Go to the URL above, and drag scroll from any point down. If you drag over an image, the page scrolls down about a page. Very wierd and I haven't seen it anywhere else. Linux 2000-09-28-08 M18
asking blake to please test this and see if he can reproduce on linux
Whiteboard: [awaiting info]
unable to reproduce this with Mozilla trunk build 200010036 on redhat6.2 I tried scroll selecting in both directions with no page skipping or jumping. Page selected and scrolled as expected.
I can still reproduce this on Linux 2000-10-03-06. Go to the URL, grab the cursor right around where is says "Jay" in bold type, and drag the selection past the "yes/no" images. The page jumps down about one page. Scroll up past another set of "yes/no" images and the page jumps all the way down to the bottom.
This won't get fixed for RTM, so Future. We'll address this in a future release.

sfraser, I know it's been many moons since your comment, but when you made it did anyone actually have any insight into the bug? If I can get one tiny grain of an idea, I can spend some time to make a patch for this. I've been poking around in the selection code a lot lately.
I'm sorry, I don't have any insights here. mjudge or anthonyd would be the ones.
changing selection qa to tpreston.

I just realized that I submitted a duplicate bug to this. However, I'm encountering the problem in Release Candidate 1 under Windows XP. I'm not sure of the protocol as this is my first bug. Should I mark mine as a duplicate of this bug or should I just leave it as is since it is on a different OS?

Attached file testcase —
This is a test case for this bug. Open the html file with Mozilla and follow the included instructions. I ran into this bug in RC1 for WinXP.
Bug 59366 seems to be similar (or identical) to this bug.

The testcase and amazon.com website now work as expected on the following UA: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7b) Gecko/20040317 Firefox/0.8.0+ Was this fixed inadvertently at some point? Maybe it needs to be marked as WFM if people can confirm that it works. I'm reassigning this to the default owner/QA (since both are formerly-netscape.com.tld).

Amazon and IMDb works now, but I can still see the bug at tomshardware.com. Go to http://www20.tomshardware.com/graphic/20040414/index.html and make sure that the page contains an ad in the middle of the article. (Reload until the ad appears.) Then start a drag select from the first paragraph in the article and move the mouse down. Once you reach the ad, the page will jump. (For some reason, the article pictures will not trigger the bug, so you will not be able to reproduce the bug without an embedded ad.) Reopen bug?
Since it's another problem, please file a new bug. It would be most helpful if you can attach a reduced testcase to the new bug.
OK, reduced testcase submitted as bug 240964
