Description Wilbert Berendsen 2005-10-05 19:56:25 UTC
Version:           3.4.91 (using KDE 3.4.91 (beta1, >= 20050910), Gentoo)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.5-20050130 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.5.20050130-r1, ssp-3.3.5.20050130-1, pie-8.7.7.1)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.11-gentoo-r1

When I select text in a div with fixed size and a scrollbar, the text does not scroll down if I drag the mouse towards the bottom of the div. I can't select all the text.

Example: http://www.sram.com/en/avid/discbrakes/ballbearing7/ballbearing7.php
The stylesheet is at: www.sram.com/_includes/avid/common.css

confirmed for 3.5.2, with firefox it is possible to scroll both with the mouse and with pagedown.

Could you provide a testcase for testing this issue on konqueror 4?

Thanks a lot! :-)

Confirmed in 4.0.3 testcase available here: http://www.mutube.com/x/kde/113907.html

Just click at the top left of the DIV and drag downwards. Compare behaviour with FF (FF scrolls, Konq does not).

bug confirmed even on revision 794403.
Comment 5 Robert Kratky 2009-08-21 18:44:11 UTC
Konqueror 4.3.0, Qt 4.5.2, Debian Sid

The behaviour has changed a bit: when you hold the left button while moving the mouse out of the visible area of the div it actually selects all the text in the div - regardless of how far (or little) beyond the visible area you go. But it doesn't scroll down so you don't know about the whole text being selected until you scroll down using the scrollbar.

Also, when you scroll down without any text being selected and then try select some text while the div is showing an area other than the very top, it appears to select nothing. Yet when you scroll manually to the top you discover that an area of text at the very beginning of the div has been selected that corresponds size-wise to the area you tried to select before when the div was scrolled down. Weird indeed.

Thank you for the bug report.

As this report hasn't seen any changes in 10 years or more, we ask if you can please confirm that the issue still persists.

If this bug is no longer persisting or relevant please change the status to resolved.

Dear user,

KHTML (and KJS) was a long time more or less unmaintained and got removed in KF6.

Please migrate to use a QWebEngine based HTML component.

We will do no further fixes or improvements to the KF5 branches of these components beside important security fixes.

For security issues, please see:

https://kde.org/info/security/

Sorry that we did not fix this issue during the life-time of KHTML.

Greetings
Christoph Cullmann
