Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: Address Book, defect)

Description

[RM]

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

The Contacts Window sometimes does not respond to mouse clicks
of use of the scroll button.  Instead, it arbitarily scrolls to bottom
of contacts list and the up arrow click does not respond nor does
attempt to scroll up with the scroll button.  The scroll button returns
to bottom of list and does now allow scrolling upwards for another
selection.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. select name from contact list
2. select a few more names from contact list
3. Not always, but sometimes, the list will not respond to mouse click, or
scroll button, but scrolls to bottom of list.

Actual Results:  
To get control of the contact list again
I've had to kill the contacts window.
Then open it up again.
Then the contacts window responds to mousd click selections and scroll button.

Expected Results:  
The scroll bar should stay on the selection and not
scroll down to bottom of list and not allow further
selections.
