Logitech mouse wheel mice come with mouse man 8 which has a program running in
ram all the time called em_exec
It allows you to use the mouse wheel in programs which don't support it.  It
somehow looks for the closest scrollbar and scrolls that frame.

When the driver is running, all programs scroll execept for mozilla.  When I
ctrl-alt-del and end task, the mouse wheel starts working in moz.

I'd like you to try this out:

Go into Registry Editor, and navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Logitech\MouseWare\CurrentVersion\Technical

Change the MouseHookDLLEnable key from 1 to 0, and restart.  Let me know if this
fixes the problem in mozilla, and also if it causes problems with other apps.
I would do that except MouseHookDLLEnable doesn't exist in that section of the
registry.  There is nothing with the word Hook, DLL, Enable, or Mouse, under
technical.
Try creating the key then (String type).
I created the string (Its set to 0).  Still no mouse wheel support in mozilla.
What exact version of the MouseMan software are you running?
Control Center version: 8.01
Mouse driver version 8.32
Its a first mouse plus (not oem) if that helps any.

Buttons
1 is set to click/select
2 scrollbar (Horizontal) - doesn't work with mozilla but thats expected.
3 context menu/alt. select
I'm having this problem as well. Control Center version 7.50, driver version
8.20. The mouse wheel used to work with em_exec running with M11, but in M12
nighly builds from early December (currently 1999120608), it stopped.
fornixon@globalserve.net:

Could you try changing your gfx scrollbars setting (Preferences/Debug), and see
if that has any effect on the mousewheel operation?  Thanks.
bryner@uiuc.edu:

That worked.... unchecking gfx scrollbars and restarting mozilla allows the
mousewheel to work while em_exec is running.
OK, I don't know how this makes sense, but the wheel mouse doesn't work at
www.wired.com with em_exec running, whether gfx scrollbars is checked or not. It
does work, however, with em_exec closed. The wheel does work at every other
website I've visited, though.
It's likely related to a page element such as a frame or select box that is
capable of scrolling itself.  The driver could be getting confused as to what to
scroll.  We really need to get this working with gfx scrollbars on, because that
will be the default.

Logitech has described a workaround that may work, here:
ftp://ftp.logitech.com/pub/TechSupport/MOUSE/Game_Whl.TXT
With the system scrollbars it has always worked and still does.
Okay I upgraded the logitech drivers to 8.6 and the DllHook reg entry is set to
1.  Now the mouse wheel support works, IF there are no system scrollbars in the
window and IF I click on the html window first.

Is there any way to get it to scroll if the mouse is hovering over the window?
(The new WebWheel doesn't work in mozilla.  You might want to contact Logitech
about that.)
As far as I know, there is only one component left that uses system scrollbars
if gfx scrollbars are on, and that is select boxes.  That should be fixed
relatively soon.

As for having to click in the window first, I noticed that as well when I was
working on the mousewheel support.  saari@netscape.com says that this is a focus
bug and should be fixed before release.
I added this workaround to the release notes.  I'm not sure there's anything
else I can do with this bug.  Unless anyone has a suggestion for how to proceed
on this, I'll probably go ahead and mark it fixed, since we have a confirmed
workaround.
Allow me to unconfirm that workaround..  I'm using the Logitech Cordless Wheel
Mouse, control center 8.62.192, driver 8.61, and there is no "Technical" key
under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Logitech\MouseWare\CurrentVersion.  I have
Control Center, Global, and Setup.  Since the workaround is to set the value to
zero, I'll assume that not having the key has the same effect.. (I'll go verify
just to be sure, tho)...  yet the mouse wheel doesn't work (under NT4SP5) with
EM_EXEC running.  In fact, now that I try it, it doesn't work with EM_EXEC not
running.  It DOES work with EM_EXEC running and system scrollbars instead of
gfx.  Should that be a different (new) bug?
I belive the default is 1, so please go ahead and try making the Technical key
and creating the DllHook value (set to 0) under that.  I'll go ahead and keep
this under this bug for now.  Also, make sure you're not running into one of the
other known issues, namely:

- scrolling on pages that have form select boxes doesn't work right
- you have to click the page area before scrolling

Thanks.
I created the entry; no difference.  The wheel doesn't work with gfx
scrollbars, whether EM_EXEC is running or not.  I'm testing on www.aol.com,
which has no form select boxes.  I wonder if that registry value exists only
under Win98, which might explain why the Technical key didn't exist for me (on
NT4).
I upgraded the Logitech mouse driver, created and set the hook registry to 1.
The mouse wheel started to work in Mozilla.  But it stopped working in other
programs.
I set the Hook to 0 and it still works in mozilla, but now it also works in
those other programs.
So to me it looks like it doesn't effect mozilla at all (Win98)
fornixon@globalserve.net is now the-enigman@home.com. Replacing old CC with new
one.
With Windows 98, the M12 build, and the latest logitech drivers (8.61), it works
without any registry editting on normal pages. On bages with form boxes with
scroll bars (eg http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/query.cgi) it works correctly when
the cursor is directly over the main scroll bar itself (it moves a box instead
otherwise).
Marking M15.

