Mouse wheel scrolling doesn't work at all when the mouse cursor is over certain areas of the page - in the example page, it's the background.
On this page, the background is created as <IMG>, with low "z-index" and a "position:fixed", which may be relevant:

#background-image {
    width:100%;
    z-index: 0;
    position:fixed;
    top:0;
    left:0;
}



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. visit the site
2. move mouse to lower left corner (NOT over menu box)
3. try to scroll with the mouse wheel

Actual Results:  
as described

Expected Results:

Does this happen in Firefox2, too?

Same problem with Firefox2.0. Works fine on Trunk (Camino and Minefield).
This was possibly fixed on trunk by bug 317375, which also solved a number of z-index issues.

Firefox 2.0 Windows fails like Fx 2.0 Mac

This was fixed on trunk by the checkin for bug 258006.
Dupe ? not sure which flag to use...

Yeah, if the cause is a Core bug that was fixed on the trunk, dupe this to the fixed Core bug.
