298269 - Autoscroll does not work on html items with css overflow

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 295977

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[John A. Bilicki III]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050614 Firefox/1.0+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050614 Firefox/1.0+

On a **** school computer I attempted to use the default (autoscroll I believe
it's called) which is the clicking of the scroll button if you haven't installed
software to give the scroll button a different setting.  I was unable to scroll
the overflow div that emulates an iframe on my site though I was able to use it
properly in msie.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use a mouse with a scrollwheel without the click action set to anything but
default (im using XP).
2. Click the scrollwheel (not scroll) inside of an overflow div.
Actual Results:  
I will see the 4 direction circle (with the dot in the middle) but nothing
happens when I move the mouse around.

Expected Results:  
If I move the muose up or down the overflow div should scroll vertically.

I've noticed that a few people tend to use this mouse function and have had a
few clients request it.
