PDFs don't allow scrolling in other tabs

For some odd reason, if a PDF is open in a Firefox tab, then other tabs do not scroll using a trackpad scroll mechanism (in this case, a sidebar scroll area). Using the scroll bar on the side of the window, they do scroll. This problem has been persistent since the 3.6 Beta 3 version.

Can confirm that. Problem also still exists under Firefox 4.0 and is not related to the pdf viewer used.
