Do you have a wheel mouse ? What window manager do you use ?

Can you reproduce on a current build ?

I can't reproduce this. I'm trying the following:

1) Open two mozilla windows. In first window, click on vertical scrollbar, drag
it down, release the button.
2) Press alt-tab and cycle to other mozilla window. Release alt-tab. Other
mozilla window pops to the front (I'm using KDE).
3) Move mouse to second window's vertical scroll bar, drag it down. Second
window scrolls as expected.

I also tried the following:

1) Open two mozilla windows. In first window, click on vertical scrollbar, drag
it down, keep mouse button held down.
2) Hit alt-tab. Nothing happens. Must release the mouse button for alt-tab to work.

Roberto, can you reproduce this with a current version of mozilla? Can you give
the steps to reproduce in more detail? What window manager (Gnome? KDE?) are you
using?

I guess I can reproduce this under gnome, but I don't think it's a bug. It's
just the way gnome's window manager works.

1) Open two mozilla windows. In first window, click on vertical scrollbar, drag
it down, release the button.
2) Press alt-tab and cycle to other mozilla window. Release alt-tab. Other
mozilla window pops to the front.
3) Move mouse to second window's vertical scroll bar, drag it down. Second
window scrolls as expected.

The original report doesn't say whether the mouse button should be released
after step 1, and the reporter didn't clarify when I asked him to, so I also tried:

1) Open two mozilla windows. In first window, click on vertical scrollbar, drag
it down, keep mouse button held down.
2) Hit alt-tab. WM lets me select another window. Cycle to other mozilla window
and release keyboard buttons. Other mozilla window pops to front & gains focus.
3) Move mouse up & down. Original mozilla window scrolls as if I'm still holding
the scrollbar, which is basically what I'm doing.

This seems to be the behavior Roberto is complaining about. It has nothing to do
with mozilla though; I can repeat the procedure with other programs
(gnome-terminal, for example) and get the same result.

I'm going to resolve this invalid since it appears to be standard behavior for
gnome. Roberto, if you feel that I haven't reproduced the problem accurately,
please feel free to reopen, but you should describe the steps to reproduce in
more detail than you have.

My impression is that the problem can be connected with Gnome, at the moment I
using also Gnome 2 and I have not see again the problem...
