If you try to scroll a combobox with a very long listing (NOT in a rendered
page, but in the xul interface like the combobox in
edit->preferences->language->select a language to add) using the mouse wheel, it
will jump a lot of possible options.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. go to edit -> preferences -> language -> select language to add
2. click on the combobox
3. now it is showing from A to C
4. scroll
5. now it shows from M to S

either if you have a lot of fonts installed on your system try:
1. go to edit -> preferences -> fonts and colors -> serif
2. click on the combobox
3. now it is showing from A to C serif
4. scroll
5. now it shows from L to S sans-serif... here it jumped about 70 options
Actual Results:  
jumps the options

Expected Results:  
don't jump the options :)
