IE8 - Cannot scroll page with mouse wheel with some websites

In some websites, like cnn.com, when I move the mouse pointer all the way to
the right or to the left, the website stop scrolling.

This behavior occurs only in a few websites, and it is easy to reproduce the
problem, go to cnn.com main page, scroll at will, then move the mouve all the
way to the right or to the left and try to scroll.

Is this really a bug or problem with my env? Since I cannot access IE
Connect, I am posting this here.

I am using IE 8.0.6001.18702 on a Windows Vista SP2 Beta Build 6002

Who knows in Vista SP2 Beta?

Does the behavior persist in Compatibility Mode? ...if you start IE8 in No
Add-ons mode? ...if you do a Reset

It works in Compatibility Mode, running with No Addons has the same behavior.

cnn.com needs to update their pages.