Rod- any luck with that sample code I sent you awhile back?  Do you think it
could help out with this?

Downloaded the newest drivers, using M13, and it works.

Anyone still having this?

*** Bug 25293 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
I'm still getting this problem. Downloaded and installed the latest drivers as 
of yesterday. I can't get the mousewheel to work with or without em_exec running 
nor with or without gfx scrollbars on.
Retested with the following setup and restarting Mozilla between each test:
Build ID: 2000021108
Control Center Version: 8.62.192
Mouse Driver Version: 8.61
(Mouse is the cordless wheel mouse that comes with the iTouch Cordless Desktop)

Results:
GFX Scrollbars ON, EM_EXEC RUNNING:      No scrolling
GFX Scrollbars OFF, EM_EXEC RUNNING:     Scroll works as expected (no clicking 
in document area required)
GFX Scrollbars OFF, EM_EXEC NOT RUNNING: No scrolling
GFX Scrollbars ON, EM_EXEC NOT RUNNING:  No scrolling

Expected Results:
GFX Scrollbars ON, EM_EXEC RUNNING:      Scroll works normally (no clicking in 
document area required)
GFX Scrollbars OFF, EM_EXEC RUNNING:     Scroll works normally (no clicking in 
document area required)
GFX Scrollbars OFF, EM_EXEC NOT RUNNING: No scrolling
GFX Scrollbars ON, EM_EXEC NOT RUNNING:  Scroll works normally?

With each test I clicked in the document area, clicked on the scrollbar, hovered 
the mouse over the scrollbox etc. Also, enabling 'Use Office97 scroll only' 
meant scrolling didn't work with any combination. So it seems there is still a 
problem when GFX Scrollbars are enabled.
brian@achiew.com:

Just for the sake of completeness, what page were you testing this on?


Tested on and local copy of http://www.mysql.com/Manual/manual_toc.html
Also, OS: Windows 95
Microsoft mice with a wheel don't work either.  Microsoft has a feature that
suts off the em_exec type program for certain programs, but doing this didn't
help.  I have a microsoft intellimouse explorer.

Adding keywords:
4xp - Mousewheel scrolling works on Win32 Netscape 4.x and IE
pp - because this bug is win32-specific
Keywords: 4xp, pp
This bug also counts for the IBM TrackPoint, at least v4.
The TrackPoint scrolling is pretty much a hack as I see it, since it will scroll 
all windows with scrollbars, focus or not. It will even attempt when it can't, 
causing, say, XEmacs to crash if you try to scroll left-right.
Maybe IBM can give some input on this.
I have the same problem with a Digital Research Technologies Wheelmouse


DRMOUSE4DS, running 4DMAIN.EXE Version 5.3, downloaded 3/2/00.


It won't work in it's standard configuration, nor in MS-Intellimouse Compatible


mode.


It works on drop-down selection boxes where there are more choices than what fit


in the window (Like the OS selection on this page).

Beginning with the 03-16-2000 M15 builds, you can do the following to generate
mousewheel debugging information (on Windows):

set NSPR_LOG_MODULES=MOUSEWHEEL:5
mozilla > mozilla.log

Mousewheel debugging information will have this format:
1024[80589f0]: (message)

Note that the numbers may differ.  If you are having the problems described in
this bug, and see any of these messages in the generated mozilla.log, please
attach the log to this bug report.  If you don't see these messages, the problem
is the app not getting the event in the first place (which is what I suspect,
but I want to be sure).

For what it's worth, I checked in some code today to let mozilla recognize
MSH_MOUSEWHEEL messages that are apparently generated by some mouse drivers on
Win95.  Might make scrolling work in some cases where it did not before.  This
will show up with the next nightly builds, which will be 3-20, I think.

