Mouse Scroll speed problems with JVM

I could not find Java (Apple’s JVM ) forums, so I might be posting this in the wrong forum. With that disclaimer, here is my issue:
I am running into a problem where the mouse-wheel scrolling speed configurations are not being properly passed to Java applications. I have set my scrolling speed to the maximum, all works well with regula apps, yet when I use my mouse-wheel to scroll and window in a Java application, scrolling it is unbearably slow, the wheel becomes useless.
Also, horizontal scrolling does not work in any java application either.
I believe these are a problem with Apple's JVM implementation. Are there any workarounds?
Has anyone else experience this?
JVM v1.5

Does this happen with all Java apps or just a handful? I ask because I found that OpenOffice scrolls so slowly that it's unusable. However, I think this is an issue with OO, not with Java. Other Java apps scroll fine for me.

  • Lion mouse scroll speed scrolling too fast

    System Pref > Mouse > Scrolling Speed is set to the slowest level and it is still way too fast!  Heard others complaining about this on a Parallels discussion group and thought I would post here.  Incease the range of scrolling sensitivity in an update please!  Reply to this post if you are having the same issue.
    Scrolling was always way to fast in leopard when using Iphoto, but this with Lion it is too fast everywhere else except for huge files.

    I suppose you are using a non-Apple mouse. You will need to update the software, and adjust the tracking multiplier within the software.
    Logitech just came out with an update for Lion.

  • Mouse scrolling speed is too fast

    It appears that iPhoto doesn't honor the mouse scrolling speed in system prefs. Scrolling with the mouse is useless for me because the slightest up or down movement scrolls several pictures at a time. I have a Logitech MX Revolution... I don't know if the mighty mouse behaves any differently. Is anyone else annoyed by this?

    Nevermind... I discovered the Logitech prefs allow me to fine tune the scroll wheel.

  • Adobe Reader ignores mouse scroll speed setting

    Whenever I load a .PDF file, the mouse scroll wheel setting is ignored and the document scrols 1 line at a time. This is very annoying when trying to read a document, especially is it is a long one.
    Is there a way to set the scroll speed in the Reader so that it matches the Windows scroll speed setting?

    Can anybody tell me how to set a mouse scroll speed in "chromium" for example? I found an application called "imwheel", and edited ~/.imwheelrc adding
    "^chromium$”
    None, Up, Button4, 5
    None, Down, Button5, 5
    but still get an error:
    INFO: imwheel started (pid=897)
    expected 3 args, got 1, in config.
    “^chromium$”
    How to make it properly, anyone?
    fixed it, just needed to remove "$" sign in “^chromium$” > “^chromium”.
    One thing is if imwheel working, you cant increase fonts in chromium with "ctrl + wheel" unfortunately.

  • Mighty Mouse scroll ball problems

    I wondered if anyone could help me with a scrolling issue with the mighty mouse. Some days scrolling works vertically up and down and other times just one direction. I dont believe it is due to dirt in the mouse - it seems software related and is sporadic in its operation. Any advise you could give would be welcome
    Thanks
    Nick

    DP, that is what worked best for me in the past.
    After months of problems with the scrolling ball, and after trying all the suggestions found on the web, this method of using a white sheet of paper was an excellent one: my MM was again clean and working as if it was new!
    However, be careful about it: don't push too much when running the MM upside down. Eventually, yes, the gunk will come out, but the ball would go down-inside the case if pressed too hard for too long. It happened to me when using this method for a second time, and I was in the need to disassemble the device in order to correct this, and I think that's exactly what I was trying to avoid in the first place.
    Hope it helps.

  • Another Mighty Mouse Scroll-Ball Problem

    Hi,
    I bought my bluetooth mighty mouse around October of last year, and ever since I've had it the scroll ball will get choppy and then stop working.
    I use a cloth to scrub the ball so it'll at least move, and that seemed to work okay.
    But today, I scrubbed the mouse and it made the ball get pushed down into the mouse.
    It'll still scroll, but I can't middle click. Plus, there's room all around the ball for more dirt to get in.
    What should I do?

    Do I just call AppleCare to fix this (like I would if I had a problem with my iMac)?
    I'm not familiar with Apple's warranty stuff when it comes to keyboards, mice, and other non-computer hardware.
    Thank you

  • After upgrading to 20.0.1, my mouse scrolling speed is slow

    I've just updated to 20.0.1 from 19.0.2 and suddenly, the speed of my mouse scrolling has decreased dramatically. When I tried other browsers, it was usual/normal speed but for firefox, it was very slow (i.e around 5+ lines decreased).
    I have looked at one of the recent post about this problem (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/948356?esab=a&s=mouse+wheel+scroll&r=0&as=s) however, even setting mousewheel.enable_pixel_scrolling to "false", it didn't revert back to normal/usual speed.
    FYI, this is without smooth scrolling. I don't use this feature due to personal preference.
    Help would be appreciate it.

