(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[basketball_297]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

The firefox scrollbar does not always scroll to the bottom of the page. It cuts
off the bottom, and can get particularly annoying. Sometimes you can scroll back
up, then down, and then it works, sometimes. It occurred multiple times while
scrolling down this page, and doesn't always show me the rest of the forms.

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Scroll down a longer web page




Expected Results:  
Scroll down the entire web page

Any specific sites that cause this problem?

I concur. Whenever I have more than one tab open, and text extends all the way
to the bottom of the page, I am unable to scroll down to the bottom page to see
the remaining text. This is particularly apparent when the page has a top frame,
which is unscrollable, and the bottom frame, which has a scrollbar. the bottom
frame cannot scroll to the bottom of the page if there is another tab open.
