59459 - Problem with Select Area & Mouse Navigation

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 27315

(Core :: Layout: Form Controls, defect, P3)

Description

[Brian Z]

Build ID: 20001107

I'm not sure which component would handle this bug so I'm just putting it in the
general category.

If you click on a select area that is only one line (ex: the OS field on this
bug report form), hold it (don't ever let up), and try to scrool up or down by
moving above or beneath the dropdown list, it will NOT scroll through the list
of options.  If you click on a select area, expand it, let up on the mouse and
click again and then try to scroll, it works fine.  I'd appreciate this minor
nusiance fixed.  Thanks!

I see this on linux trunk build 2000110708.

-> HTML Form Controls, OS -> ALL

Confirming.

This is a dup, I assume the reporter wants auto-scroll to work when the mouse is 
above or below the dropdown of a select control when the mouse button is held 
down

That is correct

This is still an issue in 2001011920.  Nominating Mozilla0.9 since never marked
dupe.  This behavior exists in Netscape 4.x and IE.

That isn't the issue.  The problem is that you can't scroll dropdowns using the 
same mousedown that you used to open them.

This is a dup and not a mozilla 0.9 issue
