------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Oct 20 08:08:52 -0700 2005 ------- This is the same issue reported in 53249, 24357, 42950, 24359, & possibly others. It has **WRONGLY** been reported fixed/closed. The issue is, that scrolling doesn't work when using the IBM Thinkpad Trackpoint & middle button in OpenOffice. This scrolling works FINE with every other application I have ever used, including Firefox. The previous issues were reported closed based on a workaround, but this is incorrect, because: A) The workaround doesn't work -- not for me, anyway, and also not for others that I have read on various boards. B) The idea of that sort of workaround (go in & edit a system file) is unacceptable for a product that is meant to be user-friendly & compete w. MS Office. How is the average user even going to know such a workaround even exists (even if it worked)? Besides, things like scrolling are expected just to work, and does with every other application. I've never come across a single other app that requires editing of a system file to get the trackpoint to work. So there is clearly something peculiar in the OpenOffice implementation. You fix a lot of obscure features that nearly no-one uses, but nearly no-one will use OpenOffice Write as a substitute for MS Word if scrolling doesn't work. IBM Thinkpad is not some obscure no-name laptop you don't have to think about. Most decision makers in most big companies are making their decisions while working on Thinkpads. You might try to work with IBM/Lenovo to resolve it -- they have an interest in OpenOffice. You might just try to really figure out the problem & fix it. Or you might just say it's not very important & put it down the priority stack. But please don't report it as fixed/closed until it is.
