-    //
-    // 2) After loadFinished() emitting, page JS code finishes it's work and changes
-    //    font settings (size). This leads to page contents "moving" inside view widget
-    //    and as a result we have wrong position.
-    //
-    // Such behavior occurs for example with QtHelp pages.
-    //
-    // To fix the problem, first, we disable view painter updates during load to avoid content
-    // "flickering" and also to hide font size "jumping". Secondly, we reset position inside page
-    // after loading with using standard QWebFrame method scrollToAnchor().
