NOTHING will allow me to mouse wheel scroll through fonts in CS6

OMG, I am about to have a coronary trying to find fonts! I have looked on this forum for an answer that works and cannot find anything thus far. First, WHY is it necessary for CS6 font list in the Character Pallet to take up 1/2 of my screen?! Second, do i REALLY have to click the little arrows at the top and bottom of the font list to scroll through fonts, ONE.BY.ONE? Typing the first letter does not work either, it takes me to say the "D" fonts but when i click the drop down arrow to see my list of "D's", it shows a list from the top, not the D section. I REALLY hope I am missing something here, because seriously, this is totally unusable.
ETA: Going to the TYPE>FONT menu at the top does not scroll either and Photoshop CS6 works beautifully...
ETA (again): i CAN scroll through the menu on the top (under the FILE-EDIT-etc menus), but there is no font preview (and it is selected as med in preferences)

Thank you for the reply. System is a fairly new Windows 7, 64 bit, plenty of RAM, hard drive space, i5 dual core processor. To have this issue in Illustrator only and not in Photoshop seems less likely a software conflict (just guessing)? I attached screen shots.
Character Pallet drop down (mouse wheel, keyboard arrows, typing a letter key...all do nothing) Only way to navigate is by hitting the little arrows on the top/bottom of the drop down. And no scroll bar?
Top Menu Drop Down - scrolls, hit a letter key and works, arrow keys work. Could use this permanently, but there is no font preview..
All of what you said works on your system, is how I would expect it to be programmed. Partially making sure this is not the way it was designed, and hoping to find a fix for why its not working correctly.
Main programs installed:
Firefox
MS Office 2007
quickbooks
CS3 Design suite (I JUST upgraded to CS6 and have kept it there for a backup...probably can uninstall now if that could be an issue)
Thank you for any advice and if you would like to upload the video, that would be great.

CS6 Mouse Wheel Scrolling for Fonts in Character Panel

in Illustrator CS6 I can no longer use my mouse wheel to scroll the list of fonts [which appear when you click the down arrow next to the font family] in the Character control panel. I could do this in CS5.
Anyone know how to fix this? I think it dos not work in Photoshop CS6 either.

Thanks Ivan for the quick response.
Yes, if I simply hover my mouse over the Font drop down it allows me to scroll through fonts [but only shows the single, selected font]. This is quite helpful, if I have text selected, scrolling through fonts quickly changes my selected text to the scrolled to font, allowing me to preview fonts fast.
While I do love and use the feature, I still often like to pull up the "full drop down list" of fonts like I've previously mentioned and use the mouse wheel to scroll through the list quickly. This enables me to see many fonts at once, instead of just a single one at a time. But again, this is where the mouse scroll wheel does not seem to scroll the list. I was able to scroll though the list in older versions of Illustrator CS.
I've attached screenshots to show the specific "list" i'm referring to, just so you fully understand what i'm talking about (which I think you already do).

[X300] Mouse Wheel Scroll Lines Setting does not stick

I often use an external mouse (no additional driver needed). After every reboot, the setting "Mouse Wheel Scroll Lines" in Control-Panel -> Mouse -> Wheel is reset to 1 (I am using Vista). This is really annoying because it slows down scrolling extremely.
Does anyone have the same problem?
I think its caused somehow by the ALPS touchpad driver (The X300 has a really bad one, the Synaptics pads built in previous Thinkpads were WAY BETTER).

Have you made any progress? I am having no luck getting the X300 touchpad to scroll with MANY applications: Photoshop, Illustrator, Access to mention some. I use Windows XP - another user has complained that with Vista he does not getting scrolling to work with iTunes, Live Search. Plus, wheel events are not handled by the Remote Desktop, so anytime you are tunneling, you don't get touchpad scrolling. I have been expecting a new UltraNav driver for months - but nothing yet. I think I have tried every combination of touchpad and trackpoint settings possible, but maybe you know something I don't.

I am sorry but the problem you describe is a completely different one. Personally, I don' t care for these few applications, especially iTunes and further rubbish. Fact is, the quality Ultranav2 Driver is much much worse compared to the Ultranav1 which uses a Synaptic touchpad. Responsiveness, accuracy, supported applications, bugs are much worse with the Ultranav2 used in X300.
AFAIK adding applications to support the touchpad needs just adding them to some list in registry or what. But as I said, I never cared for that. The problem that the driver resets mouse settings when using it, I find much more disturbing.

