User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20021104 Chimera/0.6

The screenY value of the Event Object recorded by Camino is inverse to the
correct value (i.e. higher values towards the top of the screen and lower values
towards the screen bottom)

This bug is related to bug 165607
(http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=165607) which has already been
fixed and is apparently caused by the PostScript/PDF-based nature of MacOSX's
native coordinate system.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
<input type="button" value="show event Y-position" onClick="alert(event.screenY)" >

Confirmed using Camino/2004-02-29-08. It works fine using Mozilla
2004-03-14-05-trunk and FireFox, so Camino only.

What is the version of OS currently used?
When it is the problem which occurs only by 10.3.x, does it depend with bug 224213?

Comment 4

[Greg K.]

My comment 1 was using 10.2.8.

Comment 5

[Hiro]

This problem was reproduced although I was using 10.3.3.
