I like to scroll around documents by highlighting text and moving the mouse out of the window. With Mozilla M11, some things happen that are not good. A button is clicked out of the window, and the page doesn't scroll. This not only makes it hard for wierdos like me to browse around the document, but it makes highlighting more than a screen of text very hard. Communicator scrolled the page faster the more you were out of the window. I liked that feature.

I can't get this to reproduce -- this is what I did: 1. launch seamonkey and resize the window to a smaller size 2. access a page that requires scrolling 3. set focus in the window, press the right mouse button and drag the caret out of the window RESULT: window scrolls as designed. The closer to the edge of the window, the window scrolls slowly, the further away from the window, it scrolls faster. The selection witin the window also extended.
