Mouse misdetected, scroll doesn't work

In the past couple of weeks, I've lost the ability to scroll with the mouse wheel (not a hardware fault - it's happening with more than one mouse). I'm running Gnome 3.12.
Most apps (including mouse settings in Gnome) don't have any scrolling at all. In Chromium, scrolling produces a response, but the page always scrolls upwards regardless of the direction the mouse wheel is turned.
Here's some system information, let me know if anything else would be useful:
$ uname -a
Linux arch-desktop 3.15.1-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Jun 17 09:32:20 CEST 2014 x86_64 GNU/Linux
$ egrep "Name|Handlers" /proc/bus/input/devices
N: Name="Logitech USB Optical Mouse"
H: Handlers=event1 mouse0
The mouse is a bog-standard Logitech two-button-plus-scroll-wheel USB mouse.

I've renamed this thread as further investigation has helped narrow down the problem. It looks like the mouse is being misdetected:
$ egrep "Name|Handlers" /proc/bus/input/devices
N: Name="Logitech USB Optical Mouse"
H: Handlers=event1 mouse0
$ cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep mouse
[ 13.836] (==) RADEON(0): Silken mouse enabled
[ 14.170] (--) evdev: Primax USB OPTICAL MOUSE: Found 9 mouse buttons
[ 14.170] (II) evdev: Primax USB OPTICAL MOUSE: Configuring as mouse
[ 14.172] (II) config/udev: Adding input device Primax USB OPTICAL MOUSE (/dev/input/mouse0)
On our laptop (also running Arch), the mouse works and Xorg.0.log contains the following:
$ cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep mouse
[ 19.661] (==) intel(0): Silken mouse enabled
[ 22.059] (--) evdev: Logitech USB Optical Mouse: Found 12 mouse buttons
[ 22.059] (II) evdev: Logitech USB Optical Mouse: Configuring as mouse
[ 22.060] (II) config/udev: Adding input device Logitech USB Optical Mouse (/dev/input/mouse0)
The Xorg setup is just the default setup as configured, including the following entry within /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "evdev pointer catchall"
MatchIsPointer "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Driver "evdev"
Option "HorizScrollDelta" "0"
Option "VertScrollDelta" "0"
EndSection
I'm assuming a recent update has messed about with the Radeon driver or some other aspect of my setup, as the mouse used to work.
Any ideas on how to reconfigure Xorg so that the mouse is detected/configured correctly? I tried adapting the instructions here, but then X didn't start at all.

Mouse clicks, scrolling doesn't work in applications from start screen (let's call it "tile application")

Hello!
I need help.
2 days ago the mouse worked fine. Yesterday I noticed that the mouse scroll does not work in the "Book Bazaar Reader". Now I found that the right mouse button and left mouse button does not work in some applications, but scrolling work in these applications.
In mail application clicks work in some panels, scrolling doesn't work.
In desktop mode, the mouse works perfectly.
Please help!

Hi
Since at desktop mode everything fine, i suspected some application or 3rd party SW change your mouse setting
Go to run, msconfig, run as administrator, within the System Configuration dialogue box find startup tab, find KHALMNPR (if you using logitec mouse) and uncheck it
click ok and restart
or try to do clean boot to eliminate 3rd party SW issue

Horizontal scroll doesn't work.

I have recently updated to the Firefox 5. After update my A4Tech X6 mouse horizontal scroll doesn't work in Firefox, but at the same time it works fine in other applications. I had no such problems with scrolling in Firefox 3.6.*. Please help me.

sticksen,
I'm glad that it is user specific. Now I only know of one file you are going to need to remove to fix this problem, but keep in mind some basic setting in other programs are going to be rest by the removal of this file, you will just have to change them back when you run across them. Example in My Mail program I had to turn of the show thread feature again.
Ok here is what you have to due in order to delete the file. First off close all running programs including (System Preferences) but excluding (Safari). you will be perfectly fine having it running. The file is a hidden file so you need to show the hidden files on your computer to do so open (Terminal) and type in exactly as follows:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE
Hit return and then follow it by typing:
killall Finder
Hit return finder will reset and all you hidden files with show, after which Open finder and go into (Your User Name)/(Library)/(Preferences) and find the file named (.GlobalPreferenes.plist) and Delete it. Don't do anything after you delete this file just log out. Now log back in open Terminal and type exactly as follows:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE
killall Finder
Now test to see if you can scroll horizontally. And just for your comfort I did this myself after disabling the Horizontal scroll and it toggles it back on. (I have a white macbook not the new unibody macbook).
Do note that Mac keeps all settings files in (.plist)s and by removing them in your user folder will not harm your computer or the stability of your mac. These files are there just to hold settings files so that your experience can be the most pleasing for you.
Hope that helps.

Scrolling doesn't work in Triggers tab

Version 1.2.1 32.13
Click on a Table in LHS tree (table must have 1+ triggers)
Choose Triggers tab
Adjust the height of the lower pane such that scroll bars exist
Try scrolling either with arrow keys or scroll wheel of mouse
Scrolling (using mouse or keyboard) doesn't work for me. Can anyone else reproduce this?
Note that I can scroll using the scroll bar.
Steve

Yes, there are various areas affected by this bug (also inside the other tabs from the table);
What happens is they create a set of scrollbars inside another set (which is really a pane inside a pane, I suppose). Sometimes this creates really weird situations, where you have to scroll both sets to be able to get to the bottom for example.
Can anyone from the team verify this is still bugged?
Thanks,
K.

The touchpad scroll doesn't work in visual studio?

