It's kind of cool, but . . . Lots of tabs open, push middle mouse button and turn on auto scroll. Then, switch to another tab, or even to another application. At this point, I would think that the auto scroll feature should be deactivated. But if I click on the tab in which I turned on the auto scroll feature, lo and behold, it's there and functional! Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open a couple of tabs, one with more content than fits in one screenfull 2. Turn on auto scroll feature in overflowing-content tab 3. Switch tabs or switch applications. Then switch back to the overflowing-content tab by and indirect means: Alt+Tab or clicking on the tab (not the body of the tab). 4. Watch as the scrolling functionality is still there! Actual Results: 5a. Look in amazement and play and be happy because you've found a feature 5b. or be happy that you've discovered a bug that really doesn't matter. Expected Results: Not sure. But it seemed "unexpected."
