Mouse scroll wheel not working correctly.

Just installed Firefox 4 and my mouse scroll wheel is not working correctly. When opening the program, I can scroll as normal for about 5/10 minutes. Then, suddenly, the mouse scroll wheel no longer works. I've since found that it is actually scrolling outside of Firefox. E.g. I had Outlook open and it was scrolling through my Outlook even though Firefox was the open window. I checked this multiple times and it always seems to be the case.
Checked about:config as advised, everything looks correct on the mousewheel settings (i.e everything is set to default). Mouse drivers are up to date. No problems with any other programs. This issue started occurring in Firefox 4 beta. I switched back to 3.6 so I could continue scrolling. Updating to Firefox 4 caused the issue to recur.

It seems a lot of people are having problems with the Mighty Mouse's scroll ball. I actually thought I was done for after just a few weeks of using my first (wired) one. But here I am years later with my wireless variant, beeing perfectly happy with it (in case you don't know, the wireless Mighty Mouse is a much better option due to it's laser based tracking system). In my experience, getting rid of fluff that interferes with the ball is quite easy on both types. Try blowing really hard directly at the trackball (optionally while you press it down with some pointed device) a few times. Rotate it and repeat as needed. Alternatively roll the mouse upside down on the microfiber cloth that probably came with your Mac.

New Imac 20" mouse scroll wheel not working

I just got my imac about 4 months ago and the scroll wheel stop working properly. It will let me scroll down side to side but not back up. Is this something that apple will replace if i take it back to the apple store or am i stuck with a broken mouse.

It can be replaced under the one-year warranty or the iMac it came with, or three years if you have AppleCare.
However, you should try cleaning it. The little rollers under the ball get clogged with gunk and stop working properly.
You can refer to this Apple article.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1537
The way I clean it is with a damp (not wet) lint-free cloth. Fold it over and put it flat on a table or counter top. Holding the mouse up-side-down, roll the ball quickly in all direction on the cloth. Do this for a minute or two. Usually, this will dislodge the accumulated gunk on the internal rollers, and the mouse scrolling will work again.
You may want to do this periodically, even if it appears to be working fine.

Mouse scroll wheel not working properly in ff5

Since upgrading to FF5 the scroll wheel on my mouse doesn't work properly in Firefox - it's works as normal in everything else, just not in Firefox.
When I try scrolling, the wheel clicks (it clicks when turned) 7 or 8 times before the window in FF will scroll, and even then it only scrolls 2 or 3 lines per click. In all prevous versions of FF it would scroll in the same way as it does in all other programs, ie it would scroll 6 lines per wheel click.
It's clearly an issue with FF5 as it only affects FF5 and is annoying enough to make me start using Internet Explorer, which I haven't done for some years.
Anyone else having this problem?

Sorry, this is not possible in the current version of Firefox, but we have an open bug report where we are tracking this issue here:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=686228
With luck it will be fixed in a future version.

Mouse scroll wheel not working on Asus Transformer with Swiftpoint Mouse. Is there a fix?

Asus Transformer with Android 3.1 Honeycomb. Mouse is the Swiftpoint mobile wireless mouse. The scroll wheel doesn't function in the latest firefox mobile browser. Other browsers like the built-in browser and Dolphin browser work.
I've tried going into the firefox config and tried all the mousewheel fixes, but still cant get the wheel to work. Is this a known bug?

Mouse Scroll Wheel not working when iTunes is on secondary monitor

Hi,
This is a pretty convoluted problem, but I run two monitors (from the one RADEON videocard) and it seems that the iTunes7 window won't recognize input from my mouse's scroll wheel when the window is positioned on my "secondary" monitor.
I know, it's weird, but it's the case.
I guess this counts more as a bug report than anything else, but I'm hoping something can be done about this soon!

Good call. I can confirm that the scroll wheel works any time that your mouse is in a positive coordinate location, does not work in a negative coordinate location. It doesn't matter whether the window straddles the two monitors - only what the mouse coordinate is. This applies for left monitors and (not nearly as common) monitors on top.
This goes to show that it's generally a bad idea to rewrite your own scrolling windows - you're bound to introduce bugs for some combination of input/output devices.

Logitech USB MX500 Optical Mouse - Scroll Wheel Not Working

Howdy,
Just started using Archlinux a few days ago and I'm starting to really like it. However, something that was pretty simple to resolve in my previous distro (Gentoo) seems to have me baffled in Archlinux.
In Gentoo, I would simply add the Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" line to my mouse input section of xorg.conf and my mousewheel would work like a charm. In Archlinux I haven't had any luck getting the mouse wheel to work yet. I have tried the suggestions in other threads with adding the Buttons line to xorg (didn't need it for Gentoo), and that hasn't helped me either. I was wondering if anyone else has any ideas regarding my issue? Thanks in advance.

