This surely has to be a duplicate but I could not find it..

When the middle mouse button autoscroll feature is invoked over a scrollable content area (text box/form,etc that has scrollbars present), autoscroll scrolls the *page* rather than the scrollable intended target.

Reproducible: Always



Expected Results:  
The contents of the *scrollable box* should be autoscrolled, and the autoscroll icon should indicate *only* the type of scroll available (ex: 2-way horizontal, 2-way vertical, 4 way).

I'll attach a testcase html file.
See Internet Explorer for proper (and expected) implementation.
