488471 - Vertical Down scroll arrow doesn't work when there is NO horizontal Scroll bar.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 56488

(Firefox :: General, defect)

When the browser window is open wide enough so that there is no horizontal scroll bar, the lower right hand scroll arrow won't work because it is overlapped by the striped triangle that allows the user to expand/contract the browser window. When there is a horizontal bar, the striped triangle is moved into its own area, thus allowing access to the lower right scroll arrow.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open most any Web page to as wide as it will allow. (occurs on this page).
2. Attempt to scroll down using the down arrow. It will not work
3. Shrink the width of the page using the lower right striped triangle until you see a horizontal scroll bar.
4. Now try to scroll down using the lower right scroll triangle. It works!
Actual Results:  
When fully stretched out and without a horizontal scroll bar, the lower dark scroll triangle will not work.

Expected Results:  
The area of the lower right striped triangle should keep its designated area so that the user can scroll down the page using the dark down triangle. 

There is no page info on the bottom of the page. Maybe this would fix the problem, but I like the room when on my little laptop. I was using the default theme.

The lower striped triangle area, seems to reside at a higher index, or over top the scroll when there is no horizontal scroll across the bottom of the browser window, thus not allowing access to the dark down scroll triangle.

This will be fixed in Firefox 3.5 (assuming you have hidden the statusbar).
