            Bug ID: 269830
           Summary: Mouse scroll wheel has side effect on Openbox
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: amd64
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---

This is hard to report but I am going to try.

First, I installed FreeBSD 13.1 and Openbox/LXDE.
Then I installed an external port of the Palemoon browser. By "external" I mean
it is provided by a third-party.

When I scroll the mouse wheel in Palemoon, the browser navigates back and forth
in the tab's history, as if I was clicking "Back" and "Forth."
Actually, it only happens when I scroll up and a bit too fast. First it will go
"back" then it will go "forth."

I thought it could be a problem in the Palemoon port, but then I noticed it
happening in the PCmanFM tabs. Only instead of going back and forth in
navigation history, tabs would be selected (previous/next) when I scrolled up a
bit too fast.

So I thought it was my Openbox configuration, entirely imported from a Linux
installation (although that never happened in Linux). I spent quite some time
editing my Openbox configuration in the attempt to fix the issue, but to no
avail. Since I have other problems with Openbox in FreeBSD (all reported in the
forum, one was denied by multiple users and two have had no reply so far), I
just gave up.

Now here is the kicker.

Then I installed NomadBSD. I know you don't support NomadBSD, but the problem
also happens there in Openbox, with a default configuration (I brought NOTHING
from my Linux configuration to NomadBSD) and on Firefox.

A FreeBSD derivative, a nearly default Openbox configuration (I just changed
themes) and a different browser.

The only common denominators are FreeBSD and Openbox.

I'm not sure anyone will be able to reproduce this, but it is reported.
