200567 - frame and page scroll together with smoothScroll

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 199024

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

I am using a mouse to scroll.  A page with a scrollbar can contain a frame that
also has a scrollbar.  Case in point -- the "Entar A Bug" page (which I am
currently typing in as we speak).  With smoothScroll = true, trying to
mouse-scroll within the frame causes BOTH the frame and the page itself to
scroll.  When smoothScroll = false, only the frame scrolls.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
0. Make sure you have a scroll-mouse and that it works.

1. Enable general.smoothScroll

2. Go to http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Browser&format=guided

3. Position your mouse cursor within the frame known as "somebugs" (after the
first Search button).  It should have plenty -- enough to enable a scrollbar for
the frame.

4. Use your mouse to scroll.

Actual Results:  
Both the frame and the page scroll.

Expected Results:  
Only the frame should scroll.
This is the behavior when general.smoothScroll is false.


The problem does not seem to occur in textarea or table boxes, just frames.
