251477 - Scrollwheel and autoscroll do not work in an element with overflow: auto set

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 97283

(Core :: Layout: Block and Inline, defect)

Description

[rajeev]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040707 Firefox/0.9.2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040707 Firefox/0.9.2

Overflow:auto is often applied in CSS to create scrollbars in elements that have
content exceeding their specified height and width. However, when this rule is
applied in Mozilla, the scrollbars work, but the scrollwheel and autoscroll do
not work inside of the element.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load a page into the browser which uses overflow: auto.
2. Try to scroll inside of the element using the scrollwheel or autoscroll.

Actual Results:  
Nothing happens inside of the element. The whole page is scrolled.

Expected Results:  
Only the element which is being scrolled in should be scrolled.

This should be relatively easy to develop a patch for, since I do not believe
IFRAMEs display this bug, so the code is already there. (Hopefully.)
