Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 22775

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[gthompson]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050728 SeaMonkey/1.0a
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050728 SeaMonkey/1.0a

When I used Firefox, I could click the scroll wheel on my mouse and nudge the
mouse to scroll, but in Seamonkey Nightly's, I can't do that! My scroll wheel
works when I scroll with it the traditional way.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open Seamonkey
2.Find a scrollable web page
3.Click your scroll wheel
4.Move mouse

Actual Results:  
Nothing happened

Expected Results:  
The cursor should have turned into a gismo that looks like a Compass, and if you
moved the mouse in a certain direction, it would have scrolled the page the
corrosponding direction.

Mouse: Logitech MX510 mouse

I think this Firfox feature is called "panning" or so, it's surely not a
SeaMonkey error, it might be an RFE (may even be filed already), but I'm not
even sure we'd want to have it.
For sure, it won't block any release.

That's because you have
Tools/Options.../Advanced/Browsing/Use autoscrolling 
checkbox checked in Firefox where there is no equivalent in Mozilla Suite.
Mozilla Suite used to have an autoscroll extension

and I don't know if it still works
