I don't understand. The behavior seems expected to me. I followed your steps.
Left-click on scrollbar and drag pointer into content area, release left click
and do a right-click. I see a context menu. What is wrong with that behavior?

[Asa Dotzler [:asa]]

over to apps. I was confused. this is the case where a right click should cancel
the activity and doesnt.

trudelle to triage.

Hmm, assuming step 3 is a right click done while the left button remains down,
then this is a weird case where users can move the thumb and the popup menu
selection at the same time.  ->hyatt/future

mass verification of WorksForMe bugs: to find all bugspam pertaining to this,
set your search string to "IfItWorksForSlappyTheSquirrelThenItWFM".

if you think this particular bug is *still* an open issue, please make sure of
the following before reopening:

a. that it's still a problem with ***recent trunk builds*** on the all
appropriate platform[s]

b. provide clear steps to reproduce (unless a good test case is already in the
bug report), making sure it pertains to the original problem (avoid morphing as
much as possible :)

I still see this in 0.9.8 release, Win ME.

Here some clearer steps to reproduce:
1- Load a page long enough to have a vertical scroll bar
2- Left click on the scroll bar, then drag on the page. Keep the left button
pressed all the time.
3- Right click to bring context menu (no need to keep right button down)
4- Move the mouse over a disabled item (such as stop) then release the left button
5- Move the mouse up and down.

Actual result: the page scrolls

Note: In order to have the page scrolling, you have to bring the mouse between
the vertical scroll bar and about the right half of the horizontal bar
(displaying progress while the page loads). It is strange but if the mouse is
before the right half of this bar, the page doesn't scroll (actually it's the
expected result).

Re-opening. Maybe someone can check this on Linux and Mac for the platform/OS
status.

Tested on Linux, same problem, except that the "middle progress bar" limitation
doesn't apply. On Linux, wherever the mouse is, the page scrolls.

Os should be all, but I can't change that by myself...

I was searching for this bug but found bug 112346 first.  I posted my comments
there.  The symptoms are the same for both bug but I'm not sure if one should be
a dupe of the other.

Correction: Is this a dupe of bug 48037?

Shoud this be a new feature?
Steps to reproduce scrolling without context menu:
1- Load a page long enough to have a vertical scroll bar
2- Left click on the scroll bar, then drag on the page. Keep the left button
pressed all the time.
3- Right click to bring context menu (no need to keep right button down).
4- Move the mouse over a disabled item (such as separator in the context menu)
then release the left button.
5- Right click on the scroll bar to remove the context menu.
6- Move the mouse up and down to scroll the page as if you were dragging the
scroll bar.

If it was only 1 step instead of 6 then I would use this feature a lot! Please
consider.

Yes, definately a dupe of bug 48037.

MASS-CHANGE:
This bug report is registered in the SeaMonkey product, but has been without a comment since the inception of the SeaMonkey project. This means that it was logged against the old Mozilla suite and we cannot determine that it's still valid for the current SeaMonkey suite. Because of this, we are setting it to an UNCONFIRMED state.

If you can confirm that this report still applies to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it back to the NEW state along with a comment on how you reproduced it on what Build ID, or if it's an enhancement request, why it's still worth implementing and in what way.
If you can confirm that the report doesn't apply to current SeaMonkey 2.x nightly builds, please set it to the appropriate RESOLVED state (WORKSFORME, INVALID, WONTFIX, or similar).
If no action happens within the next few months, we move this bug report to an EXPIRED state.

MASS-CHANGE:
This bug report is registered in the SeaMonkey product, but still has no comment since the inception of the SeaMonkey project 5 years ago.

Because of this, we're resolving the bug as EXPIRED.

If you still can reproduce the bug on SeaMonkey 2 or otherwise think it's still valid, please REOPEN it and if it is a platform or toolkit issue, move it to the according component.
