304706 - Selecting marquees results in odd behaviour

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[James]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6

When selecting a scrolling marquee in Firefox, regardless of length or style,
once you get to the end of the string, you are snapped to the top of the page
and everything from that point upwards is highlighted.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Find a scrolling marquee on a webpage somewhere
2. Highlight it at the beginning/middle of the string, and drag to the end.

Actual Results:  
I was snapped to the top of the page as I predicted.

Note that I have had other people try this, it happens on OSX, Win2k Pro SP4, XP
Home SP1/2, and XP Pro. 

Expected Results:  
It should select the marquee as it would any other text. 

This happens regardless of theme, though I am currently using Littlefox 1.0.9.

Confirmed, installed the latest Deer Park build from the link provided and the
bug no longer appears.