Issue with Adobe Muse parallax jitters with mouse wheel scrolling vertically.

Hi all,
I'm learning Adobe Muse for the first time to put together a wedding website (http://mattandsangeeta.businesscatalyst.com/index.html), so bear with me as I'm a novice at the software - though I do have the most up version, Adobe Muse CC 2014.
So far, it's been an excellent platform, and for the most part the site functions incredibly well. However, one key flaw I've noticed in it is the parallax scrolling speed when using a mouse.
The parallax portion of the site jitters badly, and while we've found a few improvements for the issue (the best was making sure there was nothing that had scrolling set to "0"), I'm still at a loss for how to get smooth scrolling transition speeds. Every forum Adobe has seems to be showcasing the features, and not troubleshooting this particular issue. A lot of posts are similar, but none seem to be resolved. I've noticed that other parallax pages are smoother with the mouse wheel scrolling down, so I'm hoping it's just an issue with Muse that has a setting or snippet of code that can remedy the issue.
What makes me realize it's the mouse wheel scrolling, and not the site itself, is because whenever I access the site on my surface pro tablet, the parallax runs buttery smooth with touch control or even trackpad control. Same when you click the middle scroll button and pan down. Without any mouse wheel scrolling, it looks great! But with a mouse wheel, it hiccups constantly and ruins the effect.
So, is there any way to smooth out the steps that the mouse wheel scrolling seems to be causing?
Thanks in advance,
Matt

Thanks for the link, however that specific thread was one of the ones I referenced in my original post.
In the beginning of the thread, it's clear that coding can fix the issue, though it's not recommended. More telling is that the response you referenced indicates that the issue is claimed to have been either fixed or mitigated In updated releases of Muse.
As you pointed out earlier, however, Firefox displays the parallax a little better than Chrome, and much better than Internet Explorer. I'm assuming that Adobe Muse Creative Cloud 2014 release attempted to this issue.
So my question kind of remains: am I missing a setting that would make the scrolling more smooth, or is it simply just a limitation of the browser / software / parallax combination?
Thanks again for the responses.

Mouse wheel scroll event ON CHANGE?

Colleagues,
Very simple question:
How to get mouse wheel scrolling event on change? Without polling?
Is Acquire Input Data.vi the only way to get it?
Thank you in advance,
Andrey.

Hi Andrey,
i think it's not build in. I wrote some years ago the attched vi's, because i also miss this feature. These vi's use the "acquire input data.vi", but it only polls if a control has registered for it.
Hope it helps.
Mike

Fix mouse wheel scrolling in Grid view in Windows

Fix mouse wheel scrolling in Grip view in Windows so it functions more smoothely

This is a bug.
I don't think it is rendering problem, because LR renders in background. (Though, it would be nice to have quicker rendering)
I think it is a locks in DB bottleneck when LR gets draft images from database. This code should be revised:
- DB requests shouldn't be performed on paint thread
- current locks should be worked out.

I am unable to get my Logitech T620 touch mouse to scroll horizontally in Photoshop CS6

I am unable to get my T620 touch mouse to scroll horizontally in Photoshop CS6. Any suggestions on how to enable this? The bar at the bottom of the document moves left/right as I scroll, but the screen doesn't.
I am using a T620 touch mouse on Windows 7 64 bit with the latest version of setpoint. I have checked the box in the mouses settings to allow sidescrolling with a swipe of 1 finger. I am aware you can hold control and swipe up/down to get a left right scroll.
Thanks in advance

***Cant Scroll through fonts using arrow keys

when trying to preview different fonts in AI i am unable to scroll through them using the arrow keys, it just doesnt move... can anyone tell me whats wrong? im sure its pretty simple but i have no idea how to fix it...if it can be fixed... oh im using cs3 and a mac on os x leopard

you cant scroll through fonts in photoshop too. the scrolling stops on an item of the list (maybe photoshop has problem with it), and 1. in photoshop, you can't jump over it, you have to manually place the selection on the item after the one that blocked the scrolling, 2. illustrator will jump backward and you will keep scrolling about max 5-6 fonts over and over.
the font groups divided with lines are meaningless. it doesn't have any relation with regional keysets or any good reason.
a lot of unusable font f....d into the middle of the page.
i have to scroll over a dozens of unusable system fonts, what I cannot uninstall from Windows.
no font management at all.
and yes waiting for another 300$ upgrade too.
(plus another upgrade for a flash, because flash drawing tools didn't see upgrades in their whole lifetimes.
these tools are covered with bugs from top to toe. because nobody takes care of them. 300$ / 1bug.)

