Scrolling doesnt work

Post by StenlyAR »

My mouse has a scrolling ball. It doesn't work in Mozilla 0.7 firebird(windows), but works in all other applications. Please, help!

What mouse? What specific release of Firebird, from Help\About? What theme is in use?

Does that mouse have its own software? If so, perhaps you need to make a change there. (I'm only guessing, as I'm not familiar with that mouse, but do know that Logitech's software can make a difference in how its mice work with Mozilla applications.)

yes, it has its software and it's installed...that driver can only change number of lines for scrolling and it's possible to disable it in some applications.

Last guess: A quick search for "Scrolling" indicates that the use of Smooth Scrolling and Auto Scrolling, in Tools, Options, Advanced, might have an effect--although the one thread I read about this was related to later releases than you are using.

Other than that, sorry, I'm done guessing--but you might try a MozillaZine search yourself.
