296403 - After javascript animation for 'digging', scroll wheel fails to scroll page

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Thomas K. (:tom)]

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050601
Firefox/1.0.4

After choosing to 'dig' an item, a javascript animation plays and (presumably)
AJAX registers a count with the server, which then increases the amount of
'digs' an item has by one (presumably, it grabs the latest count in case others
have also dug an item).

After an item is dug, scroll down the page with the scrollwheel.  Once the
animation finishes, scrolling ceases to function until the page is clicked on,
then the scroll wheel works again.  This also happens in recent trunk builds, I
believe.

It's rather annoying and their pages are valid except for the <nobr> usage
(which I have contacted them about and they say there's no other workaround), so
I don't know whos fault it is.

Can y ou please clarify the steps to reproduce? Also , re-test with Firefox 1.1
alpha (deer park). Firefox 1.0.x uses gecko 1.7 which is more than 1 year old

Steps to reproduce:
1) Visit digging area: http://digg.com/diggall
2) Click digg
3) While animation plays, scroll down page
4) When animation stops, scrolling fails.
5) Click on page
6) Scroll
7) Scrolling now works

Seems to work now:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050531
Firefox/1.0+
