The side effect I'm talking about is: middle click on a text area (like that "enter a comment" text area above). It shows the scrolling image, but it also activate the text area (i.e. you can now type in it). Trivial, but still a bug. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
Summary: Middle-clicking on text area/textbox cases a minor glitch → Middle-clicking on textarea/textbox both triggers autoscroll and focuses the textarea/textbox
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b5) Gecko/20051006 Firefox/1.4.1 I suspect this is by design - you have after all clicked in the textbox. You see exactly the same if you right-click.
Yes, but if the autoscroll is triggered, the redular click should not be triggered. Imo.
Okay, I can't find a dupe. I suspect this is wontfix (it is probably by design) but it looks like a perfectly reasonable question. I will make the summary more targetted, and mark new. Not sure about the component, so it will have to stay in general.

(In reply to Joseph Wright from comment #3) > I suspect this is wontfix (it is probably by design) This is not by design (at least not by *current* design), because if I middle-click elements that aren't placed under the autoscroll circle, then click event doesn't fire. The title isn't correct: it doesn't happen when I click outside the autoscroll circle (see bug 1173932)