Yeah, I got it to work, but I had to do some things first. You will
need the application called imwheel. Its not in pacman, so you have to
download it and compile it yourself. You can find it here:
http://imwheel.sourceforge.net/. A simple ./configure --prefix=/usr, make,
su -c 'make install' will work out fine. Make sure you use the prefix
because the little start script below depends on the app to be in your path.
Otherwise, it will install in /usr/local/bin and that is typically not in
your path. You can add it to the path if you want to, however.
Then, you need to change your mouse settings in xorg.conf to:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "6 7"
Option "Buttons" "7"
Option "CorePointer"
EndSection
Then, create your ~/.imwheelrc file with this in it:
None, Up, Alt_L|Left
None, Down, Alt_L|Right
Then, create a bash script that you can start with your window manager. Has
to start with your session, so you cant add it to rc.local. I create the
file and add the link to ~/.kde/Autostart for KDE:
#!/bin/sh
#First test if there is a display running.
if test "$DISPLAY" != "";
then
xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5"
imwheel -k -b "67"
fi
This is how I got it to work for for my mouse... Took me a while to get all that info, so I hope it helps someone out :-P

Help with Bootcamp (Speakers and mighty mouse scroll wheel not working)

So I just loaded bootcamp onto my macbook but I'm having some problems. First, my scroll bar on my mighty mouse doesn't work when in Windows. The only help I've seen online has been for those who haven't yet loaded windows. Can I still download a driver that will help me out? My speakers also are not working and the Realtek driver that everyone said worked for them didn't work for me. Advice?

Scroll wheel not working in Mavericks

Update to OS X Mavericks resulted in mouse scroll wheel not working any more at all in any application. Any suggestions for get scroll wheel function working would be appreciated. Thanks!

Just to understand the sequence: you have this problem when you are in a Firefox tab, click a link, and it opens in a:
* new window
* new tab
* same tab
I'm guessing a new window. Since the title bar area is a bit faded, some other window must have the focus, but which one?? If you press and hold the Alt key and press and release the Tab key, you should get the visual Task Switcher pane. The icon to the left of the current highlighted icon indicates the window that had the focus. If you then click that first icon, is it another Firefox window, or some other app?

Lenovo Bluetooth Laser mouse 41u5009 scroll wheel not working in Virtual PC

Firstly this is not a type I have a 41U5009 that is the model number printed on the bottom of the mouse and this mouse came direct from Lenovo with my T61p notebook. For some reason to get drivers for this mouse you cannot simply type in the model number on the Lenovo site as it does not recognize it as a valid model number.
My issue is that the driver I have or the mouse does not allow the scroll wheel to work under MS virtual pc 2007. I am running Vista 64 bit on the T61P laptop and the virtual pc I am running xp. If I plug in other mice such as MS cordless mini mouse or HP standard mouse the wheel from those mice works in the VM. But the wheel on the Lenovo mouse does not work, this makes me believe it is the Lenovo mouse that is the issue. I have tried using the Lenovo mouse on another pc ( a clone pc) and have the same issue with the wheel not working. I should point out that in the parent OS the wheel on the Lenovo mouse works fine. I should also point out that in the VM every other function of the mouse works fine, it is just the wheel part that does not get recognized.

Sorry, but pressing F7 did not do anything I could see in the mobile browser. I had to check with the desktop browser to see what it was supposed to do, and I don't think this caret browsing function exists in the mobile version.
Also tried installing the latest non-beta mobile FIrefox alongside the beta, without syncing anything, and the nonfunctionality of mouse scrolling is present in that one, too. Am considering giving up on mobile Firefox on at least this device.
Note: in case this information is useful, the mouse scrolling works on the Firefox start page with the thumbnails for most used links, but not on any other pages.

Canon SX50HS Scroll Wheel Not working

Hi all,
My SX50HS is approx. 3months old, and suddenly the scroll wheel stopped working. All the other functions seems to be working quite well. I went to the support center since the camera is still under warranty, and they said that they have to replace all the other circuitry and the lens setup to repair this, since the camera is sealed. Only LCD will not be replaced.
I am trying to talk with the camera shop to get a replacement due to all these circuitry replacement.
Anyone experienced this before? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

No that is not why your having problems like that, if you bumped that dail or somthing along those lines then that would make sense/

Can you please provide some supports on this issue?
Thanks in advance.
KKSaran.

Hi kksaran,
Welcome to the HP Forums! I understand that you are having an issue with your mouse scrolling after upgrading to Windows 7. I will try my best to help you resolve this issue.
I suggest going to Device Manager and Mice and other pointing devices. Right click on your mouse and in the drivers tab, click on update driver.
If this does not resolve the issue then I suggest uninstalling and reinstalling the mouse.
Here is a document for Troubleshooting Device Drivers (Windows 7, Vista).
I hope this information helps, please let me know.
Thank you,

How do I get the scroll bar back to the right side of the screen and how do I get the mouse scroll wheel to work again?

Yesterday the scroll bar on Firefox was moved from the right to the left of the screen and the webpages do not scroll when using the mouse scroll wheel.

Reset the pref <b>layout.scrollbar.side</b> to '0' or set to '2' to place the scroll bar at the default right side.
See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/layout.scrollbar.side
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/about%3Aconfig
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]

X-fi scroll wheels not working (agai

Is there any fix for this issue? I bought the wretched thing partly because of the remote control functionality, and it's simply not up to scratch. The scroll wheels stop working if I install the webupdate drivers, and the only way I could get them to function was to stick with the original drivers off the CD. Now they have just stopped working overnight, for no discernible reason.
Mods, any info on this?
