Description MH CLA 2013-06-11 08:42:05 EDT 
The mouse left/right buttons (pressing the mouse wheel to left or right) scroll windows content to left/right. This works in internet browser frames (e.g. Firefox). Unfortunately, this doesn't work in Eclipse!

This would be very usefull as source code that is wider than the visible size of the Eclipse source editor frame has to be scrolled by grapping the horizontal scrollbar and move it. It would be easier and faster if the mouse wheel left/right button events would do the same.
