162338 - middle click in text area _horizontal_ scrollbar pastes as well as scrolls

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 70698

(Core :: Layout: Form Controls, defect)

Description

[Daniel B.]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i586; en-US; rv:1.1b) Gecko/20020722
BuildID:    2002072204

In a text area, when you middle click on the horizontal scrollbar 
outside the "thumb," the text ares pastes as well as scrolls.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to a page with a text area.  (E.g., 
   http://www.dyncorp.com/working/apply.asp, although that probably
   requires setting up an account.)  E-mail me if you'd like me to
   do a Save As and e-mail you the source.

2. Enter a line of text wide enough to make the the horizontal scroll
   bar appear.

3. In some other X11 window, select some text.

4. Notice whether the text insertion point is in the text area.

5. Middle-click in the horizontal scrollbar somewhere other than
   on the "thumb."



Actual Results:  The text area pastes the current X selection into the text area in
addition to scrolling left or right.


Expected Results:  The area should just scroll left or right.

The middle-click should be consumed by the scrollbar and not passed
up(down?) to the scrollable text pane.



It scrolls on mouse-down, and pastes on mouse-up.

This bug seems very closely related to bug 162337 which I just
submitted.
