When I was open  Bookmarks Sidebar, wheel scroll works on web page.
But I close the Bookmarks Sidebar, wheel scroll does not work again.

In an interesting thing,
When I was open  Bookmarks Sidebar, wheel scroll works on web page. 
Blur main window, and focus window again, wheel scroll does not works on web page though I open a sidebar.

Is this a very new regression? Perhaps because of Bug 512235.

Comment 6

[Masayuki Nakano [:masayuki] (he/him)(JST, +0900)]

Ah, probably, you set mousewheel.acceleration.factor to 0, right?

Do you use KatMouse (or some other software that modify the mouse behavior globally)? I use it and the mouse wheel doesn't work any more when it's running. I've added an exception and now it is working fine.

No, I do not touch any preferences and about:config.
Minefield start with new profile.
For your information,  mousewheel.acceleration.factor is 10 (default)

No.

I think Bug 512235 should be backed out, if the fix for this isn't trivial and
done very soon.

Comment 12

[Masayuki Nakano [:masayuki] (he/him)(JST, +0900)]

looks like that this is a regression of bug 507222.

The chekedin of Bug 512235 is not within the regression range.

Bug 507222 is the obvious candidate.  I won't be able to fire up a VM with Windows XP for several hours, so if necessary I would suggest backing it out.

Comment 15

[Kyle Huey (Exited; not receiving bugmail, old account, do not use)]

Can anyone else reproduce this on XP?

Comment 16

[Masayuki Nakano [:masayuki] (he/him)(JST, +0900)]

I cannot reproduced on XP on VMWare. I think that the cause is the mouse driver's behavior. Alice, what do you use?

Standard Mouse

I used Windows XPpro SP3 Japanese edition.
Device manager said "HDI 準拠マウス"



OK,
I installed Windows XP on the other HDD of the same PC(same mouse) from Windows CD and applied SP3 and Microsoft Update.

Wheel scroll works properly NOW!

So, I think that the system file and registry of my Windows may have been corrupted to lose compatibility.
It is difficult to identify which system file and registry is incompatible with Minefield.

[Alice0775 White]

So, If NOBODY reproduce the issue,
you may change status in WORKSFORME.

Comment 19

[Kyle Huey (Exited; not receiving bugmail, old account, do not use)]

=> WFM per comment 18.

Please reopen if anyone else can reproduce.

どこでもホイール(DokoWheel)v3.7 for Windows 98, ME,NT4.0, 2000,XP (http://www2k.biglobe.ne.jp/~araken/qdoko.htm )breaks wheel scroll on Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.3a1pre) Gecko/20090925 Minefield/3.7a1pre ID:20090925042642.

"DokoWheel" is  a mouse utility.
This enables scroll by the turn of the wheel in an application non-for IntelliMouse.

The problem dissolves by setting Minefield in an exception.

Comment 21

Using KatMouse.

FF3.5 worked with KatMouse enabled.
For FF3.6, an exception must be added to KatMouse in order to ignore FF.

Thanks to Sylvain Pasche for the suggestion.
