213340 - scroll wheel doesn't work after application switch

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 212556

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Adam Reynolds]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030714 Mozilla Firebird/0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030714 Mozilla Firebird/0.6

If I minimize MozFirebird and open, for instance, Outlook Express, check my
mail, close it (this works for many applications, I have found), then restore
Firebird, I cannot mouse-wheel scroll the page until I click a link to the next
page, refresh, or close down/restart. This occurs sporadically, and getting it
to reproduce right now is not going all that well. However, it does occur
frequently while I multitask.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open any scrolling page URL in MozillaFirebird.
2. Switch applications (not sure exactly the steps I do to create the problem).
3. Return to MozillaFirebird and scrolling cannot be done unless a link is
clicked or reloaded.

Actual Results:  
Couldn't scroll with mouse wheel.

Expected Results:  
Scroll with mouse wheel.

I will keep testing and try to find a reliable chain of events that causes the
problem on my machine.