*** Bug 32652 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Using build 2000032210 on an IBM ThinkPad, still no scrolling and no messages 
generated in the log.
Ok, if some of you don't mind a little extra effort... I've compiled a version 
of gkwidget.dll that will print out some additional debugging information on 
startup and (hopefully) when the mousewheel is moved.  The messages you should 
look for are:

Registered MSH_MOUSEWHEEL = 51579   (on startup)
nsWindow receieved WM_MOUSEWHEEL, HWND=3568  (on mousewheel movement)
nsWindow receieved MSH_MOUSEWHEEL, HWND=3568  (on mousewheel movement)

You will have to run mozilla with -console or > logfile to get the debugging 
output.  You can download the gkwidget.dll that prints this info from:

http://www.productivity.org/~bryner/mozilla/gkwidget.dll

Please note that this is from my own build and so may not always be exactly in 
sync with what's in the nightly builds.  Just rename your old gkwidget.dll and 
copy the new one to that directory.


Failed with build 2000032308
Can you elaborate on "failed"?

Mozilla failed to load.  It spits out an error Library load failed or something 
and then immediatly closes mozilla.
I'll download the nightly and see why that would be happening....

I received an email update to this bug from Erik Huelsmann <wiskid@gmx.net>

"I used to work with mouse driver 8.01; due to this report I upgraded to 9.0 and
now the scroll mouse seems to work (after clicking on the frame to be scrolled).
I don't know about graphics scrollbars, but I think I have those on.

bye, Erik."


*** Bug 31262 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Anyone following this bug who runs Win95 may want to re-test using a recent
nightly (M16) build.  I added some code last week to fix a longstanding issue
that was keeping scrolling from working correctly on Win95.

I'm one of the ones who's been having this problem from the start even with the
latest software from Logitech. I'm was still having the problems right up to
last week but scrolling now works with gfx scrollbars on using build 2000041409.
The performance is slow (compared to when gfx scrollbars is off) and there are
some repainting issues when you try scrolling as the page is still loading (and
hence the scrollbar is still resizing) but at least the messages are getting
received and processed now. Good work!

Does anyone know if these performance issues are specific to those affected by
this bug or if they apply to all configurations? Also, what is the expected
behaviour when you spin the mousewheel inside a TEXTAREA element such as the one
I'm currently using? Em_exec would scroll the textarea but moz scrolls the
webpage instead.

(BTW, in response to the previous comment, I'm a Win95 user)

Yes, mozilla scrolls the textarea.  This basically emulates the behavior in IE5
(on Win98 where em_exec is not needed).

I commented last week to bryner that build 2000041308 solved the GFX scrollbar
issue in Win95, but build 2000041705 seems to have regressed.  With this latest
build I can no longer scroll with the mouse wheel.



The -05 builds are from the M15 branch, which does not have the fix for Win95
scrolling.  You want to get an M16 nightly build (such as 2000-04-17-09).


Don't know if this is helpful but I just wanted to add that scolling w/ IBM
Trackpoint still doesn't work as off 2000041808 build with GFX scrollbars on,
but will work w/ GFX scrollbars off.

I have a trackpoint too and no, it's never worked. But anything works with GFX 
scrollbars off, because then the native system scrollbars are used. We want it 
to work with GFX on though.
Mouse wheel had never worked before for me. But in buld 04/26 (Win95) it works 
perfectly. (NoName mouse and 4dmain.exe as driver). I haven't checked the 
last two weeks builds, so I don't know when it exactly started working.
HOORAY and THANKS :-)
Moving all my bugs to this email.

M16 has been out for a while now, these bugs target milestones need to be 
updated.
Some of the messages from back in April make it sound like this problem may be 
fixed at least for Win95.  I don't know if that's still the case, but I want to 
mention that in many many months of builds, I've never, ever seen wheelmice work 
on WinNT 4.0 (SP6) using Gfx scrollbars.  I've tried on two machines, one with a 
Logitech and one with a Microsoft mouse.

Native scrollbars have worked fine for wheelmousing, but other bugs (such as bug 
42524) make using native scrollbars just about impossible. 

whoops, that should be (bug 42542) in my previous message
I have a Microsoft IntelliMouse Pro running on Windows 2000 w/ Mozilla build 
2000071220.  If I go into Control Panel there is a 'Mouse' option with a 'Wheel' 
tab that lets me set 'Roll the mouse one notch to' either 'Scroll x lines at a 
time' or 'Scroll one "screen" at a time.'  My preferred setting is to scroll the 
screen, but that does not do anything in Mozilla.  If I set it to Scroll 3 lines 
at a time, it works.  Scrolling by "screen" works in Nav 4.x and IE 5.x, 
essentially doing a page down / page up.  Just a guess, but I'm betting the 
other mice that are have problems in this bug report are sending a similar kind 
of signal as scrolling by screen.  Please let me know if there are any tests 
that you'd like me to run.
Microsoft IntelliMouse Pro, Windows NT 4.0 SP5, Mozilla build 2000061311 (M16)

