Hi,

There are 2 ways of getting from the Gene Summary page to the genomebroswer for the gene you are viewing.

1) Click on the embedded image - fully functional and works great :)

2) Click on the Genomic Position: co-ordinates located just above embedded image.

See:

And this screen shot:

Option 2 appears to mess up the gbrowse co-ordinate system and this causes unusual zoom functionality whereby the user ends up at the wrong genomic location.

See this screen shot for the co-ordinate abnormality and the highlighted features that give incorrect behaviour.

Hope I have explained the issue appropriately
