206897 - ondblClick in body is triggered when double-clicking on scroll bars and scroll arrows

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Core :: DOM: Events, defect, P5)

Description

[Joseph Delaney]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030522
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030522

On a long page that uses an "ondblclick" handler in the body tag (see
http://www.rci.rutgers.edu/~jpd/wakka/LongPage for an example), repeatedly
clicking on the grey area in the scroll bar beneath the elevator will trigger
the handler, just as if you had double-clicked on the page itself. In the
example, double-clicking the body will bring you to the edit page for the wiki. 

Using the Modern theme, this seems to affect clicking the down-arrow too,
although I did not notice that when I was using the Orbit3+1 theme.  

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://www.rci.rutgers.edu/~jpd/wakka/LongPage
2. click twice in the scroll bar to move the page down two screenfuls
3. Notice that a new page is loading, wait a second and you will be in the
wiki's edit mode.

Actual Results:  
The body's ondblClick handler is triggered

Expected Results:  
Clicking the scroll bar should only affect scrolling, and not pass through to
the body of  the page.

Scroll arrows are affected in Orbit3+1 as well. 

I've duplicated the behavior on a Windows XP machine running Mozilla 1.3

Confirmed using FizzillaMach/2003-05-20-08-trunk only with the Modern theme.
Reassigning to Themes.

This happens with all themes on Linux, actually.  This is not likely to be a
theme-specific thing, but native widget stuff may interfere in some cases....

Hey Joseph,
Can you still reproduce this or should we close it?

It's a very old report and the website in the original reported isn't valid. I'm going to close this as INCOMPLETE.
Please file a new issue.
