384097 - Middle mouse click scrolling (autoscroll) does not have the correct behavior

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Widget: Cocoa, defect)

Description

[Alex Faaborg [:faaborg] (Firefox UX)]

If you middle click and hold while moving the mouse, the scroll occurs on up-click, instead of occurring in real time with mouse movement.

Also, Minefield does not exit this scrolling mode on up-click, you have to down-click again to clear it.

This is a regression from 2.0, right?

Yes.

This regressed between 2006-09-28-08 and 2006-09-29-06 on Mac trunk. http://bonsai.mozilla.org/cvsquery.cgi?treeid=default&module=PhoenixTinderbox&branch=HEAD&branchtype=match&dir=&file=&filetype=match&who=&whotype=match&sortby=Date&hours=2&date=explicit&mindate=2006-09-28+07&maxdate=2006-09-29+07&cvsroot=%2Fcvsroot

I guess turning on Cocoa widgets by default caused this.

I don't think I touched Firefox autoscroll.  Re-cc me if it turns out this is my fault.

I've got this fixed in my (big) patch for several issues with popup
windows in Cocoa widgets, which I hope to post today or tomorrow.  (It
seems to have been caused by there not being a handler for
otherMouseDragged: in widget/src/cocoa/nsChildView.mm's ChildView
class.)

Fixed by patch for bug 387164, which just landed on trunk.
