Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, enhancement)

[Jared McAteer]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4

This may be in relation to <a
href=https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=62431>Bug#62431</a> but it
would be a nice enhancement so that when you've reached the bottom of a
scrollable textarea that the page regains focus if the user trys to scroll
further. It is an annoyance to have to click out of the text area to continue
scrolling

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try scrolling test case in Firefox
2. Try scrolling test case in IE



Actual Results:  
Firefox will stop at the end of the div and textarea until focus is pulled out
of it, where IE will continue to scroll.

Expected Results:  
When Firefox reaches the end of the areas it should continue to scroll down the
page rather than halting.

content.
