764145 - Pixel scrolling doesn't work properly in the tab bar (too fast)

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1263975

(Firefox :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[Jeff Muizelaar [:jrmuizel]]

Scrolling the tab bar on a mac book pro goes much faster than you'd expect. You should be able to move it pixel by pixel like you can scrolling a page. Instead, it goes in large jumps.

Sorry, but what does this mean?

You can scroll the tab bar left and right with a touch pad.

Now I get it.  The tab bar can be scrolled if you have more tabs than will fit.

Is this a recent problem?  Or has it always been this way.

Is it worse/better on other platforms (like Windows and Linux)?

I believe it's always been this way.

I'd expect it's no better on other platforms.

Which implies this isn't a Cocoa widgets bug.
