161436 - Trackpoint scrolling function not working

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 20618

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[u62377]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.77 [en] (Windows NT 5.0; U)
BuildID:    2002072104

I have an IBM keyboard with a trackpoint. The middle button is
configured to do scrolling (i.e., holding the middle button and
pushing the trackpoint causes scrolling in the window/pane on
which the cursor stands).

The scrolling function works in virtually all programs, but it
doesn't not work at all in Mozilla (or even Netscape 6, for that
matter). Holding the middle button and pushing the tracking causes
nothing to happen: the page doesn't scroll.

(Interestingly, it works just fine in Netscape 4.x.)


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to any page that's larger than the Mozilla window
   (resize the Mozilla window, if necessary).
2. Hold the middle button and push the trackpoint in any direction.


Actual Results:  The page won't scroll.

Expected Results:  The page should have scrolled.

There maybe be some help in bug#20618 -- I think there are some workarounds in
there.

This may be a dupe.

It will possible work if you update your mouse-drivers: see
