192278 - Click and hold of scrollbar thumb uses all available CPU

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 141710

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, defect)

Description

[Paul Roebuck]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130

Open any page and hold down the scrollbar thumb. CPU usage will
spike and remain until thumb released. This is not the case with any
other browser I use.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Run 'top -u' in Terminal window
2.Open any page and hold down the scrollbar thumb (no movement).
3.Watch 'top' output as Mozilla chews CPU

Actual Results:  
Mozilla moves to first entry of 'top' output and remains until thumb released

Expected Results:  
Nothing. Holding a GUI component without moving it should be a NOOP.

Probably MacOS only.

It's not hapening to me but like you said it might just be a MacOS problem.
