From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.2.14 ppc; en-US; m15) BuildID: 2000041919 When you drag select some text and the mouse goes off the window (above, below or to the side). If you release the mouse button while the mouse is outside the window Mozilla won't relise this and when you continue to move the mouse around inside the window the selection wwill continue to change even though the mouse button has now been released. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Click the mouse in the middle of the page and drag downwards till the the mouse pointer is off the bottom (continuing to hold the mouse button down). 2.Release the mouse button 3.Move the mouse back up till the pointer is inside the window again 4.Move the mouse around Actual Results: The selection continues to adjust to the mouse pointer position, even though the mouse button is not down Expected Results: The selection should stop adjusting when the mouse button is released marking this as "Major" cause I think selection scrolling is broken pretty badly :)

See also #36792 and #31102 for related bugs (I found this while testing them)

Hmm...could this be a duplicate of 29300? (Or is 36382 a duplicate of this?) Will check. Thanks for the great steps to reproduce!

Hmm...Can't reproduce this on today's Win32 Linux build.

I'm not sure...it could be fixed again. I'll try and check with a later build when I can get one.

tested buildid 2000030708. whaddya know it looks fixed :). These developers must be unbelievably good. Fixing bugs before I can submit them...wish I could code that fast. As clarification, I *think* that this bug and bug 36382 are dups of bug 29300 (I did not see 29300 before I submitted this one although I have been doing a bunch of bugzilla queries on the subject of scrolling recently). On the other hand it is my feeling that selection/drag scrolling has been exhibiting this bug and others in an on-and-off fashion (ie. fixed in this build broken in another) so I'm not sure what is the best thing to do in this situation. Do you open a new bug or reopen the old one? (my privs don't allow me to change settings on someone elses bug I think). Have a look at bug 36868 for evidence of this, a meta bug I had the temerity to introduce for these sorts of problems.

Pav -- I think this is also related to 37338, again you need to determine if it is from the same code area.

this seems to be a dup of 37338, but if after i check in the fix for it, things are still broken, it should be reopened and reassigned to mjudge *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 37338 ***

Verified duplicate.
