Details

From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 5.0) BuildID: 2002053012 Thinkpads have a trackpoint (eraser head) pointing device. In addition to the left and right clicker buttons, there is also a blue button beneath them that when you hold it down, allows you to scroll in any program by then moving the trackpoint. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to any webpage. 2. Click and hold the scroll button 3. Move the trackpoint (erasor head) Actual Results: Cursor on screen stops moving in response to trackpoint (only while scroll button is depressed) (this is what should happen). But, webpages will not scroll in response to trackpoint movement when scroll button is depressed. (they should) Expected Results: what happens in internet explorar for instance: When scroll button is depressed cursor stops moving, and instead the webpage scrolls up and down in response to trackpoint input. Note: cursor moves again once scroll button is released. I am still able to scroll webpages by using the scroll bar at the right of the screen. Exact same problem occurs in Mozilla 1.1alpha
