375197 - Mouse wheel zoom broken on this page

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core :: DOM: UI Events & Focus Handling, defect)

Description

[Ria Klaassen (not reading all bugmail)]

Steps to reproduce:

1. Go to http://www.nu.nl/
2. On this page press and hold Ctrl and scroll with the wheel

Result: scrolls down
Expected result: should enlarge text
Regression: on 20-2-2007

I could reproduce this also on http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewforum.php?f=23 but not on http://www.google.com/

Could not find a dependency in bug 369793 so I assume this is a new bug.

WFM (using linux).
Does windows handle scroll event in some specific way?

Hm, I can explain now why nobody yet discovered this bug: the problem is only present when I use Smoothwheel to scroll which is a globally installed extension here. So I don't know anymore if this is a valid bug or only an annoyance for users of this irreplaceable extension.

Ok, I can confirm that with SmoothWheel the bug is there.
I *guess* the problem is that earlier mousewheel event wasn't visible
to scripts when ctrl key was pressed.
Now mousewheel event is handled like any other event, so content
can access also ctrl+mousewheel event.

So in other words, I'd say this is something to be fixed in the 
extension.

I hope someone will. The extension is also afflicted by bug 300030 and I hope it can be restored. Closing bug per comment 4.
