This was caused by a recent update to the Web Accessibility Checker extension. I've just released version 1.4.47 with a fix

Answer 2

I've just had this and it is definitely Browser Link in my case. To disable this, you can add this setting to your web.config.

<add key="vs:EnableBrowserLink" value="false" />

As @Salman points out, this should live in the appSettings section:

<appSettings>
    <add key="vs:EnableBrowserLink" value="false" />
</appSettings>

Answer 3

I've experienced this problem too and it began for me yesterday. Same symptoms - happens locally but not if published.

A windows update was implemented yesterday - Update for Windows 7 for x64-based systems (KB2952664). I'm wondering if they are linked.

Disabling browser link works for me also

Browser behavior (issue):

Further Details:

Apparently the problem resides when they use Element.scrollIntoView() along this lines in browserLink.js:

u.getBackgroundColor = function(a) {
  var b = arguments.length > 1 && void 0 !== arguments[1] ? arguments[1] : [],
    e = arguments.length > 2 && void 0 !== arguments[2] && arguments[2];
  e !== !0 && a.scrollIntoView();
  var f = [],
    g = u.getBackgroundStack(a);
  return (g || []).some(function(e) {
      var g = window.getComputedStyle(e),
        h = d(e, g);
      return a !== e && !v.visuallyContains(a, e) && 0 !== h.alpha || c(e, g) ? (f = null,
        b.push(e), !0) : 0 !== h.alpha && (b.push(e),
        f.push(h),
        1 === h.alpha)
    }),
    null !== f && null !== g ? (f.push(new u.Color(255, 255, 255, 1)),
      f.reduce(u.flattenColors)) : null
}
