(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***)

Package:           plugin
Version:           KDE 2.1.0 
Severity:          wishlist
Installed from:    SuSE
Compiler:          gcc version 2.95.2 19991024 (release)
OS:                Linux 2.4.0 i686
OS/Compiler notes: 

If you scroll a web page with your mouse wheel and your mouese is over a text box (such as the one where I type this text :-) ) you scroll the text box. That is nice and good behaviour. Unfortunately it is not so nice when you really want to scroll the page itself. (A more common case IMHO)

My suggestion for improvement:

When you have scrolled to the end of the textbox the mousewheel should start scrolling the web page again. That way you can scroll the webpage and the textbox without having to move the mouse pointer. At the moment I often want to scroll some webpage but beacause my mouse pointer is above a text field the page won't move one bit.

What do you think? Is this hard to implement?
