268004 - can't scroll page with arrow keys or mouse wheel

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 97283

(Core :: DOM: UI Events & Focus Handling, defect)

Description

[Jamie Zawinski]

I use CSS "position: fixed" to get a frameset-like look for my Bookmarks page
without actually using frames: http://www.jwz.org/bookmarks.html

I can only scroll the page with the scrollbar; the arrow keys, mouse wheel, and
PgUp/PgDown won't scroll it.

It works for me, using:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8a5) Gecko/20041104
Firefox/0.9.1+
I think this was fixed by the patch for bug 251986.

keys are not working, mousewheel initially isn´t working, but works, after a
link has been opened with middle-click.

You use overflow: auto; in the stylesheet. The scrolling works on Mozilla
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8a5) Gecko/20041108. This
problem is described in bug 97283 and was fixed in the 1.8 alpha ~3. The
comments on bug 97283 make it clear that this will not make it into a future
1.7.x release.
