User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en; rv:1.8.1.7pre) Gecko/20070827 Epiphany/2.20 Firefox/2.0.0.4
Build Identifier: 

While dragging a file, the mouse scroll wheel doesn't work on the file list. It makes it hard to drag a file to a folder that's scrolled out of view.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a full folder in compact list view
2. Resize the window so that there's a scrollbar.
3. Check that you can scroll the scrollbar by using the mouse wheel
4. Start dragging a file. Do not drop it yet.
5. Try to scroll again

Actual Results:  
Nothing happens

Expected Results:  
The scrollbar position should change and the view should change with the scrollbar

Thanks for reporting ! I can reproduce the problem.
Due to my time is very limited, patches would be very welcome !

This is likely a limitation in X11 or GTK. However, the view will scroll if you move the mouse to the top or bottom of the list.

Good hint!  Seems to be a gtk limitation. There is already a bug for it:
