Some sites choose to completely ignore wheel deltas less than 120. On devices like trackpads where a slow but continuous scrolling gesture tends to result in a series of small, non-cumulative mousewheel events, the old behavior caused these gestures to be completely ignored. Yahoo! Mail was one such site where the small fractional values caused compatibility issues. > What Safari 5's WebKit does is turn one "line" into 4800 (!) units instead of > 40. This could be plausible on a trackpad that scales the wheelDelta based on gesture velocity, although I'd expect a value of 120 for each tick of a conventional wheel mouse. As Peter said, if you have a test case where Safari disagrees with IE on Windows or Chrome on either platform, please file a bug and we'll investigate.
