See also bug 271702. This report was filed after the bug was originally closed,
but has similar symptoms.

I locked down what's causing it...

Go to a page that requires scrolling. While the page is still at the top,
middle-click...it shows up in the right location. However, if you scroll down,
then middle-click again, the arrows will be mis-aligned, and will do so further
and further as you go down.

Can you reproduce this bug with a clean profile and the latest build ? If so
please give an example site. Also are you using Intellimouse, Logitech or other
mouse driver beyond the standard windows drivers ?

Attachment: example w/steps

This is an example. Follow what it says, and it should reproduce.

I'm using a Logitech optical mouse, and have been since ff 0.8 without any
problems. And i'm using 12/18 trunk.

Attachment WFM w/20041218 and everything after 20041209, I can only reproduce by
going back before the bug 271702 checkin.

Have you verified the bug with a clean profile ?

Clean profile works...interesting.

The only mouse-related extension I have is all-in-one gestures, but I didn't
think that could be a problem.
