Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Hello,

Firefox 3.0.1, Firefox 9.0.1. Windows.

I encounter a bug in Firefox.

In Firefox, I create a new window and I go to http://gwt.google.com/samples/Showcase/Showcase.html?locale=en_GB#!CwDialogBox . I make the window small. I click on “Show Dialog Box”. The panel appears in the page.

Now, scrolling and resizing are partially broken. This control belongs to the user. Firefox must not let the Web page steal any bit of this control from the user. I find it completely crazy that the Web browser allows the Web page to steal so much control from the user. As a user, I feel my dear mouse has been hijacked. And GWT (Google Web Toolkit) does not manage to achieve his evil goal fully, so the result is a completely inconsistent mess.

1. Clicking one of the scroll arrows : scrolling works, but the scroll arrow does not appear pressed when clicked — which is wrong. Normally, clicking a scroll arrow makes it look pushed.
2. Clicking in an empty part of the scroll bar : scrolling works.
3. Moving the lift in the scroll bar : scrolling is broken.
4. Dragging the resize handle in the bottom left corner : resizing works in Firefox 3.0.1, but resizing is broken in Firefox 9.0.1.
5. But dragging the extremity of the bottom left corner : resizing works. Subtle !
6. Dragging one of the four edges of the window : resizing works.

I expect scrolling and resizing to work in all of these cases.

Thank you for correcting that.

Please test with Firefox 11

Does the issue still occur if you start Firefox in Safe Mode? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode

In Firefox 28 on Win 7, this is better, but I reproduce the problem 1.
