1443937 - Autoscroller does not disengage when middle clicking anywhere other than the widget.

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Firefox :: Tabbed Browser, defect, P1)

Description

[slew]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:59.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/59.0
Build ID: 20100101



Actual results:

There's no easy way to stop autoscrolling in the latest nightly, left click interacts with the content below the cursor, middle click repositions the autoscroller at the place that was clicked, right clicking creates a context menu and interacts with the page.


Expected results:

Middle clicking anywhere while the autoscroller is showing should stop autoscrolling, not reposition and continue autoscrolling.

I can't seem to reproduce this with my trackpad on Ubuntu. Wondering if this is platform-dependent or can only be reproduced with a mouse...

One more discovery, the autoscroller behaves as expected on internal pages (about:) but not on actual web pages or about:reader.

I can also confirm it on Windows with 60b3 but not on Arch linux same version.

This regressed with bug 1442651 because that put the autoscroll popup in #mainPopupSet rather than some random place in the document, and now we hit this somewhat bogus-looking code path:

Question as it appears to be targeting 61 for the patch, will it be included also in next 60betas?

That's the goal but it hasn't landed in 60 yet.

I'm assuming the 60 status reset was accidental.

Updated by mistake status-firefox60.
