After testing the 3 versions (autoscrolling where you cannot see the tab,
autoscrolling where you can see the tabs, no autoscrolling when you click on
a tab) and after considering JV's arguments about anchors and my personal
usability preferences, I like the version with autoscrolling and visible
tabs best. Not having to scroll is indeed a good thing since it saves the
user some time but since tabs can still be viewed clearly it does not
confuse him.

I definitely prefer this.
From my POV reducing the need of manual scrolling is a good thing.
When I see the tabs at the bottom of my viewport, if I want to see the
attachments, I click on "attachments" I'd prefer not to have to scroll
to see a maximum of them.
BTW I understand that the "abrupt" scrolling can be disappointing but
unfortunately scriptaculous "smooth scrolling" (nice sliding
transition) is broken in the version we use (the last one).
