30791 - Wheel mouse breaks when using select element

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Core :: Layout: Form Controls, defect, P3)

Description

[Cult Hero]

This is just really minor stuff and I think it is almost safe to assume that it
has already been covered by someone.

Text Alignment:

Justify doesn't work at all. Not with a standard <p align=justify> or through
style sheets.

Description Text:

The <dd> tag requires an </dd> tag. Netscape and IE both have their parser autu
end the tag after a line break.

Wheel Mouse:

I just noticed this on this page that I am posting from. Once you select a drop
down box you cannot get the wheel to respond to anything else on the page.

That's it.

Thanks for taking the time to report these issues.  In the future, please, only
one bug per bug report.  See http://www.mozilla.org/bugs/ for the bug writing
guidelines.

Justification of text is bug 588.

DD stuff may be a dup of bug 5119 or of bug 22657.  It's hard to tell: you need
to provide a testcase and say how you think it should be layed out, or how
Mozilla handles the HTML differently than NS 4.x. Please take a look at the two
bugs and file a separate bug with testcases if your issue is not covered in
either.

For the mouse wheel issue: do you mean "while the drop-down is active" the wheel
doesn't work, or while and after?  I'll reassign this to bryner.  Please clarify
what goes wrong with the wheel mouse by adding a comment to this bug report. 
We'll also need to know what build of Mozilla and what mouse you're using.

That's not an XPToolkit widget. changing component to HTML Form Controls,
reassigning.

I would guess that the reported wheelmouse issue is related to dropdown boxes
using native scrollbars -- or did this dropdown not have enough elements to
scroll?

Drop my comment about DD... I picked up a never version and my problem was gone.

The wheel mouse issue... I am using a logitech firstmouse+ with the mouseware 
9.0 drivers in Windows2000. When I went to submit my intital bug report in the 
<select> box that gave me my choice of operating systems the wheel would scroll 
through it. However no matter where I clicked or what I did the wheel would not 
scroll through the page as a whole but rather only the select OS box.

Yes, that almost definitely sounds like the native scrollbar issue.  I believe
the target fix for that is M15.

[e-mail] - are you still seeing the mousewheel part of this issue 
in recent builds of Mozilla?

Since the bug reporter has not responded to your question, I would say go ahead
and close it out.  I'll iron out any remaining mousewheel issues with selects
when gfx select boxes are turned on.
