Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 213496

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[David J. Lennon]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5b) Gecko/20030807 Mozilla Firebird/0.6.1+

If you press the middle mouse wheel down and release to get the 4 direction
arrows, and move the mouse pointer to scroll autmatically in one direction, say,
downwards,  you cannot then use the middle mouse scrool wheel to SCROLL (not
push down) in another direction. It scrolls upwards until you stop rolling the
wheel but continues to scroll downwards - your original action.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Get on any website with a verticle bar thing.
2. Press the mouse button down to get the 4 pointers and move the mouse pointer
downwards so you automatically scroll.
3. Now try to use the *middle mouse wheel* to scroll - Like an Intellimouse in
the opposite direction

Actual Results:  
Same as bug report.

Expected Results:  
Firebird should have cancelled the "4 pointer" and left the mouse direction
static. *DO THIS IN FIREBIRD THEN COMPARE TO MSIE 6*. IE6 does the expected results.
