Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 264129

(Camino Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect)

Description

[ender.mb]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8a5) Gecko/20041115 Camino/0.8+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8a5) Gecko/20041115 Camino/0.8+

In any page with Flash content taller than the browser's content area, clicking
on a button or link within the Flash area will cause the page to scroll to the
top if the page has been scrolled down at all. Furthermore, the button usually
does not have the desired effect.

This has been tested with a clean profile and removed
org.mozilla.navigator.plist. It does not reproduce in Firefox 1.0.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Resize your browser window so that the content area is less than 500px tall.
2. Go to the example url above (pinback.com)
3. Try to click any of the links at the bottom of the flash content

Actual Results:  
Page scrolls to the top of the flash content; link is not followed

Expected Results:  
link should be followed with no scrolling

i think this is a dupe of another trunk bug that also affects mac mozilla.
