There's a unique attribute about this bug. If there is a link inside the said
<div> that has an overflow value set to "scroll" or "auto", you can drag and
drop that link into the div (which should do nothing) and then the mouse wheel
reponds to the div. So, here's the steps.

1.) go to http://69.27.100.145/forums/view_post.php?id=24 (hopefully, it's still
up) you will not be able to use your scroll wheel to scroll the middle content
area (scrollable <div>)
2.) Inside the middle content area (scrollable div) drag and drop any link (such
as the "Next Topic" link) inside of that same div. (basically, hold down on the
left mouse button and move the mouse sideways a few pixels, to get the "can't do
that" mouse icon, and let go of the mouse button)
3.) now, use your scroll wheel - it works! ;-)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.) go to http://69.27.100.145/forums/view_post.php?id=24 (hopefully, it's still
up) you will not be able to use your scroll wheel to scroll the middle content
area (scrollable <div>)

that" mouse icon, and let go of the mouse button)
3.) now, use your scroll wheel - it works! ;-)
Actual Results:  
You can scroll

Expected Results:  
Allow you to scroll inside of a div with the overflow attribute (css?) set to
"auto" or "scroll" -- and figure out why the heck it *does* allow it when you
drag and drop an image inside of that div. :-)

none, tested on multiple computers
