User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8a2) Gecko/20040615 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8a2) Gecko/20040615 I recently noticed that Mozilla seomtimes refuses scrolling a page by mouse wheel and keyboard, the scroll bars, however, work. But - in rare cases - not even these work. I may click-and_drag the bars, but clicking the area with nor bar actually in results in ... guess ... nothing. The same applies to <textarea>/<select> scroll bars. <select> list may, however, by crawled by using the keyboard's UP/DOWN/PGUP/PGDOWN keys. I cannot exactly tell what circumstances are affecting the browser to do so, but I'll try to figure out. I've the Tabbrowser Extensions installed. The behavior seems to only come up when multiple tabs are opened at the same time (I guess around 8+) and the system has undergone some heavy load. After the first tab is 'visibly locked' it sometime seems the effect spreads over to other tabs as well. The effect is not aware of the pages which are 'locked' having frames, DHTML or whatever. It may happen anytime anywhere. But: ofter there are forms on the pages that get 'locked'. Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use Mozilla as usual 2. Open some tabs (6,7,8 ...) 3. Make your box have load (???) 4. Be unable to scroll some pages... Actual Results: Simetimes 'visual locked' pages Expected Results: Scroll ;) I'll update to the current CVS later today to see if the problem persists. As the recent checkins do not promise any change to the behavior. But, hey ... the change went in with no 'hint' as well... Happy hacking, folks. I would if I just could. ;)
Is could be bug 97283 that you are seeing.
(In reply to comment #1) > Is could be bug 97283 that you are seeing. I don't think so. I does not only affect any <DIV> or whatever. It affects the whole visible area as well as <TEXTAREA> (!) / <SELECT> (!) elements. HTH, Marc
