SeaMonkey never had the best implementation of mouse wheel scrolling,
but in 2.32.1 (and possibly earlier) it appears to be nonexistent. This
is true even in Safe Mode.
By contrast, Fire Fox and Pale Moon work as they should on my Win7 PCs.
Any workaround for this?
In case it wasn't obvious (probably it wasn't) I was referring to
clicking the middle button and then moving the entire mouse N-S-E-W, not
rotating the wheel itself.
What is that supposed to do?
When I go to <http://www.wunderground.com> enter my location, click the middle
button when focused on the static page, move the mouse N-S-E-W, nothing happens.
When I do the same in the map, the map moves N-S-E and W.
The same occurs in my Firefox.
If I press the wheel down in SeaMonkey over a link, my preferences cause
that link to open in a new tab (unless the link is coded in JavaScript).
If I press the wheel down in SeaMonkey away from any link, I get a
circular icon with a black dot in the center and black triangles above
and below that dot. As long as that icon is visible, moving my cursor
away from it causes scrolling in the direction of my cursor. The
farther my cursor is from the icon, the faster the scrolling. The icon,
however, remains static within the window as the window's content moves.
To clear the icon and stop this form of scrolling, I merely press the
wheel down again, not necessarily near the icon.
This works in SeaMonkey, Thunderbird (not in the compose window), Word,
Excel, and possibly other applications. In some cases, the icon appears
different. In Windows Photo Editor, I have to hold the wheel down for
this type of scrolling. This does not work in Notepad or Wordpad.
Thanks for the response. I had to enable "Use autoscrolling" in Firefox to see
the circles and arrows.
As noted in my response to Roger. this is a known issue on Windows in
SeaMonkey's release notes, and supposed to be fixed in SM 2.33b1.
I do see the problem in the 64-bit contributed Linux build of 2.32.1 on my
Kubuntu Linux system.
