Pushing my Mouse wheel sideways in J (XP Pro: MS wireless mouse) causes sideways scrolling. I am finding that the bi-directional scrolling in all programs to be very useful.

The IDE uses the standard Java JTextArea control for the J IDE. My guess is that on your Mac with a mouse with both vertical and horizonal wheels (however packaged) you will see that the vertical wheel works (as it is supported) and the horizontal won't. Probably by the time 602 comes out the support for horzl mouse wheel will be available for both Java and Windows for isigraph and other controls. The J IDE uses a standard Java JTextArea control. There is no easy option to get the Mac focus vs caret behavior. Digging in and doing it the hard way is beyond the scope of the current release. A habit of clicking the IDE frame (as Oleg suggests) can mitigate. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joey K Tuttle" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Beta forum" <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, August 19, 2006 6:42 PM Subject: Re: [Jbeta] mousewheel > At 18:18 -0400 2006/08/19, Eric Iverson wrote: >>As far as I can tell in both Windows and Java the mousewheel event is >>always and only sent to the control with focus.
