It's an .asp file as written by Microsoft themselves, so goodness knows it's
probably not throwing standards-compliant code at me, but: 

When I go to Print Preview and touch the scroll wheel on the mouse, the frame in
the Print Preview page scrolls within the page--that is, the page to be printed
contains the entire multiframe layout but only one page inside scrolls while the
rest of the page-to-print remains the same. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Go to URL above 
2.  Select Print Preview
3.  Hold the mouse over the main text area and scroll using the mouse scroll
wheel.  

Actual Results:  
The text within a frame on the to-be-printed page was scrolling.

Expected Results:  
Unless this is a bizarre feature related to my ability to print (see next bug
I'm about to file), the 'printed' (well, to-be-printed) text on a Print Preview
page should be static.  

Internet Explorer behaves in the way I expected (attempting to scroll causes the
page in the previewer to scroll, not the text within a section of the page).

I can imagine this being related to formatting the page for printing, but I
cannot currently print 'as laid out on screen' (see next bug).  If this were the
case, though, I would expect to be able to adjust the visible part of a frame
using the arrow keys or something else aside from the mouse scroll wheel.

A friend of mine confirmed this bug also using XP with SP1 and Firefox 1.0.4.
