After upgrading to SeaMonkey 2.1 I can no longer scroll bookmarks and
history on my HP dv7 laptop using the Synaptics Track Pad scrolling.
Track Pad scrolling works everywhere else that I can find except in
Bookmarks and History. I was at the latest Synaptics driver on the HP
site (15.1.6.64) but I found a later one (v15_2_20_C) on the Synaptics
site so upgraded to it. No help. If I connect a real mouse with a
middle scroll wheel the bookmarks and history will scroll using the
wheel, but they won't scroll using the Track Pad Scroll. The top and
bottom autoascroll arrows work on Bookmarks, and I can click and drag
the scroll bar in history, but the emulated middle mouse scroll does
not work in Bookmarks and History. My OS is 64 bit Windows Home
Premium SP1 with all the OS and driver updates. This worked in the
previous versions of SeaMonkey and just stopped working after the 2.1
upgrade.

I have discovered that changing the Synaptics Pointing Device scrolling
option from "scroll item under pointer" (which is the default) to
"scroll selected item" corrects the problem. Not sure why this makes it
work, seems like it should work with the default but I haven't found any
down side to using "scroll selected item" so will leave it that way to
get Bookmark scrolling to work because it was a real pain without it.
Below is Synaptics definition of the options:
Scroll item under pointer
Select this option if you want to scroll the window or item that is
under the pointer. With this option you do not need to click on a window
first in order to scroll it.
Scroll selected item
Select this option if you want to scroll the currently active window or
item. This is usually the last window, part of a window, or item that
you clicked on.

Wonderful that you found a solution Jim, and thank you for sharing it
with us all so that if the issue comes up again we can at least suggest
a fix.
