposition absolute/fixed element and engage overflow:auto; scrollbar.
Here is a simple solution that will Fix this Bug
