Bug 181002 – overflow:scroll is scrollable when the mouse is over the border, unlike other browsers

• Status: NEW
• Component: WebKit Misc.

[Simon Fraser (smfr)]

When the mouse is over the border of an overflow:scroll, the content is scrollable. This seems wrong and doesn't match other browsers, or iframes.

This quick hack provides the correct behavior for the test case:

+        boundsRect.moveBy(adjustedLocation);
         if (visibleToHitTesting() && locationInContainer.intersects(boundsRect)) {

However, I'm not sure that's what we want. Do you have any suggestion?

Does that affect click behavior as well?

I suspect it does, that's my doubt. My idea was to pass some specific info via the HitAction param in the case of overflow scrolling, so we can distinguish that case. Anyway, I just wanted to check if you already thought about something, I'll try and debug more after I have a patch for review in bug 173833.