Following Mr Faubert's suggestion, I verified that "Scroll x lines at a 
time" in the Mouse control panel works for me, too. More experimentation with 
the Troubleshooter added mozilla.exe to the list of programs under the Advanced 
button where IntelliPoint is turned off. That fixes the problem, too, and I can 
get mouse wheel scrolling by one screen at a time, as desired. (I had tried 
the Troubleshooter with previous builds and it had failed to work.)
Now we're getting somewhere...my WinNT4 SP6 machine with a Logitech MouseMan 
Wheel (driver version 9.0) behaves in a similar fashion.  Setting the mosue 
control panel to scroll by 6 or 3 lines works fine..it's just scrolling by 
screen that does nothing.  Unfortunately, I don't think Logitech has a 
troubleshooter like Microsoft does.

I also noticed that (in Mozilla build 2000071220) the preferences dialog doesn't 
save any changes to the mozilla "mouse wheel" settings.  It seems stuck on 
"scroll the document by..use system default". If you select something else like 
"scroll a page up or a page down", it allows you to make the change, but when 
you check back, it's reverted to the original setting.
In 2000071108/Win98, scrolling works fine with em_exec running. Driver version 
is 8.32.
Unfortunately, there's no windows message for "scroll by screen".  All we can do
is query the system setting for number of lines to scroll... this is possibly a
case where scrolling by full pages is accomplished through native scrollbar
hackery.

What, pray tell, do you mean by "it's doing much better"?  In my case, it means
that I'm much less likely to use Mozilla because my mousewheel simply doesn't
work at all--the one work around is gone.

The Kensington MouseWorks mouse only works with "Office 97 style scrolling
enabled".  The software is MouseWorks version 5.30.  The bug is that when you
move the wheel a lot, page only moves one or two lines and the scroll bar shows
this.  But, the next time you scroll one line, you goto the place where the page
should have stopped the time before.

Further verification - Windows 2000 SP1, using IntelliMouse Explorer, can scroll
via the wheel when the IntelliPoint 3.1a control panel is set to "Scroll n lines
at a time", but not "Scroll one screen at a time".  Since all my text boxes in
all my applications are NOT the same size, the n-lines-at-a-time isn't useful to
me.

Does Peter's message mean this is not going to be fixed before NS release?  This
seems like a pretty major bug to me. I realize it's a result of removing native
scroll bars, but perhaps that's exactly why native scroll bars are often a good
thing, if not a cool thing or a XUL thing.
w.r.t to scrolling a screen at a time...

The only messages the Windows API define for mousewheel movement are
WM_MOUSEWHEEL and MSH_MOUSEWHEEL.  We handle both of these.  If the mouse driver
is trying to do scrolling in a way that does NOT involve sending one of these
messages, there's really very little we can do about it.

Jay, the answer to your question is no, this does not mean it will not be fixed 
before releasing N6, it just means that my team at Netscape will not fix it.  
As you all know, this is an open source project, so everyone please feel free 
to attach a patch to any bug you want fixed, and we will consider taking the 
fix for N6.
According to the IntelliMouse SDK 
(http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/mouse/intellimouse/sdk/sdkmessaging.htm#sdkWM
), the mouse sends the same WM_MOUSEWHEEL messages whether you've got it 
configured as "n lines" or "screen".  It looks like what you need to do is call 
SystemParametersInfo(SPI_GETWHEELSCROLLLINES, 0, pulScrollLines, 0). If 
pulScrollLines == WHEEL_PAGESCROLL, you should scroll a page at a time.

I don't have the source code handy, but I suspect you are already calling 
SPI_GETWHEELSCROLLLINES, but don't recognize WHEEL_PAGESCROLL as a special 
case, and treat it as zero.  (I bet it's a negative number.)  Yes?
Good catch!  This shouldn't be extremely hard to add in.  I am opening a
separate bug to track it (50597).

This also affects my Kensington ValuMouse Scroll. Killing the program that does 
mousewheel in unsupported progs fixing it.
I also have similar problem in using my Acer TravelMate 340T Touch Pad. The
touch pad has two scroll keys (not wheel). To make this scroll keys work. I need
to run the Synaptics Touhc Pad driver first. It works for all application except
Mozilla. When I press the scroll keys in Mozilla, a familiar "beep" sound produced.

