Horizontal Scrolling in Firefox on Touch (magic mouse/macbook) with no Scroll bar

Question

This only happens in firefox with a touch gesture device like the magic mouse or a macbook/macbook pro, but on some websites (some I've done and some I haven't) you can scroll horizontally even though there is no horizontal scrollbar, and there shouldn't be a scroll bar, so it's scrolling to stuff not supposed to be on the page.

http://starryeyedmusic.com/events - scroll to the right (that sidebar is positioned off the viewable page so as to not be seen)

I've also had this happen on some other websites, they work fine with normal mice or on chrome or opera with a trackpad or magic mouse.

Answer 1

I did that using middle click and drag to see the example. On my laptop, I just use my horizontal scroll bar.

I expect that this is happening because the page is rendering larger than the space available. However, the CSS involved is specifically disallowing scroll bars, though scrolling still works.

I'm not precisely sure if I call that a bug or a feature.. I've found it nice to be able to scroll sideways on random things that are too large (overfilled iframes without scrollbars, for example).

Also, what is your 'question'?