    I had a similar problem where it seemed like smooth scrolling was always "ON". Whenever I moved my mouse scrollwheel for 1 notch, the page only scrolled for a few pixels. So it looked like smooth scrolling was enabled somewhere even though it was set to "OFF" in Firefox options.
    It turned out that it was a Logitech extension that was causing the problem, more precisely Logitech SetPoint software which was smoothing the scrolling and overriding Firefox's settings.
    So if you have a Logitech mouse and Logitech SetPoint software installed, go into Firefox menu Tools -> Add-ons, then click on "Extensions" on the left and then find Logitech SetPoint entry and DISABLE it. I did that and scrolling was then back to normal, as configured within Firefox settings.

  • Mouse scroll intermittent problem

    Sometimes my mouse scroll button will not work properly and it is diffucult and annoying when trying to scroll down a page or website. I went into system preferences and adjusted the scroll button back and forth, then left it in the centre. My mouse seems to have improved but there is still a slight internittent problem with the scroll ball. I thought that I might need a new mouse but suspect that the problem may be software related and not hardware. Can anyone help with this?

    Yipeeee! Thanks guys I tried the white paper method and pressed quite hard rolling that track ball on the paper there was quite a bit of unseen dirt on there. I then wiped it over again with a clean damp cloth and my mouse is now fully functional.... good tips!

  • Potential Thread Problem with JVM (1.4.2_05)

    This junit test fails on 1.4.2_05 (running on Windows XP), is there a problem with the code or the JVM?
    public class BadJVMTest extends junit.framework.TestCase {
      static byte[] b = new byte[] { -1, 1 };
      public int m2(int offset) {
        while (true) {
          if (b[offset] >= 0)
            return offset + 1;
          offset++;
      class Inner {
        int fOffset = 0;
        public void m1() {
          fOffset = m2(fOffset);
          if (fOffset == 0)
            throw new RuntimeException("Internal Error.");
      private class ReadThread extends Thread {
        int failed = 0;
        public void run() {
          for (int i = 0; i < 100000; i++) {
            try {
              new Inner().m1();
            } catch (Throwable t) {
              failed++;
              System.err.println("Problem on call number " + (i + 1) + " (" + t + ")");
      public void test() throws Exception {
        int numOfThreads = 100;
        ReadThread threads[] = new ReadThread[numOfThreads];
        for (int i = 0; i < numOfThreads; i++) {
          threads[i] = new ReadThread();
          threads.start();
    for (int i = 0; i < numOfThreads; i++) {
    threads[i].join();
    for (int i = 0; i < numOfThreads; i++) {
    assertEquals(0, threads[i].failed);

    Nothing jumps out at me about the code (other than
    its general convolutedness, which I assume you're
    aware of).
    What, exactly, are you observing? I assume it's that
    fOffset is zero after calling m2(), so you're
    throwing the RTE, right?Which does look like a bug to me, however, there are parts of nested class arcania that are beyond my paltry knowledge, so I may be basing that on faulty assumptions.

  • Incompatibility problem with JVM

    I am running Win98 and I use IE5.5 for my browser. I tried installing JVM and recieved the error:
    Error number 0X80070725
    Description: Incompatible version of the RPC Stub
    The installation was stopped. I now have a problem with some applets and/or windows opening from some links. I'll get a window either transparent or blank and the pointer is an hourglass looking as if something is happening but nothing does. I can close the window with no problem but the only way I can get to some of the sites I need is to hand type them in the address bar. Some I can't even get to. PLEASE HELP !!!

    There's currently an epidemic of this problem. It's a
    really new problem,because Microsoft in their wisdom,
    made a version of the OLEAUT32.DLL (et.al), version
    3.50, that is incompatible with Windows 98. IMHO this
    was a big mistake by Microsoft and the worst form of
    DLL HELL. It comes with the version that ships with
    Windows XP.
    Someone has made an install that includes this new
    DLL, thereby destroying your system. Here is a fix:
    Download:
    download.microsoft.com/download/msninvestor/Patch/1.0/W
    N98/EN-US/mcrepair.E
    XE
    Then run it, and when it prompts you to overwrite
    newer files, make sure you click YES for each file
    (not "No" or "No to all")
    This will replace all of the 3.50 DLLs from XP with
    older versions
    compatible with Windows 98 (2.40.4515)
    NOTE TO ALL INSTALL DEVELOPERS: DO NOT INCLUDE THE
    WINDOWS XP VERSION OF
    OLEAUT32.DLL, OLEPRO32.DLL, ASYCFILT.DLL and
    STDOLE2.TLB in your setup. It is causing great pain
    everywhere.

