Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Martin Reurings]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-GB; rv:1.8.1b1) Gecko/20060710 Firefox/2.0b1

On Mac OS most ctrl+... functions are remapped to meta+.... and all font-related keyboard shortcuts are. However on the new 2.0 beta1 the font-resizing using the mousewheel is still set for mousewheel.withcontrolkey.action instead of mousewheel.withmetakey.action

Observed with fresh install using a newly created clean profile.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Fresh install on OS-X
2.Create new profile using the profile manager
3.Press ctrl and scroll the mousewheel, press metakey and try again.

Actual Results:  
Using the ctrl+mousewheel fonts will resize, using meta+scrollwheel the page scrolls, no font-resizing occurs.

Expected Results:  
ctrl+mousewheel should scroll the page, no further effect expected.
meta+mousewheel should resize the font.

default config preference should be set to:
mousewheel.withcontrolkey.action = 0
mousewheel.withmetakey.action = 3

This is intentonal; see bug 314250 comment 23. This is probably WONTFIX, too.

Mine - and invalid.  See the bug Adam referenced.  I'm sorry we let 1.5 slip out with this bug.  It is a bug as far as I'm concerned (which is why this is invalid and not wontfix).

We don't want command-scroll to do anything special beacuse Mac users browse around with the command key held down.  I think we've probably got more users holding command on the Mac than control on other platforms because the command key is in a position to be held by the thumb, and it's much more natural to hold a key with your thumb than your outside knuckle.
