50286 - Scrolldown should first scroll horizontal then vertical if both scrollbars is present

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Core :: XUL, defect, P3)

Description

[Henrik Gemal]

when you encounter a webpage the enables the horizontal scrollbar (in the buttom 
of the screen) the scroll down on my scrollmouse should also make the scrollbar 
scroll.
Currently it only scroll down/up.

Check out this page with Netscape 4.x and Mozilla and try to scroll on your 
scrollmouse!
In Netscape 4.x the page scrolldown and the right. In Mozilla the page only 
scrolls down.

I'm confused...it's supposed to scroll horizontally and vertically at the same 
time?

Comment 3

[Henrik Gemal]

Not at the same time.
If both the horizontal and and vertical scrollbar appear scrolling down with the 
scrollmouse should *first* scroll the page down horizontal and after hitting the 
bottom of the page the scrolling should continue vertical.

I'm confused too.  How do you scroll "down horizontally"?  How do you continue
scrolling vertically "after hitting the bottom of the page"?

If x is the screen size the the other lines are the "document" size, here's how 
it should scroll:

|- -|
|x  |
|   |
|- -|

|- -|
|   |
|x  |
|- -|

|- -|
|   |
|  x|
|- -|

Hm... I'm not sure I agree that this is the correct way for scrolling to work. 
Hm, I'm not sure I would expect this behavior.  What happens in 4.x is likely a
result of your mouse driver.

Blake, janc, what do you guys think?

I think his bug is invalid, and it sounds like a bug should be filed against 4.x
scrollmouse behavior, or your mouse driver.

I agree, I don't think this is how scrolling should work.
