toolkit and/or app. i know of no toolkit that does this by DEFAULT, so i'm
assuming firefox is doing it all itself. it is possible to run some tool that
grabs mouse wheel button events on all windows then "fakes" key events (eg
up/down arrow) to scroll. i know firefox does this middle mouse drag to scroll
thing (i find it incredibly annoying). alt+middle mouse is a button combo
grabbed by the window manager on the frame window of borders. i can only guess
u are running some utility that button-grabs this on a higher parent window - ie
root, and thus intercepts alt_middle press for all windows as a result. it
isn't e that's doing it. e only will do this on the frame windows and handle
root separately and directly without grabs.
