292740 - Upward scrolling does not move the page upward and compresses the text at the top

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Dan Gold]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

In every URL, when I scroll upward either using the arrows or the cursor, the
page refuses to move upward and the text at the top is "compressed" into a small
area. I have to refresh the page to restore proper viewing. 
This has begun happening only recently.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Access any URL
2. Scroll Down and then Up
3.

Actual Results:  
Page refuses to scroll up. Text and images are compressed into a small area at
the top of the page.

Expected Results:  
It should have scrolled up normally; i.e., the page should move upward.

This does not occur with Safari, so I doubt it is a problem with the OS.
Also, I just downloaded the newest version of Firefox and opened the app from
the disk image.  The problem occurred.

You might want to check with a later version of the browser, not because I think
that your bug has been identified and resolved already, simply that the regulars
at Bugzilla typically work with lizards nomore than a couple of days old.

Using your recipe, I could not reproduce this.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
