mmm... yeah, also the wrapper goes almost 100% rather "quickly", and at that point the go top/bottom should be positioned again on the side of the body... meh.
The two buttons are more for desktop users or mobile users?

Well, both AFAIK. I do know that when I was making a responsive interface for CEMB I was specifically asked to include the up/down buttons on mobile too. Although mobiles have kinetic scrolling, pages can get very long. Having a one-click button can save a lot of swiping.
This is obviously a stupid bug in desktop Mac, much like the stupid iOS bugs with fixed and absolute positioning. Is there any way of sniffing Mac easily?

Well yeah, putting them at the left could be fine too. Left or right is much the same for desktop use. I wouldn't put them in the corner for desktop, since that can be a nuisance with toolbar interference if you overshoot a bit.
What about user agent strings for sniffing Mac? Shouldn't that be possible?
ETA: If putting them at the left, you'd probably want to flip that for RTL.

Ok, so short version is that the easy option is to put them over at the left. Seems the most sensible.
I probably put them at the right because that's the arrangement at CEMB, which runs a portal sidebar at the left. When there's a left sidebar, having the buttons at the right is generally more convenient (or more flexible when it comes to layout). Not applicable to default Elk.

Where the is_osx was used, a comment was added to the css to make note of additional positioning being done via JS just so someone would not loose their mind. I think its ok for small tweaks like this where if JS is not on for some reason the layout effect is minimal.
I looked at the site on a OSx Mountain Lion 2 and it was fine, so this issue seems to be with Mavericks or whatever version of Safari it uses. (Don't know if the issue was also seen in Chrome w/Mavericks). I don't have access to a Mavericks install ATM

Nice! I like this much better on the left side. My cursor spends more time on the left of the screen anyway, especially when in the Admin section.
