From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; N; Win95; en-US; m14)
BuildID:    2000032108

I'm using the Kensington Expert Mouse, with the MouseWorks 5.30 software.  If I
set one of the keys to 'Scroll while moving the mouse', I can scroll in other
applications, but it doesn't appear to function in Mozilla.  Normally, it comes
up with a new icon (with essentially a circle and two arrows pointing up/down)
and you move the trackball up or down and the page scrolls.  It isn't working
that way in Mozilla.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Map a button to 'scroll while moving the mouse' in MouseWorks	
2.Click that button in Mozilla
3.Move the mouse
	


Actual Results:  Nothing.  The page didn't scroll.	

Expected Results:  The page should have scrolled.

This sounds similar to (in fact it's probably exactly the same as) what you get
on a Logitech/Microsoft mouse when you press the wheel button down. 
Unfortunately,

- The wheel button is also the middle button, and it has other functionality in
Mozilla (pasting on Unix for sure).

- Since we can't use the native functionality for this, it would have to be
reimplemented.  This would be a nontrivial task, and not all that much gained.

So, basically, if someone else wants to implement this functionality, that would
be great, but I don't think I will have time to do it.  Marking WONTFIX.
