Fast Scrolling Of Selected Text In Thunderbird 3.0-2.1.beta2

[Robert L Cochran <cochranb speakeasy net>]

I notice that when I reply to emails in Thunderbird on Fedora 11, and 
write more than a screenful of text, and then attempt to select a block 
of text, the scrolling speed can be uncontrollably fast. I can't stop 
the scrolling at the line that I want. I can't remember if this is also 
true when I compose a new email.

rpm -q thunderbird
thunderbird-3.0-2.1.beta2.fc11.x86_64
