When going back to previous visited page, scrollwheel on mouse doesn't work
until cursor is moved.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit the URL above.
2. Click at the link "ADC Home" at the top of the page.
3. Wait till the new page is fully loaded.
4. Move the mouse cursor to the empty space to the right of the page.
5. Go back to previouse page with keyboard command or mouse back button.
6. Without move the mouse cursor, move the scrollwheel.

Actual Results:  
The page does not scroll with the scrollwheel movement until mouse curor is moved.

Expected Results:  
The page scrolls with the scrollwheel movement.

This can be difficult to reproduce with with a mouse. I am using a trackball so
I can easily move the scrollwheel without moving the mouse cursor.

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

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.
