I wasn't sure if this should be added as a comment to that bug or separately. My apologies if I've done it incorrectly. Crate and Barrel uses DHTML to control some navigation menus on their site. This causes vertical scrolling to be very slow. The scrolling returns to normal once you disable Javascript. Scrolling up or down by a single line with the keyboard works properly, but once you use the mouse wheel to scroll multiple lines at a time, it gets slow. It should be noted that IE on my Win2000 box, and konqueror on my Linux box both scroll slowly as well, but still faster than Mozilla. I tried stepping through some of the code to get a more specific test case, but I'm no Javascript expert, and I didn't get very far. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to URL with Javascript enabled 2. Scoll up and down with the mouse wheel 3. Disable Javascript, try scrolling again Actual Results: Slow scrolling when Javascript is enabled Expected Results: There should be no delay when scrolling up/down the page
I'm seeing some of this with mozilla trunk on OS X (but not Camino - different widgets). Using the scroller via the mouse there is some delay for the scrolling to "take"/start like the scrollbar has been fixed in place, but once it starts moving its ok.

Ever confirmed: true
Verified Moz 2003032808/WXP SP1 Note that scrolling with the mousewheel is always fast, but dragging the scrollbar thumb manually is extremely slow.

Hmmm... I visited the Crate & Barrel site again today, and scrolling is just as fast as can be. I'm using the same Mozilla build, so I wonder if they've changed their code? Can someone else verify that scrolling has sped up considerably?
trunk build 2003041508 on winxp pro, scrolling is fine. marking wfme ?
Agree. Moz 20030414
