Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 180015

(Core :: DOM: UI Events & Focus Handling, defect)

Description

[Kevin Hjelden]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030516 Mozilla Firebird/0.6

In the page at http://texturizer.net/firebird/tips.html, let the marquee scroll
by and attempt to highlight the string of text from the right (or highlight from
the middle to past the end of the string). In the version of Mozilla Firebird
that I'm using, the page will scroll to the top of the page leaving the
highlighting stuck even though I let go of the mouse button. It requires using
the scroll wheel to get back to where the marquee is and clicking again to get
rid of the highlighting.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://texturizer.net/firebird/tips.html
2. Scroll to marquee about 2/3 down the page.
3. Highlight past the end of the string in the marquee

Actual Results:  
Page scrolled to the beginning, and difficult to end highlighting mode.

Expected Results:  
Terminated the highlighting at the end of the marquee, or allowed highlighting
further into the page
