I can't dup this one Sujay -- but, I am using the zip file from the 
2000-08-30-08-m18 directory

Comment 2

[sujay]

now the entire composer window freezes when you click on HTML source tab...
I filed a separate bug...

Comment 3

[sujay]

I still see this in the respin build 8/31...

Comment 4

[rubydoo123]

yes, I see it now too -- starting with cmanske to see what can be done

Please don't give me this one!
The problem is that the scrollbars are *within* the editor content frame, 
and our CSS probably defaults to triggering the I-beam cursor and we need to
detect when we are over a scrollbar to show the arrow cursor instead.
Today I got distracted by drag and drop issues and will help out in that
arena, and would prefer to pass this class of problems elsewhere!
I bet kin can tackle it in a minute!

This bug also affects <textarea>s so you might want to mark bug 61921 as a dup.

A workaround for scrollbars is to style them in xul.css:
scrollbar {
  cursor: default;
}

This doesn't work for the corner because of bug 30579.

The test case from bug 61921 showing this problem with textareas may be helpful

using 2001011604 mtrunk win98.

an important added note - the scrollbar arrows don't have this problem.  only
the scrollbar thumb area is affected.

bug 65540 (which should be a dupe of this, even if indirectly) has a more exact
description of this problem.  essentially, the cursor shouldn't switch back to
the i-beam inside the edges of the thumb region, but should remain as the
default cursor seen over the edge pixel.  

this may be similar to the scrollbar mouseover effect problems seen in some skins.