Can anyone confirm if they are STILL seeing this problem on recent builds?
(20001102 and later)
Build 2000110904 on Win98
Still cannot find a way to make scrolling work w/ IBM Trackpoint
Confim this doesn't work on a TrackPoint. However on my ThinkPad I've installed 
Logitech MouseWare, which consequently runs the em_exec program. That lets the 
scrolling button work....
Installing Logitech Mouseware is an interesting workaround for the TrackPoint...
I've done so and can now scroll around on most pages.  But the page for this bug
still behaves as before I installed Mouseware - scrolling only affects the CC:
list box w/ the native scroll bar.  Actually, I can scroll the entire page if I
activate scroll while the pointer is over the page's scroll bar.
The problem of only the native scrollbar scrolling is addressed in bug 33732.

Using build 20001108 on both WinME and Win2000 Pro SP1, Microsoft Intellimouse v
3.2 on both machines, standard USB Intellimouse on 2000 Pro and USB Intellimouse
Explorer on WinME.  When Intellimouse is set to scroll a specific number of
lines (instead of screen by screen), and Mozilla is set to Scroll by system
default, it follows system default as it should.  When Mozilla is set to scroll
screen by screen, it works for scrolling Web pages, but not for scrolling this
textarea, for instance. Still, scrolling the pages is great, as it makes it much
easier to read Web sites.

Unfortunately as soon as I set the Intellimouse software back to scroll one
screen at a time, no matter what Mozzila is set to, it stops scrolling at all,
but now my other programs all scroll a screen at a time.


dwolfe -- that issue sounds like bug 50597, which should have been fixed.  Are
you sure you don't have a branch build (-MN6) from 20001108 instead of a trunk

I love Mozilla 6. I trashed NS 6. They shouldn't be compared. Mozilla is stable
and fast and things happen as they should. It just doesn't scroll. Nevertheless,
I forgive it. It's a great browser.
Scroller also doesn't work for MacOS 9.0.

Don't laugh: Macs can run USB mice now, and many of them (including the
Intellimouse and Kensington opticals) have scrollers.

BTW, the middle-click forks a new browser window, even on Mac.  ROCK!!!!!

I'm running Win2000 with Build 200012220. I tried the DLLHook fix in the
registry, but I don't see where to turn off the GFX scrollbar. I'm running
version 9.00 of the Logitech Drivers and 9.00.99 of the Control Center. I have a
Logitech Trackman Marble FX.  Any help getting this to work would be much
appreciated!
I just bought the logitech cordless freedom pro kit(mouse and keyboard).  I'm
using Win95 with Win32 build 2001012504(todays daily).  Anyways the mousewheel
appears to work fine with no need for a fix using the software that came with
the kit(itouch 1.5 CD).  However on pages with more than one scrollbar like this
bug reporting page you HAVE to place the mouse cursor over the page scrollbar in
order to use the wheel to go down the page.  If you don't it will default to the
Cc: list no matter where you are on the page.  

I also noticed one other problem that is harder to reproduce.  Sometimes using
the scrollwheel to go down a little bit results in the wheel going into 'auto'
and going ALL of the way down or up the page depending on the direction you
wanted to go in.  I can't reproduce 100% of the time but it appears that with
the scrollbutton set to doubleclick and pressing down on the wheel when trying
to scroll sometimes results in the fastforward effect.

Another problem I noticed is that if you set one of the buttons to act as a
browser back or browser forward button it will not work in Mozilla... but works
fine in Netscape 4.x
moz1.0 -- i don't think anyone really has any ideas on how to fix this, aside
from getting rid of buggy mouse drivers.
Target Milestone: mozilla0.9 → mozilla1.0
First, scrolling does not work with the utility called mouseimp 
(http://www.tv4studios.com). It seems to belong to the same category as IBM 
TrackPoint which, quoting a previous report, "is pretty much a hack as I see it, 
since it will scroll all windows with scrollbars, focus or not." Still mouseimp 
is very convenient, I use it on win98 with a graphic tablet and pen, and it 
works great with everything except Mozilla and Netscape 6.

Second, after reading the comments here, I realized this problem may be fixed by 
using "native scrollbars". Sorry for my stupidity, but could anyone please point 
out to me how this can be done? In Mozilla 0.8 there's no such option in Debug 
Prefs. Sorry for using this space but I searched the entire site and could not 
find the answer.
native scrollbars are dead and gone.

you can try winembed or mfcembed if you want just gecko and a chance for native 
scrollbars [not sure you can get them from those either ...]

