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.
Actually that site, which I have bookmarked for local weather here, is a
good example of what I was describing. You can't scroll it with
SeaMonkey by clicking the wheel and then manipulating the mouse. With FF
and PM, however, you can, including East-West if the page content
exceeds the containment width. It also works in IE.
I'm composing this in SeaMonkey and I can't do it on this page even
though the content exceeds the containment height. But I could do it in
Thunderbird, just like I do with email.
Ah! The light goes on. :)
I had to enable "Use autoscrolling" in Firefox to see the circle with
N-S or E-W arrows David mentions in another response. This works as
expected.
In my 64-bit contributed build Linux SeaMonkey 2.32.1 on Kubuntu I have
Edit > Preferences > Advanced > Mouse Wheel > No modifier key > Vertical
scrolling set to "Scroll the document" and Horizontal scrolling set to
"Same as vertical scrolling".
I can confirm it doesn't work on Linux either, so it appears to be a bug.
But I guess I should have checked the "Known Issues" section of the
release notes before posting any replies.
Autoscrolling (using the middle mouse button) stopped working on
Windows (bug 1114285). This should be fixed in the next release.
<http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/seamonkey2.32/#issues>
SeaMonkey 2.33b1 is out if anyone wants to see if it is fixed.
<http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/2.33b1>
What light? Nothing flashing on my screen here. Just a siren from the
left speaker. Anyway, your post explains a lot. Moral: When in doubt,
check release notes and then post here, in that order.
:) The light that you were referring to autoscrolling, which as far as I know,
isn't enabled by default in Firefox.
Another feature I have never used until troubleshooting this problem. Thanks
for the education.
I keep repeating that mantra of read release notes, take a tour through all
options/preferences to see if anything has been added, removed or changed. It
is amazing what you can learn.
