[Bug 577634] [NEW] When looking at the list of open tabs, the list scrolles w/out regard to the cursor--clicking on the scrolling list selects a tab--but freezes the program.

[wizodd]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

This happens when I have 50-250 tabs open.

I click on the "list open tabs"
The list pops up, and begins to scroll withou any regard to the direction I am scrolling.

If I move the cursor to the up/down arrows, the scrolling will go the
direction I'm on--until I release the lrft muse button at which time it
goes scrolling off on it's own--usually if not always, towards the top
of the list.

Usually the tab I want is near the end of the list.

If I click on it while it is scrolling, it opens a tab--but freezes the
program.

I expect it to respond to the mouse controls.
It doesn't.