Samir, bryner said you discovered something that involved us having to enter 
ourselves in the registry as an exception to regular mousewheel handling.  Can 
you elaborate on that?
What I found and communicated to bryner was that when I changed the window class
of mozilla from ``MozillaWindowClass'' to ``Internet Explorer_Server'' then the
mozilla window receives WM_MOUSEWHEEL messages.  Without this change the mozilla
window does not receive WM_MOUSEWHEEL messages for XUL scrollbars.  (Native
widgets in forms in mozilla do appear to be causing the triggering and reception
of WM_MOUSEWHEEL messages though.)  This was observed on a debug build on my
Win2K box running on an HP Vectra VL 800 with an HP mouse with part no.
C4737-60001.  ``Internet Explorer_Server'' is the window class of IE's content
area (used MSVC's Spy++ to find the class name).

A question/thought:

My "mousewheel" does not function on any build of Mozilla (so far), but I tried
the newly released Netscape 6.1 and.... my mousewheel worked!  Does netscape add
licensed drivers/code of some sort that Mozilla can't 'legally' add?

In each case, I have "System Default" and "No Modifier Key" set on both Netscape
and Mozilla  (meaning, both are set to the same settings).

Has anyone else tried their "non-functional mousewheel" on Netscape 6.1 yet?
Isn't Netscape 6.1 from the 0.9.2 code base?  (will 0.9.2.1 have working
mousewheel support?)

I guess I'm just thinking out loud, and I hope no one minds!  Maybe someone will
brainstorm and have an idea that could solve the problem :)

( I'm using Windows Millennium, Mozilla Build ID: 20010813, and Netscape 6.1 )
Sorry for the spam! I really do hope this bugger can be squashed!

Apparently some mouse drivers have built-in special casing for certain programs,
determined by the name of the exe file.  In this case, I'd suspect they are
handling "netscp6.exe" but not "mozilla.exe".

We really don't need any more input about specific drivers and mice that don't

I have noticed a couple of things about this bug:

1) Using a bug page as an example, if I run the wheel before the CC: list is
generated, it scrolls the page, and will continue scrolling the page until I put
the mouse over the CC: box.  A Spy++ on that condition might be revealing.

2) I was going to compare the Tinderbox page, but now realize that that is
probably a frame.  Dur.  But the interesting thing there is that if I scroll in
the little ports window, when the scroll bar reaches the bottom, the whole page
scroll.  That may be by design, but was unexpected.  This may also be a
different bug.
That is by design, actually (w.r.t the page scrolling when the iframe hits the
bottom).  This is what IE does also.

On Win2K+SP2 for my Thinkpad T21 I had to update the Trackpoint driver from V2.3

Maybe in the Release Notes for 0.9.7 it would be worth pointing Thinkpad users

Even though development on this doesn't seem to be occurring much, here's a bit
of useful info:
On Logitech Mouseware 9.41 Mozilla scrolls in a jerky fashion and the listbox
thing occurs as well, but when switching to Office Compatible scroll only and
scroll only in active window it works flawlessly.
I just d/l'd and installed 1.0RC1 and in stock configuration it does not work
with my "Yahoo! 4d scroll mouse" in IT's stock configuration (fuzzy scroll). 
This mouse does not have a scroll "wheel", just a middle button which toggles
the scroll function.

So is this bug resolved or not?

From what I've seen so far, it seems that this bug us a superset of a bunch of
other bugs already reported. In particular, the "middle button scroll feature"
mentioned in a few of the below comments seems to be a repeat of <a
href=http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22775>bug 2275</a>, the
autoscroll/panning enhancement. Also, some people mentioned the scroll being
jerky, which is <a href=http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33966>bug
33966</a>. (Forgive me if this comment doesn't get formatted correctly; this is
my first time making a comment in Bugzilla) 

So, what is the purpose of this particular bug? 
Oh, no need for HTML after all. Doh. 

Well, to clarify, what about this bug is not covered in bug 22775 and bug 33966?
Are there issues with individual mice and, if so, is this the problem of Mozilla
or the mouse manufacturer?

Wow ! Endly it's solved with the latest MouseWare from Logitech (downloaded

smooth as under IE with "progressive scrolling" enabled ;-))
With version 1.1 and upgrading my dell synaptics driver AND changing the

I have installed MouseWare 9.73 with a cordless mouse, W98 SE.
The mousewheel is jerky and erratical within some long url pages.
With many other pages it works just well.

Problems includes an "inertia" effect that make the page scrolls to 
the end of document while moving the wheel and moving the mouse 
at the same time.
Also, logitech autoScroll feature is not implemented like in IE.
Also, yoyo effect occurs when moving accidentally the wheel while
dragging the vertical scrollbar
Also, comboboxes are cancelled instead of scrolled when they are open.
also .....

