I have a new, clean profile - no extensions, no themes. Trackpad scrolling is not working.
Yes. 3.6b1 release. new profile. win 7 thinkpad t500.:)
Is it fixed on the tip of the branch? There was a tweak to the Trackpoint stuff that missed beta but is on the branch now.

Not foxed for me yet, just tried on Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2b2pre) Gecko/20091105 Namoroka/3.6b2pre (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)
Sometime over the next few days I should be able to get access to a T500 running Lenovo's stock Vista image and will see if I can reproduce and find the registry key we need for this.

kyle: do you want me to look for that registry key? what am I looking for?
Yeah I tested it on a T500 with Vista and couldn't reproduce. Can you verify that ui.trackpoint_hack.enabled is set to -1 and then search your registry for "Trackpoint"? From the keys that appear we can figure out what we need to add. See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=514927#c28 and the following few comments.
ui.trackpoint_hack.enabled = -1 no registry entries with 'Trackpoint' in them. Looks like a non-Lenovo install of Windows 7 is to blame, as none of the Software/Lenovo/ paths exist in the registry. (but I am sure you knew that). (T500, Win 7 rc build 7100)
But you have trackpoint drivers installed? That's a little odd.
Weird. I just realized that I cannot scroll in any application, however I can move the mouse cursor and click with the trackpoint. perhaps I am missing a driver? (I use Linux 90% of the time)

(I use Linux 90% of the time) Yeah you're definitely missing a driver then. I'm going to close this, but please reopen it if installing the driver doesn't help. http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-70443.html#Mouse

I was just about to close it. The driver fixed all. Just goes to show how much we all use our browsers:)
