Just noting in passing that ascribing this to the gadgets that make up a personal profile...isn't always what is the problem. I don't think standard non-logged-in profile has any of these finicky bits, yet the same thing happens to users who are not logged in. All the time - half the time I find out about an overarching banner, it's from someone who knows I "do" Wikipedia, and they're complaining to me. I have to disabuse them of the idea that any editor is likely to be able to change this...

These issues can be fixed. Have the banners load below the buttons we typically click on. Move the gadgets to the left of "read" rather than to the right of "view history". I have proposed this for TW as I mentioned here

This is possibly the most annoying feature of the Wikimedia projects at
the moment. You access a page. Then you start reading or editing it. And then suddenly the page jumps when a fundraising banner / central notice / gadget / beta feature loads. So you have to start reading the page again, or you have to find where you were editing again, or you have to undo the change you just made since you made it in the wrong part of the page.
Or you click "edit" and it hits the banner that suddenly popped up under your click. AAAAAAAAAAAA
