1412833 - sidebarAction vertical scrollbar - mouse acts on area slightly to the left of the scrollbar slider

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: General, enhancement, P5)

Description

[u462496]

STR:

Create sidebarAction page with vertical list of items long enough to cause overflow and sprout vertical scrollbar.

When using the mouse to grab the scrollbar slider, it behaves as if the slider were shifted a few pixels to the left of its actual position.

This is especially bothersome on linux, where there is only a 2px wide detection area to activate the slider.

Kevin, I'm assuming this happens with sidebar elements other than WebExtensions - such as bookmarks, history and so on? If so we'll move it over to an appropriate Firefox component.

Ah yes, that is correct.

Moving this over to the Firefox component then, since it seems to affect all sidebars.

I can't reproduce, and without the reporter here to clarify, it seems unlikely this can be addressed.
