Build Date & Platform Bug Found: 
 macos commercial seamonkey build 00051211-m16 installed on G3/400, MacOS 9.04

Overview Description: 
 I replaced the mouse that came with my G3/400 with a USB Coutour Unimouse model 
UU-G4G. I installed the contour overdriver from their web site, v1.31 and found 
that the autoscroll does not work. By default, the middle button is configured 
for autoscroll.  When I try to use it, it puts up a no drag warning icon as the 
mouse.

I have downloaded their latest release, v1.35, but the problem still remains. 
This problem occurs under the navigator and messenger that I tried so far.

Steps to Reproduce: 
0) Connect the contour mouse to your usb port on your keyboard
1) Install the latest contour mouse drivers from their web site
2) Start seamonkey
3) Go to any url
   I went to http://www.netscape.com
4) Use the middle mouse button and try to scroll
   It fails to scroll.  Your mouse turns into a no drag system.
   
Actual Results: 
 Nothing happens with you try to use the scroll button on your mouse. Your mouse 
turns into a warning icon.

Expected Results: 
 It should scroll through in the direction you move your mouse.

Additional Builds and Platforms Tested On: 
 Problem also occurs on today macos commercial respin build 2000-051611-m16 

Additional Information:
 This feature works ok in Communicator 4.72.  
 I also try installing the recommended Apple GameSprockets v 1.74 but it did not 
help.

We don't currently support mousewheel scrolling on MacOS at all.  Marking as dup 
of 7347.
