When viewing a page with a DIV tag that has the CSS attribute "overflow: scroll;
" you cannot use the scroll wheel (middle button) of a mouse to scroll through
the content of the DIV tag.

When you move the mouse scroll wheel while the mouse is over a DIV tag, the
entire page will scroll, instead of the inner content of the DIV tag.

This is demonstrated in the following page:
http://members.iinet.net.au/~distinctive/div/div.htm

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the example page mentioned in this report
2. Move the mouse so that the cursor is inside the DIV tag (the box with the
black dotted border)
3. Attempt to use the scroll wheel on the mouse to scroll the contents of the
DIV tag.
4. The entire page will scroll instead of the content of the div tag.

Actual Results:  
The entire page content scrolls.

Expected Results:  
The contents of the div tag should have scrolled.
The rest of the page shoulc not have scrolled.