Well, i consider these bugs to be related with current MW 
handling routine in Mozilla 1.2b and should be grouped together:
 #22775   #79296   #175599

Hope is time for a serious effort on rewriting from scratch MW code,
and in any case to contact major mouse driver developer to check if some
of these problems are driver related (unlikely).

Just a behaviour note.. 
In IE the widget that receive MW action is the one UNDER the mouse, not only
necessary the one that have focus on it.
If the MW can't be processed inside the current window under the mouse is
passed to the parent window and so on.. try using IE in this exact page.
I think imho that this behaviour is correct and should be reproduced in moz.

Well.. just an early morning idea..
Many mouse drivers have an "autoscroll" feature that works looking
if the main window have embedded a classic window scrollbar.
Moz do not use any classic window scrollbar due to multiplatform compatibility.
Why not to cheat including in the "win32" codebase branch two "hidden" classic
scrollbar?? 
In this case, mouse drivers will not be confused by the alien windows layout of
moz and will probably send autoscroll messages routed by those hidden scrollbars.
This should ensure compatibility with any sort of windoze mouse driver so far.
Suggestion anyone ?

I have A4Tech WOP-35 mouse with 2 scrolls. First one works fine, but second one
must scrol from left-to-right or right-to-left but it doesn't work. Auto scroll
donesn't works too. As i read before, mozilla use non standart (non Win32)
scroll component, so i think it will never work in Mozilla if A4Tech will not
include support for it in their drivers. Or i have a way to do it???
I haven't seen anyone state this, so... this scrollwheel problem is the reason I
had never moved up to Netscape 6. I've had three different brands of mouse
installed, with at least that many different drivers.
Under Win98se, none of my scrollwheels have ever worked in Netscape 6.
Same for every version of Mozilla, so far (didn't start using it until 1.3).
Hope that's helpful.

I just got around to upgrading to mozilla 1.6 and noticed that this still
doesn't work with my configuration. To recap, I'm using Synaptics' Touchpad on a
Dell Latitude running Win2k. It emulates scrollwheel functionality and every
other program I've used seems to recognize it. Programs I have tested it on are
SecureCRT, IEv6, Acrobat Reader, entire MS office suite, Palm Desktop software,
Eudora, Notepad, mIRC, etc.

I find it hard to beleive that each of these guys wrote in specific code for the
Synaptics Touchpad emulator so I'm guessing there is a system call which
Synaptics sends to which Mozilla isn't listening to. Maybe (obviously) it is not
the more recognized system call since scrollwheeling works with my actual
scrollwheel mouse, but *something* isn't right here... :)

Re: comment 246, you might try downloading the latest driver from the Synaptics
website. Several improvements have been made in the last while (I've struggled
to keep Mozilla working with our scrolling, but it's sometimes a challenge...
for example, did anyone know that Mozilla doesn't properly respond to wheelmouse
messages where the CTRL key is held down unless the message indicates a
"Scrolling amount" of 120 (i.e. the standard MS Intellimouse wheelmouse message
"size"... From the behavior it looks like something as stupid as someone saying
"if (amount < 120) zoom out" rather than actually checking the sign.)?
indeed, the dell latitude c810 here on my lap running w2k w/ Synaptics 5/2/2003
v. 7.5.7.0 can do vertical scrolling as well as forward and backwards navigation
in this mozilla (2004021913 - 1.7a?). horizontal scrolling doesn't seem to work.
MS Trackball Explorer 1.0 Mouse wheel functions; that is scrolling is
functional. However the whel itself is a button allowing fast scrolling.  This
function doesn't work. Windows NT5 is my OS (pro).

Have a 'somewhat' similar problem with a synatic touchpad (v7.12.7) on an Asus
laptop (M6000BNe) scrolling works just fine in most applications, except Firefox
 which just refuses to scroll no matter what. 

Only thing scroll related that seems to semi-work is the zooming of firefox
which works very **** if I hold ctrl and from the top of the touchpad to the
bottom about 3 times for a single zoom :\. Hope this can be resolved soon as
browsing without scroll is annoying beyond believe >.<.

