98940 - Horizontal mousewheel doesn't work

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 58589

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Luca Olivetti]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; it-IT; rv:0.9.3+) Gecko/20010904
BuildID:    2001090408

As the vertical mousewheel scrolls the document up/down, I'd expect the
horizontal mousewheel to scroll it sideways. Instead it does funny things (such
as selecting the word near the cursor or clicking a link).
The wheel seems to be configured correctly (i.e. I have the relevant 'Option
"ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"' in XF86Config, and it works with programs controlled
by imwheel).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Verify that X is configured for an horizontal wheel (i.e. 'Option
"ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"' in the mouse section of your XF86Config file)
1a. Verify that the horizontal wheel is working with other applications (e.g.
controlled by imwheel)
2.Open a page with mozilla
3.Resize the window so that is necessary to scroll sideways to see the rest of
the page
4.Use the horizontal wheel to scroll the page sideways

Actual Results:  Words near the cursor are selected (or clicked if they are links)

Expected Results:  Horizontal scrolling of the page
