256602 - Page scramble with scroll bar moving up

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Mark Fischer]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en) AppleWebKit/125.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/125.9
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040803 Firefox/0.9.3

When I scroll down, everything is great.  When I scroll up, every web page scrambles in the space from 
the scroll bar up if you were to draw a horizontle line across the page.  Then, all buttons on the page 
no longer work, so a page re-load is required to fix the problem and move my view back to the top of 
the page.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Scroll down any given page
2.Scroll up while holding the curser on the scroll bar or by clicking above the bar.
3.
Actual Results:  
The upper half of the screen (from the scroll bar up) scrambles

Expected Results:  
allowed me to scroll up smoothly

I have found this bug using every theme I have sampled.  I am running 10.3.5 now, but it started from 
the first time I installed.  I have upgraded with every firfox upgrade over the past two months, and have 
cleaned all traces of firefox from my computer between installs the past few installs.

I have been using Firefox since it came out and it just started doing the same thing to me.  I am on a 
Mac G4 with OS X 10.3.7.  I will have to switch back to Safari because Firefox makes the pages 
unreadable.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
