273792 - mouse wheel does not control tbody in table with overflow: scroll

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 97283

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Nigel McNie]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041128 Firefox/1.0 (Debian package 1.0-4)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041128 Firefox/1.0 (Debian package 1.0-4)

When using a table with a thead, tfoot, and tbody, with the tbody set to a
max-height of 29em and overflow:scroll in CSS, when using the mouse wheel in the
tbody the tbody will not scroll, nor will the actual page.

To draw an analogy, when an iframe is embedded in a page with scrollbars on, if
you move the mouse over the iframe and use the mouse wheel, the iframe's content
will scroll. In the case of the tbody however, nothing scrolls at all.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit a page with a table on it, this table needs a tbody with an overflow of
scroll (or possibly auto), and a max-height value. The tbody needs to have
enough content to make the scrollbars need to be used.
2. Move the mouse over the tbody
3. Try to use the mouse wheel

Actual Results:  
No scrolling occurs, either in the tbody or the browser window. Just as if
you're typing in a textarea and try to use the mouse scroll, the window will not
move.

Expected Results:  
The tbody should scroll.

Already fixed on the trunk, just too late for 1.0

Aah. Searching for "overflow", "mouse", "scroll", "wheel" and the likes never
turned anything up... prolly my fault for not understanding fully the god-awful
search... Good to know there is a fix in the pipeline though :)