Hello,
As I mentioned in the title, the touchpad scroll doesn't work or affect visual studio community. The scrolling works very well with other software but it doesn't with visual studio community. This same button worked with VS 2010, VS 2012 (It stopped sometimes
but still functioning correctly most of the time), and stopped with 2013 versions. Why?
Take a look at the video to see the problem in action: http://youtu.be/Qt20pM6ZQAo
Thank you for your comments!

Scroll button on what? Are you using a mouse with a scroll wheel, or is this a laptop touch pad?
If the latter, please read here:

Horizontal scrolling doesn't work with ItemsStackPanel in ListView(GridView)

Hi,
In Win 8.1 App Store Project I have a ListView with fixed width and listen for ContainerContentChanging event because of performance issues.
When ListView width is less than content width, horizontal scrolling doesn't work. If we change ItemsStackPanel to VirtualizingStackPanel, horizontal scrolling works fine. But ContainerContentChanging doesn't work with VirtualizingStackPanel.
Is it possible to make horizontal scrolling work with ItemsStackPanel?

T410, Scrolling doesn't work at all

Brand new (less than 2 months old) T410, like I said scrolling doesn't work. I have messed around with the ultranav utility, updated the latest trackpoint drivers, etc, scrolling actually works in the ultranav util "test scroll" but nowhere else. this is trackpad and trackpoint scrolling , in every combination of settings. Any ideas?

hey sez,
could you uninstall the Ultranav software and then reinstall it again ?
If doing this does not resolve it, then I suggest calling Tech support via the number listed in the link below

[apvlv] mouse scrolling doesn't work anymore

Hello guys,
it occured with some newer version of apvlv that mouse scrolling isn't working anymore. Is there any chance to activate that feature again?
Best regards

Hmm It sounds like a problem with apvlv. Does another mouse work with it? Email one or both of these telling them the problem:

I have replaced my magic mouse by a new one but the vertical scrolling doesn't work on each of them. I don't use windows on my Mac. Can somebody provide a solution ?

I had a magic mouse for my Imac and, as I got some problems, i Decide to buy a new one.
Among other problems, the vertcal scroling didn't work and I thought it was a mouse problem.
So, I'm very surprised to notice that this function doesn't work on my new mouse.
Searching in the help, I only find a reserve when using BootCamp for Windows, what I don't use.
Can anybody tell me how I can solve this problem ?
Thank you in advance

Sorry, I'm not sure why Firefox 6 is no longer remembering your zoom settings, but installing the '''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/nosquint/ No Squint add-on]''' might help. No Squint provides options to remember zoom settings for specific web pages, or for all pages.

Scrolling doesn't work on some applications

I'm using the program Notepadd++ and I can't use the touchpad to scroll. I've connected a USB mouse, and scrolling works fine with that device. I've tried reinstalling the drivers, etc, and it still has the same problem. Scrolling also doesn't work when watching flash videos on Firefox. Once again, scrolling works just fine when using a USB mouse.

ih23,
After doing a little research, it seems like it is the programs are conflicting with the driver and you are not the only one to experience this.
Here is what I found to fix the issue in Notepad++. Note that it requires editing registry, so depending on how comfortable you are with that or not, it is up to you if you want to try this fix or not. I would always recommend backing up the registry before changing anything.
"It seems that whatever the Synaptics driver is doing to render the scrolling cursor is confusing Notepad++.
If you go to HKLM\Software\Synaptics\SynTPEnh and add a new DWORD named UseScrollCursor with a value of 0, the scroll cursor won't appear and vertical scrolling will work in Notepad++."
Best of luck!

Two finger trackpad scroll doesn't work in Mac os 10.9

I just upgraded to Mac OS 10.9 and noticed that the little arrow buttons on the bottom of the scroll bar is no longer there. So I looked into other alternatives to scrolling windows up and down and found that the trackpad has the ability to do so using the two finger scroll feature. This would be great, except mine doesn't work. Other trackpad features work, but the scroll up and down does not. Any ideas to get this to work?

Xcelsius/Dashboard Design - mouse over capability doesn't work/losing hover

Hello there, I am currently in a tough situation. If any Xcelsius gurus can provide me with a solution, I would very much appreciate your help.
I currently have a dashboard with pie chart component in the default view. It has a radio button with two values. The mouse over doesn't work when the dashboard is loaded. However, when I make a selection in the radio button, the mouse over works for both the options. I have noticed this is a bug but if anyone has a solution or way around it, let me know.
Another issue - I have a 'All' view and 'Region' views in the menu bar. When a user clicks on a particular Region, then clicks all and goes back to a region, I lose the drill down capability on the pie chart thats on the Region view. initially, the mouse over and drill down works fine. However, after going to the All view and coming back to a region, this capability is lost. It acts the same way as the problem above. User can't hover nor drill down. If anyone has a solution to this, let me know.

FYI this is the article on the main forum page:

Two-finger scroll doesn't work in the "comments list" in Adobe Reader

Adobe Reader XI version 11.0.07, Mac 10.9.3
Two-finger scroll works great in the main pane. However it doesn't work in the comments list area (View -> Comments -> Annotations).
Dealing with 500+ annotations that I have to approve. Not being able to scroll through them easily is frustrating.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

When my page is minimized to half my screen, the horizontal scrolling doesn't work.

It had been working previously, but it just stopped. If I'm on a webpage and trying to scroll sideways with two fingers, it doesn't work. Vertical scrolling works fine.
I'm on a Dell Inspiron, running Windows 7.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
<b> To Enable SafeMode </b>
*You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
*''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox"; Linux: "Firefox/File > Quit")