Same as comment #270, except on an HP pavilion laptop with Synaptics driver v.
7.12.7 (the latest driver on the hp website).  To recap: scrolls fine in all
other apps (Firefox is the only Mozilla app I use), but I get no scrolling in
firefox, even with modifier keys.  I also don't get any zooming (with CTRL
modifier).  My mouse icon does change to a little scrollbar-with-pointer icon,
so the system is clearly recognizing the scroll 'commands'.  I have looked at
other reported bugs, and my SynTPEnh.ini file has the mozilla entry as many
others have suggested adding:
[Mozilla]
FC = "MozillaWindowClass"
SF = 0x10000000
SF |= 0x00004000

I am using: Firefox v. 1.0.2 on HP Pavilion zt3000 laptop running Windown XP
Home Edition (SP 2) with Synaptics driver v. 7.12.7, as found on the HP support
website.

I'm using Synaptics Touchpad virtual scrolling, which is not working as
described above; bug 146962 (and bug 56892) mentions this and a fix, but this
fix does not work (see bug 290867)for me in SynTP v. 7.12.
However, I can provide further information in the I can confirm that Firefox
does not respond to virtual scrolling in SynTP v. 5.8 and 7.12, but it /does/
respond in SynTP v. 7.5... (both v. 7 contain the Mozilla entries in the .ini file).

are aware of this issue and are currently analyzing this to hopefully have a

meantime.

I can scroll consistently with a wheel mouse.  However, when trying to use the
"slide" area of the touchpad to scroll it does not work at all in Firefox while
it works IE and other applications. This is with and HP nc6230.
No longer blocks: majorbugs
Virtual Scrolling for Synaptics Touchpads seems to be wokring again with Firefox
1.0.4 and Synaptics Driver 8.0.6

Hello all,

Many people report in this bug that the mouse wheel does not work and they are using Windows XP. So, is this bug only about Windows 98?

Regards, Gérard
I'm getting the same thing under Windows XP SP2.

I have a mouse with only a third button and I used that third button to switch to scroll mode to go and down pages quickly.  Since Firefox 3, it doesn't work.

I'm using the standard mouse driver that comes with Windows XP.  Nothing special about anything.

Any ideas?   I can test things as requested.

Best,
Christopher

Christopter, could you try using Spy++, Winspector or such to see what window message is sent to Firefox when you click the middle button? 

Same thing with other that have a wheel that doesn't work. I'd like to know what messages the Firefox window receives when the wheel is used.

I am having the same problem with the inability to scroll using my mouse's scroll wheel.  This problem started when I upgraded from Firefox 3.5.7 to 3.6.  I restarted Firefox and the problem was still there.  I downgraded back to 3.5.7 and the scrolling started working again.  When I upgraded back to 3.6, scrolling stopped working, but the scroll area on my laptop's trackpad is working in 3.6.

I am running Windows XP SP3, and my laptop is a HP Compaq nc6400.  I am using a Logitech Anywhere MX mouse with the SetPoint 4.80.103 (driver v4.82.11) software installed, which is the last available from Logitech's site for my mouse.

Let me know if you need my help with anything.

Thanks,
Josh

Just have upgraded to 3.6 and Mousewheel not working anymore. XP SP3 on Acer Aspire. Mouse is Logitech LS1 Laser Mouse.
Would apreciate quick correction. Thanks!
Win 7 x64 Pro, Bootcamp MacBook Pro. Multi-touch scroll and arrow scroll fails after certain time or task load is reached. Mozilla-runtime.exe runs and inhibits all window changes and closes or toolbar windows from opening. Re starting minefield results in the same runtime opening but does not cause the same issues until another certain time or task load is reached. Closing Runtime.exe will fix error temporarily.

problem resolved for HP Mouse by ceasing process named PELMICED.EXE

I solved my issue by uninstalling KatMouse.  Someone on another bug report has already logged the bug with the KatMouse developer.
I fixed bug 315727. If your mouse driver uses WM_VSCROLL or WM_HSCROLL instead of WM_MOUSEWHEEL and WM_MOUSEHWHEEL, that should work fine now (set "mousewheel.emulate_at_wm_scroll to true in about:config).

Comment 306 and comment 307 are bug 542151. I'm not sure for comment 308, seems it shouldn't be this bug (i.e., not the driver issue).

If your mouse driver cannot scroll on trunk with latest driver, please file a new bug for each mouse.

ditto
There is no new report for long time.
Can anyone still reproduce with recent driver?
I am setting platform and OS to ALL and Windows. 

Windows users who have a mousewheel that does not work should create a distinct, separate bug report and then set the "Blocks" field to 20618 so that we can get an overview of the mousewheel problems under Windows. This bug has been a meta bug since 2010.
OS: Windows 98 → Windows
Hardware: x86 → All

Since comment 316, there have been no reports filed that block this bug. Closing.
