259421 - Vertical scroll bar in URL list stays selected when it's actually not

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

Description

[R.Smith]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.2) Gecko/20040803
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.2) Gecko/20040803

When viewing the drop-down list of previously typed URL's in Mozilla, the
vertical scroll-bar thinks it's selected (i.e. it thinks you're still
left-clicking on it) when in fact it is not. This results in automatic scrolling
of the URL list if you move your mouse up or down.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Press the downward arrow to expand the drop-down list of previously typed
URL's in Mozilla.
2. Click and drag the scroll bar all the way down the the bottom of the field.
Keeping the mouse button held down, move the mouse out of the URL list and on to
the page somewhere.
3. Release the mouse button and move the mouse cursor in to the URL list. The
entire list should scroll up and down according to where the mouse is within the
list.

Actual Results:  
The URL list scrolls with mouse movement.

Expected Results:  
Unless this is intended behaviour, nothing should have happened. The scroll bar
should be unselected when the mouse button is no longer held down.

Using the 'classic' theme. Have not tried with the 'modern' theme.

OS is Fedora Core 2, using an official Fedora build of Mozilla 1.7.2.

This 'bug' doesnt appear to happen with the scroll bar of the main window.

I don't see this with my 1.8a4 self-build on RH7.3

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.
