      Issue Summary

      This is reproducible on Data Center: (yes) 

      Given a page with an anchor. Adding hyperlinks to these anchors do not consistently redirect to the correct anchor location.  

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Create a page with an anchor 
      2. Add a hyperlink to the said anchor. To do this there are two scenarios:
        1. The hyperlink is added as a weblink. i.e. with full URL path. 
        2. The hyperlink is added as an advanced link i.e. only adding the anchor name (e.g #anchor)
      3. Save the page, and click on the hyperlinks.

      Sample storage format provided in this bug ticket. 

      Expected Results

      In both cases, uses clicking on the hyper link should be redirected to the exact location.

      Actual Results

      Hyperlinks added as weblinks do not redirect to the exact location. The page scrolls few pixels from the correct location of the anchor. 

      No issues with hyperlinks that were added in advanced though. 

      Workaround

      Currently there is no known workaround for this behavior. A workaround will be added here when available
