I found the problem. Believe it or not, it's the optical mouse. I changed to a wired USB mouse and everything's fine. I'll try changing drivers to see what happens but I won't annoy you further. Thanks very much for the help.

We have reviewed the code of XXE in order to guess how this could happen. We have found nothing at all because there is no XMLmind code which ``intercepts'' the mouse wheel events. In fact, it's the standard Java scrollbars which do this, so in principle, XXE's document view should react exactly like say, the scrollable pane in the "Change Document Conversion Parameters" dialog box. We are really sorry but we don't see how we could help you.
