Is this a bug or a feature? :) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to a website that uses vertical <marquee>, e.g. http://www.jabberpl.org/ 2. Right-click on a link inside the <marquee> and afterwards close the pop-up menu. 3. Scroll your mouse wheel up and down Actual Results: Mozilla scrolls the marquee! (But it's fast enough, so the marquee "jumps"). Expected Results: Do not touch the marquee and scroll the content of the page instead. :) Tested on GNU/Linux. Haven't checked other platforms.

> Is this a bug or a feature? :) Either way. ;)

Does www.jabberpl.org exist? doesn't seem to for me

its because we use an iframe due to performance reasons :) I'd have to add event handlers and preventDefault or something.

To comment #2: JabberPL.org does exist. Sometimes it just has some problems with DNS, but it should be always available at http://jabber.itn.pl/

Um . . . http://www.jabberpl.org/ doesn't have any <marquee> tags . . . .

Jeremy: But it had one when this bug was being submitted. ;)

Yeah, but since it currently doesn't, I can't see what the bug is. Could someone create a testcase?

Here comes the testcase. BTW. I've just noticed that this bug does not appear in Mozilla for Windows, but it does appear in Linux version.

Also seems to occur in OS X

IMO, this is feature, not a bug. In fact, I have at times felt the need to stop a marquee to be able to scroll it or to do a selection. A "pause" item in the context menu would be nice.

I can't scroll the marquee anymore with my mousewheel, using: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8a5) Gecko/20041020 Firefox/0.9.1+ I believe this was fixed by the fix for bug 259615. The marquee code uses a anonymous overflow:hidden div.

Verified with a l10n nightly build of Firefox (aviary branch). Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; pl-PL; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041020 Firefox/1.0

Strange, I tried the testcase again and I can still scroll it. Don't know why it didn't scroll previously. :)

Marek, this is fixed in trunk builds (1.8a), not in branch builds (1.7). You should try a nightly 1.8a build to see that this is fixed (if you then still can see that you can scroll the marquee, then you can reopen the bug).

Now verified with Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8a5) Gecko/20041112. I still wonder why it seemed fixed to me in Firefox. :)
