When I click the wheel on a wheel mouse I would like to scroll by dragging the
mouse. This feature is supported on most major applications and the IDE should
support it as well.

Well it depends on OS type, I have no such OS support in Linux Ubuntu Hardy and I remember I found it quite irritating
on windows, when I accidently clicked on mouse wheel.

Anyway, we just use Swing in this area and it seems Swing doesn't support such functionality, please file enhancement to
JDK/Swing team, thank you.
