297578 - onscroll event does not fire when scrolling by dragging in content

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 189308

(Core :: DOM: Events, defect)

Description

[Jonathan Hurshman]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en) AppleWebKit/412 (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/412
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4

The onscroll event on the body element and on all other DOM elements ought to fire if the user "scrolls" 
by clicking within the element content and dragging to the element edge. However, it does not fire.

Both Safari (2.0 tested) and IE (6.0 tested) fire onscroll in this case, but Firefox does not.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load a page long enough to cause scrollbars to appear.
2. Enter the following in the address bar:
javascript:void(window.onscroll=function(){window.status=document.body.scrollTop})
2. Scroll by clicking within the document and dragging to the edge of the window.

Actual Results:  
The window status does not update. (It does update if you scroll using the scrollbar.)

Expected Results:  
The window status should have updated.