  • Bad noise/ fan speed problem with Rev B iMac

    Like a lot of other people, I'm having problems with ridiculous fan noise. I've read through the forum and tried the following (with no success):
    1) Reset SMU (x2)
    2) Ran Maintenance Scripts. (x2)
    3) Removed the back and blew dust from fans, ports, etc.
    The processor is set to automatic. The problem occurs whether or not I have any peripherals plugged in. I get the noise/rpms when all I have running is Safari and XRG.
    On certain websites, the CPU fan will climb to 5600, CPU temp to 79C, with CPU usage at 80-90%.
    Does this sound like a logic board problem? Something else, possibly?
    Basically, I'm trying to cover all of my bases before I get on the phone with AppleCare. I'd like to try to keep that as short as possible. Thanks in advance for any help/comments.
    iMac G5 (ALS) 17" 2.0GHz 512MB RAM Superdrive   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  
    iMac G5 (ALS) 17" 2.0GHz 512MB RAM Superdrive   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Just an FYI. During my iMacs motherboard replacements (3) I was never asked for a case number once. I spent hours on the phone with Applecare when in reality I already new I had a hardware problem and if I would have just taken it in it would have been fixed quicker. The third time I took my iMac G5 in for service the local tech told me to call up Applecare (3rd time then call) and ask for a replacement stating that if they need to call me he would explain that I had a lemon. In everyone of the three bad motherboards the fans spun out of control so I have more experience than I would prefer on this subject. They did step up and as you can see in my profile I have a new Intel iMac courtesy of Apple.
    Also a utility to measure your fan speeds is here: http://www.gauchosoft.com/Software/X%20Resource%20Graph/

  • Possible temporary fix for mouse scroll wheel problem in Lion

         This is a potential temporary fix for those users of Lion who are unable to fix the reversed mouse scroll wheel issue. I myself have a Microsoft Arc Mouse (not the touch version but the original version) and when I went into the mouse system preferences there was no checkmark box option to return the scroll wheel to its original configuration. When I called Apple about it I was told it's an issue with Lion not recognizing the mouse as being able to reverse the scroll wheel and that Microsoft will need to update the firmware to allow for this change. On a whim, I tried out my wife's Logitech mouse (can't remember the model but it's a fairly recent one) and checked the system preferences. This time there was the checkmark box to allow the scroll wheel to be returned to its original configuration and I could use the scroll wheel as normal. When I plugged my Arc Mouse back in, the scroll wheel had reverted to its original configuration of rotate the wheel down for down scroll and up for up scroll.
         So, for those of you who are unable to correct your scroll wheel through preferences, you might want to try plugging in another mouse, making the correction in system preferences, and then plug your original mouse back in.

    I mean it. Apple makes major changes in the way things have worked for years, then makes that change the default, causing 1m people to struggle. Bad Bad App le.
    There other changes like this in Lion as well, which are arbitrary and are "App le" policy now, which even App le themselves do not follow! (e.g. Cmd-Delete for "Don't Save" in a few App le applications, where 900 million people have used Cmd-<first letter of button> already, for years)
    And yes, I did have to go next door and borrow a mouse. "Why?" they said... "I have a Mac" I said. "<laughter> get a real computer" they said. App le does itself no favors by pulling this stuff.
    Many of us cannot buy new equipment when arbitrary changes are made, and "get a new driver" is a slap in the face, especially when such changes as Reversing scroll for many-millions could easily be done by making the "new way" an Option, not a default.
    Don't get me wrong, Mac and iPhone etc are way ahead of MS and all, but the rabid arrogance inside App le is App aulling.

  • Magic Mouse Bluetooth connection problems with Mac OS X Lion

    I've a problem with my Magic Mouse on  bluetooth since I've updated my Mac to Lion, it's disconnecting too often. How to fix it ?

    It might be a physical battery connection problem. The solution was already described by this article:http://macs.about.com/od/tipstricks/qt/Fix-Magic-Mouse-Disconnects.htm
    Placing a trimmed piece on paper that was cut from a business card between the batteries and the battery-enclosure lid helps hold the batteries down firmly. This eliminates the tiny freeplay that allows a physical battery terminal disconnect when the mouse is jolted.
