When you scroll a page, either using the keyboard arrow keys, or the mousewheel, the scrolling suddenly stops when the mouse hovers over a flash ad. These ads apparantly hijack the scroll events. You may think this is a problem caused by the flash plugin, but I think this is unexpected behaviour for the user. Maybe these events should only be passed to plugins when scrolling started inside the plugins screen area? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. visit above URL 2. scroll page down 3. scrolling stops when mouse over ad. Actual Results: scrolling stops. Expected Results: Page should keep scrolling
