User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8a) Gecko/20040519 Firefox/0.8.0+

When selecting text on a page, if you move the pointer outside the page it will
scroll, allowing you to select text that extends outside the currently visible area.

In frames and iframes, this is no longer happening.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to test case.  Resize browser if necessary so that the text in bottom
right frame cannot all be seen at once.
2. Highlight some text in the frame.
3. While highlighting text, try to scroll up and down in order to extend the
highlighted area.

Actual Results:  
No scrolling.
Inability to highlight more text than fits on screen at once using mouse.

Expected Results:  
Frame window should scroll.

Please retest once bug 243757 is fixed -- that fixes some mouse-grabbing fallout
for frames.

wfm FF trunk 20040602 Win2k, please reopen if still seeing this with a nightly
build.
