Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 20618

(Core :: XUL, defect, P4)

Description

Build Date & Platform Bug Found: 
 win32 commercial seamonkey build 00051210-m16 installed on Dell P500, Win981

Overview Description: 
 I have a Kinsington PC trackball (v5.0 that has 4 buttons) that I'm using with 
Win98. I installed the Kinsington MouseWork drivers to enable the scrolling and 
found that the scrolling feature does not work.  You are allowed to configure 
buttons to scroll up, scroll down, autoscroll, or scroll when you your move the 
mouse. In Seamonkey, I can click on a scroll bar to select it and change the 
mouse icon to an arrow icon.  It's suppose to scroll when clicking on the 
mouse button or moving the track ball; instead nothing appears to happen.

I tried installing verison 5.30 and 5.40 from the kensington web site.  I am 
able to use their drivers to scroll in Communicator 4.72 and windows so I 
believe it's an compatiblity issue.

Steps to Reproduce: 
0) Install and configure a Kensington PC trackball to your PC to using one/more 
of the scrolling features
1) Launch seamonkey
2) In the browser, go to any web page
    e.g. http://netcenter.com
3) Use the left lower mouse button (by default configured as single click)
4) An large navigational arrow appears
5) Try to move in a up or down direction
   Nothing happens


Actual Results: 
 The arrow remains in place but nothing appears to happen when moving the track 
ball up/down or using the configured button to scroll up/down.

Expected Results: 
 You should be able to configure the buttons/mouse movements to scroll for you.

Additional Information:
 The same behavior occurs under Messenger.
