If you press straight down on the mouse wheel and listen carefully you should hear a click and then the icon (a double arrow pointing up and down with a dot between them) appears. I believe it's a mouse 'feature' so you can scroll up and down the page without holding down the left mouse button. I often activate that feature accidently when using the mouse wheel. I'm using Windows 7. -Dan Hall -----Original Message----- From: Kracked_P_P---webmaster [mailto:webmas...@krackedpress.com] Sent: Sunday, March 23, 2014 9:15 AM To: users@global.libreoffice.org Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] stop automatic scrolling
I have had that same "uncontrolled" mouse scrolling before. Yes it seemed to be the mouse driver[s]. Never seen that "light blue" icon before, but I rarely use Windows and then it is mostly USB mice using default Windows internal drivers, not drivers from any media or downloads. I would not want to keep scrolling when I stop moving my mouse. I could not stand it when it happened that one time. The only scrolling option in LO seems to be "smooth scrolling", which seems to be checked as default with my DEB 64 bit install of 4.2.2.1.