Scroll through fonts (using arrow keys) in CS3?

I've searched a couple dozen blogs and this forum, but I cannot seem to find a way to scroll through fonts using the arrow keys in CS3. The tips I've been able to find are for older versions of PS and don't seem to work with CS3. Am I missing something? Am I crazy?
Many thanks!
- An addled designer

Okie Dokie.
So, on the left, I have the type tool selected.
In the middle is the drop down font family panel.
On the right, you'll see that I have the text layer selected.
Oh, and you can see in the top that my text is not in editing mode (hence the lack of the green check/red "no" symbol).
Am I doing this correctly?
Oh and if I trash my preferences will I lose keyboard short cuts I've set up?
THanks again!

Mouse wheel scrolling by page instead of 3 lines

When I scroll my mouse wheel down or up, it goes by page instead of 3 lines (as set in Win7). This is happening only in Nightly 39.0a1 (2015-02-24), and I can't find where to change the setting, and frankly don't know how it got changed in the first place. Every other application does the 3 lines like they're supposed to. I was just scrolling thru my email and BOOM it started going by page. I've rebooted and tried holding every combination of CTRL/ALT/SHIFT and scrolling thinking that might help. Any ideas?

hi greystoker, nightly is an unstable development branch where things are bound to break or go wrong every now and then.
what you're describing sounds like [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1136177 bug #1136177] which will be addressed in one of the next updates.

Mouse wheel scroll question

Hello to all, i want to make the following question:
I have a canvas which has a vertical scroll bar, inside this
canvas there is a textarea control which has a vertical scroll bar
too. That i want to make is:
when the user put the mouse cursor on to the textarea and use
the mouse wheel i want to make scrolling the canvas and not the
textarea.
any help will be appreciated.
thanks in advance

Thanks for the replies. The solution to my question is this:
package
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import mx.controls.TextArea;
public class newTextArea extends TextArea
public function newTextArea()
super();
override protected function createChildren():void
super.createChildren();
textField.mouseWheelEnabled = false;
private var scrollAnterior:Number=-1;
private var direccionScroll:Number=0;
override protected function
mouseWheelHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
var dirScroll:int = event.delta <= 0 ? 1 : -1;
if (verticalScrollPosition==scrollAnterior &&
direccionScroll==dirScroll)
return;
scrollAnterior=verticalScrollPosition;
direccionScroll=dirScroll;
super.mouseWheelHandler(event);
it works fine, but now i want to make the same with the
canvas, but seems is not possible override mouseWheelHandler event
in it. Any help or suggestion ?
Thanks in advance

Adobe Reader slow when mouse wheel scrolling in Full Screen mode.

When I scroll a pdf in normal mode, its fine, but when I try to view in Full Screen mode, the scrolling is much more slower and it takes more rolls of the mouse wheel to get to the next page. Does anyone know how to improve the scrolling function of the Adobe Reader when viewing a document in full screen mode?

Good that you solved your problem. There will probably be other users that need to solve the same problem and your solution might help many others. The support here comes from users helping other users.

How do make the mouse wheel scroll in my Flex app/component instead of the browser?

Let's say I have a DataGrid or Tree or List component which
has hundreds of rows. When I place my mouse over the component and
scroll the mouse wheel, I notice that [most of the time] it scrolls
the component a little, then starts scrolling the browser window. I
want it to only scroll the component until it reaches the end of
the rows. Any thoughts?

I have confronted the same issue.
Was anybody able to solve it?
I think mx.contorols.TextArea seems to do well.

Mouse wheel scrolls only downwards (win7, configur...

The mouse scroll wheel scrolls only downwards on OVI views, even when trying to scroll upwards. This happens in windows 7 when the mouse wheel is configured to scroll one page at a time. There seems to be a Qt bug about this (https://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-12284), so please bump it.

Thanks for reporting this. I'll forward this information.
