Description

[Alan Merry]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.4a) Gecko/20030401
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.4a) Gecko/20030401

Mousewheel only scrolls the web page when the background (any non-input area) is
clicked and the mouse then placed over the vertical scroll bar on the
right-hand-side of the screen.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Clicking on the background produces the following:
 a. Mousewheel scrolls the 'Component' menu when mouse is over the web page.
 b. Mousewheel scrolls the web page when mouse is over the vertical scroll bar
    on the right-hand-side of the screen.
 c. Mousewheel doesn't scroll anything when mouse is over the menus and toolbars 
    at the top or bottom of the screen.

2.  Clicking inside any text box or any menu produces the following:
 a. Mousewheel scrolls the 'Component' menu when mouse is over the web page.
 b. Mousewheel doesn't scroll anything when mouse is over the vertical scroll
    bar on the right-hand-side of the screen or the menus and toolbars at the
    top or bottom of the screen.


Expected Results:  
Scroll the menu or text box currently selected.
Scroll the web page when no menu or text box is selected with the mouse anywhere
over the background of the page.

DUP of bug 16063 ?
I see this bug with
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; de-AT; rv:1.4a) Gecko/20030401 and a4tech WOP-35
wheel-muse. 
The bug has been reportet again as bug 203519
I think bug 203519 has to be reopened and this one to be made DUP of bug 16063

WFM     I think.

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; es-ES; rv:1.5) Gecko/20030916

I am not exactly clear on what the expected or correct behavior is.

Here the mousewheel scrolls the whole page. The only way to get the Component
menu to scroll is to click inside of it. Then it does not matter were the mouse
pointer is on the page. To scroll the whole page again, I simply click anywhere
on the background, and the whole page then scrolls.

The drop-down text boxes do not scroll when selected (clicked on). What is
normal for web forms & wheel mice?

(I am using the TrackPoint 'mouse' on an IBM thinkpad laptop)

Half of the reported scroll bugs either work for me or don't seem to be actual
bugs, but on my setup I have the following issues:

-As in 1(c), if you move the mouse pointer to either above or below the actual
webpage (i.e. so the pointer is above the status bar, navigation toolbar,
personal toolbar, etc.), then scrolling no longer works.

-If you click on one of those drop-down lists (such as for Product or Component
above), scrolling has no effect, when it should let you scroll through the
different options in the list.

-In the address bar, when you select the drop-down option so that you can select
from webpages you've been to, scrolling does not work, when you should be able
to scroll through the different URLs without using the keyboard.

This looks like it may be a dupe of bug 33732 or 20618.  Both are some of the
more frequently reported bugs.

OK, everything now WFM on my new WinXP PC with Gecko 1.9alpha1.  I'm going to resolve this bug as a duplicate of the already fixed bug 33732.  Feel free to reopen or make a comment if this bug still occurs for you on a trunk build (to be Firefox 3), but be aware that Win98 is no longer supported on the trunk.
