152169 - Third mouse button does not scroll

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 20618

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, defect)

From Bugzilla Helper:

You might consider this a FEATURE rather than a bug, but it is the only reason I
shall not use MOZILLA or Netscape 6 until this is fixed/changed.  I am using an
IBM ThinkPad 570, and on ALL other browsers (IE6, OPERA or Netscape 4,79) the
third button of the "mouse" allows scrolling the browser's content up and down
when it is pressed and the eraser pointer is moved.  This simple procedure does
NOT work on Mozilla or Netscape 6.
If possible, change that.
Thanks


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.open Mozilla
2.Press the third mouse button
3.Push the "eraser" pointing device

Actual Results:  the attempt to scroll the browser content is ignored.  The
scroll bar is the only way, which is unacceptable for me.

Expected Results:  Browser content should scroll up and down
