Title:
Autoscroll in Firefox can freeze these at once: Firefox, keyboard,
mouse, and possibly other things
Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Binary package hint: firefox
Release information:
Description: Ubuntu lucid (development branch)
Release: 10.04 (beta 2)
Package Version:
firefox:
Installed: 3.6.3+nobinonly-0ubuntu3
Candidate: 3.6.3+nobinonly-0ubuntu3
Version table:
*** 3.6.3+nobinonly-0ubuntu3 0
500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/main Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
flash-nonfree is installed; however, the pages which were freezing did
not have Flash applications on them.
What I expected to happen:
Variable-Speed scrolling through a web page, speed depending on the distance
of the cursor from the "mark" that's left after middle-clicking on the page.
What happened instead:
Slow scrolling through a web page; browser frozen; mouse clicking (despite
being able to move the cursor around) and keyboard being unresponsive
throughout the operating system... until the browser reaches the top or the
bottom of the page, depending on which side I was scrolling to.
Comment:
I'm sorry to say that I can't seem to reproduce this bug on purpose; however
it has happened on at least 3 occasions today alone (the day on which I
installed the Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Linx beta 2).
Bug seems to be similar or same to Bug #470671; however, this is a
different version of Ubuntu and Firefox altogether, so I saw fit to
file it despite it.
