Is this a dupe of bug 1257813?

Comment 2

[Jumper Chen]

No, this issue is related to the CSS "overflow:hidden", without it everything works well.

[Andrew Overholt [:overholt]]

Oh, then maybe a dupe of bug 1265237?

Is this bug a regression? I'd be surprised if it was. My guess is that this is caused by the automatic mouse capturing that scrollable elements do, at https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/5511d54a3f172c1d68f98cc55dce4de1d0ba1b51/layout/generic/nsFrame.cpp#3260

Attachment: Standalone testcase

I accidentally built a testcase for this while trying to debug a WebCompat issue. As the initial report is hosted on jsfiddle and might disappear some day, the simplified testcase is attached.

Flagging for WebCompat prioritization, as this breaks a JS table script, see bug 1529753.
