What was happening was that when I scrolled FF or TB to the bottom with the thumb-wheel, and then scrolled up, one notch - it went into a behaviour that either changed something in another page (instead of scrolling up in the page where the mouse focus is) or opened something else in yet another pane. I think this is not normal behaviour, but I could be wrong. But for now, I do not have this problem after rebooting, so I will not pursue this issue any further, but interestingly - it only happens with FF & TB. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines

It is a Logitech, M110, 2-button, Optical Mouse But like I said, Mozilla (FF/TB) seem to be affected, and nothing else, AFAIK. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines

It seems to be restricted to Mozilla apps, that is, Firefox and Thunderbird. I tried other applications (Nautilus, Python, GTK, Qt)) to see if I get the same thumb-wheel anomalies and I am not.

I guess it is not application specific... in fact, I get this strange behaviour even with other applications that support panes and scrollbars. If using Thunderbird, I notice that when I have an opened email message, moving the mouse over to the "All Folders" pane on the left column, scrolling down to the bottom of the list (has a scrollbar) and keep scrolling fast (even when there is no more to scroll), changes the focus from the "All Folders" pane the opened email message pane sometimes back. It seems as if the mouse driver is getting mixed events somehow.

Well, it is not a static issue, the problem is intermittent. I do get page up/down but if you "flip" the wheel up or down quickly (fast scroll), then the page jumps - it is very annoying. I cannot rely on the as of the last FF or something updated recently that affected the thumb-wheel behaviour. I cannot put my finger on what the problem is...

F13: Firefox 3.6.13 seems flaky with thumb wheel?
I noticed that F13, Firefox v3.6.13 seems to have trouble with the thumb-wheel as it is supposed to scroll the page up or down, but instead, changes to the previous or next page. Does anyone have this problem? -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
