117380 - mousewheel doesn't scroll page if selection is inside a multiline textbox

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 33732

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Peter Lairo]

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:0.9.7+) Gecko/20011228

mousewheel doesn't scroll page if selection is inside a multiline textbox.

reproduce:
- create a new bug
- enter info (incl some multiline text in "description"
- leave selection in description (click there once)
- move mouse anywhere and scroll mousewheel

expected: page scrolls, actually, WHATEVER is under the mouse should scroll. The
user should NOT have to click anywhere to scroll. You point and scroll; NOT
point, CLICK and scroll (33% more steps involvd).

actual: page does not scroll

only workaround: click outside multiline textbox, then scroll = annoying.

I'm using an M$ intellimouse optical, driver ver, ??? (how to tell?)
