Chrome behaves like this: 1. When user starts autoscroll with a middle click, `mousedown` and `mouseup` are fired, but `auxclick` nor `paste` event is not fired. 2. When user ends autoscroll with a left click, only `mouseup` event is fired. I.e, `mousedown` nor `click` event is not fired. 3. When user ends autoscroll with a middle click, only `mouseup` event is fired. I.e., `mousedown`, `auxclick` nor `paste` events is not fired. 4. When user ends autoscroll with a right click, `mouseup` and `contextmenu` events are fired, but `mousedown` and `auxclick` events are not fired. This patch emulates these Chrome's behavior as far as possible. However, unfortunately, we cannot do exactly same behavior without some big patches because each widget (`nsWindow` or `nsChildView`) discards a mouse event which rolled up a widget before dispatching it into the DOM. Therefore, for now, this patch does not fix the following issues: 1. `mousedown` event is not fired in content when clicking outside the autoscroller to close it except when pressing the secondary button or on any buttons on Linux. 2. `mouseup` event is not fired in content when clicking outside the autoscroller to close it except when pressing the primary button macOS. 3. `click` event and `auxclick` events are fired when clicking outside the autoscroller with the secondary button. So, the middle button `click`/`auxclick` events and `paste` event which is reported to the bug won't be fired with this patch. I'll file follow up bugs.
