212499 - Compose window does not scroll when dragging into top and bottom margins

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 187751

(MailNews Core :: Composition, defect)

Description

[Peter Kirk]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624

The compose window scrolls up and down when the mouse pointer is dragged into
the top or bottom margin of the window. That is correct. But when text is
selected for drag and drop and the mouse pointer is then dragged, this scrolling
of the window is disabled, instead I get a "no entry" mouse pointer. This is not
standard Windows behaviour. It means that it is (as far as I know) impossible to
drag and drop text outside the current window.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click "reply" to a message more than one screen long
2. Select any word or text
3. Depress the left mouse button and move the pointer to the top or bottom
margin of the window

Actual Results:  
Mouse pointer becomes a "no entry" sign

Expected Results:  
Window should scroll up or down, as happens when step 2 is omitted above
