34158 - Scrolling with mousewheel should not stop at TEXTAREA if vertical scrollbar is disabled

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 29244

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

Description

[Blake Ross]

When scrolling with the mousewheel on a page, scrolling annoyingly stops if the 
mouse happens to come over a textarea.   This is unusual behavior; in IE 5.5, 
scrolling will continue unless the TEXTAREA has enough lines in it that the 
vertical scrollbar is enabled, at which point the scrolling will then take 
place only within the TEXTAREA.  If the textarea is empty or its text is less 
than the size of the box (i.e. the vertical scrollbar is not needed to see the 
rest of the text), scrolling of the page continues as usual.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.) Place the mouse in a spot in a site where it will pass over a TEXTAREA that 
is empty or does not have a lot of text in it if scrolling occurs.
2.) Watch the scrolling of the page irritatingly come to a halt.

Actual Result: page scrolling stops
Expected Result: page scrolling continues

On a related side note, if a normal textbox has the focus and you put the mouse 
over it, then try to scroll down with the mousewheel, scrolling will not take 
place.  This is completely unneccessary since textboxes cannot support multiple 
lines anyways, so the mousewheel would never need to be used.
