Infinite hourglass when dragging an internal vertical scroll bar

2011-08-24 Thread Dave Higton
I've just raised bug report 3397644. On the BBC News and ROOL web sites, some pages had an internal vertical scroll bar. In each case, when I dragged the bar, NS put up an hourglass that didn't go away in any reasonable time. I had to stop NS with Alt-Break. r12663, Iyonix, 512 MiB. Dave

Log file versus security requirements
