234669 - XML Document tree vanishes when being scrolled with the wheel mouse (addon)

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 215762

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[XFox]

User-Agent:       
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040113

When viewing an XML document (no styles, just the tree) such as
http://www.techsonic.net/xfox/games/heroes/shsave.xml, the document renders
perfectly. However, if you use a mouse wheel / button defined to scroll the page
with the Smooth Scroll addon, the scroll icon stays on the screen at the spot
where you clicked the button and XML document in the background will become
blank and unviewable.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install the Smooth Wheel scroller addon from
http://extensionroom.mozdev.org/more-info/smoothwheel
2. Look at http://www.techsonic.net/xfox/games/heroes/shsave.xml
3. Click middle mouse button / wheel (doesn't matter if you scroll or not)

Actual Results:  
The scroll icon stays on the screen and the xml tree vanishes. The page can be
reloaded without any trouble (no crash), but this bug is reproducable.


This bug is reproducable in both Mozilla 1.6 and Firefox 0.8 (Firefox must have
self detected the wheel scroll addon).

This is a bug in the extension code -- it adds styles to the page, and
prettyprinting is dropped as soon as the page is styled (which it should be;
that part is correct).  Firefox includes this smoothscroll thing by default, and
it's broken there too.

This is also a duplicate.....  Not sure which component the original was in. 
Possibly over in firefox-land.

yeah, its a dupe.  Really, the extension shouldn't put things in the DOM of the
page, more info in the original.
