1353056 - unable to scroll about:preferences

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1348828

(Firefox :: Settings UI, defect)

Description

[Tomer Cohen :tomer]

The new preferences reorg created a new usability issue - I am unable to scroll down using the mouse wheel on the General panel.

Steps to reproduce:
Enter the preferences page, then scroll down using the mouse wheel.

Current result: 
The scrolling stuck on the search engines selection list, and then scrolls only inside the list.

Expected result: 
Be able to scroll all the way to the bottom of the page.


I'd suggest replacing the fixed-height list with a plain HTML-style list. The whole preferences screen is a webpage after all, so I don't see why the components in the preferences still behave like it is displayed on a separated window with a fixed size.
