I would like to be able to click on scrolling text, and drag to the right or
left of the marquee area to force that text to scroll, at a rate comparable to
what is seen when performing the same mouse motion in the location bar or any
form input.  The marquee's own movement should halt until the mouse button is
released.

I don't have a lot invested in seeing this happen, but I thought it was an idea
worth sharing once.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use marquee tag
2. click and drag to the right


Actual Results:  
continue waiting for text to appear


Expected Results:  
exposed the text that is about to scroll on screen.
Related to bug 161145.
In 1.7 build, it was possible to drag scroll a selection in marquee, but this
has changed when overflow:hidden can't be scrolled anymore.

This is not implemented this way in Safari and Chrome. It can't be really controlled.

This is probably a WONTFIX.
