306824 - <CTRL><PRESS WHEEL><SCROLL WHEEL> required to change font size

Status: VERIFIED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Hans Deragon]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050720 Fedora/1.0.6-1.1.fc4 Firefox/1.0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050720 Fedora/1.0.6-1.1.fc4 Firefox/1.0.6

On my home computer, fresh FC4 install, I need to press down on the scroll wheel
and then scroll it (always while pressing <CTRL>) to get the font size changed.
 The normal way of doing so is to only scroll the scroll wheel and press <CTRL>
with no need to press down the scroll wheel.

This happens with multiple user accounts.  I cannot find any entry in the
prefs.js that would allow me to revert the behavior to normal.

Reproducible: Always

Works for me (on FC4).

Yes, it works fine on my FC4 machine at work too.  It is only on my home
computer that I need to press down the scroll wheel.  However, I hope that
someone could shed the light about this strange behavior on my home computer.

Sounds like a problem with your home computer's mouse. If it's isolated to your
home computer, I'd say this bug report is invalid.

If I change the mouse and the problem still persists, will you then believe that
the problem lies within Firefox?  I doubt that the problem is with the mouse,
since I have no other odd behavior with my mouse when running any other application.

I will test with a different mouse and will report.

User never got back about this. Was likely a problem with the xorg.conf mouse section.

Mmm...  The problem still persists, but I must admit that it only happens with FC4.  With any other distribution/version I have installed since, (Ubuntu 7.04, SLED10, FC5, etc...), the problem did not appear.

Since FC4 is old and obsolete, I agree that this bug be marked closed.
