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... (pun intended)
Uh oh...
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.
How do I debug/resolve this sort of issue?
