In Aviary, I could reliably use the shift key with my scroll wheel as my
forward/backward control view viewing my web browsing history. This is
completely broken in DeerPark.

Reproducible: Always

Related to bug 300726 and bug 282564?

I can reproduce on on the 1.8 branch as well as the aviary branch, so it doesn't
seem to be a regression.

The problem with this is that this is NOT a duplicate of 171680 - it's a
different bug (probably not even a regression). This was fixed and has worked
properly since Firefox 1.0 and continues to work today in the 1.0.7
pre-releases. "Withshiftkey" does NOT work in the branch builds for 1.5,
however, and nobody seems to be doing anything about it, which is unfortunate.

Let's try duping this one again! ;)


From original report of bug 309730..

Shift+Scroll: * In 1.7 - was mapped to back/forward (using the horizontal scroll
                prefs).
              * In 1.8 - works as horizontal-scrolling, as expected.

Ctrl+wheel: should be mapped to History.
Cmd+wheel: text size
Opt+wheel: scroll line by line


And from the patch..

On OS X, if the wheel has one axis only, shift+wheel comes through as a
horizontal scroll event. Thus, we can't assign anything other than normal
scrolling to shift+wheel.


If not a dupe, then I suppose it'll most likely turn out to be a wontfix. You'll
have to use ctrl to use history. In any case, you can always just modify your
own preferences to allow history when using shift.
