Recently Engadget updated their entire website to a new scheme.

Reproduction of this visual effect can be simply performed by scrolling down to the middle of the page. Everything looks fine when you visit the site but when you scroll down, two massive black bars appear. This does not occur in any other browser. I have attached an image for you to see what I am referring to. http://www.engadget.com/

Please let me know if this can be fixed. This site drives a ton of traffic and I for one do not want to use an alternative browser to view this one site.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

I saw the Engadget toolbar, but not the huge bar you pointed to.
