S230u trackpoint scroll acting funny in Modern UI

Hi,
I just got my Twist and while using it I've noticed that when using the TrackPoint's scroll feature in the Modern UI or any Modern UI apps that it acts like I'm using the arrow keys, this is most evident in the Startscreen. It works as expected on the desktop and trackpad scrolling works as expected everywhere. The first thing I did when it got home was to run all the updates that everything wanted, so I am on the latest driver.
Anyone else experiencing this and does anyone know how to fix it?
EDIT alternatively since this is my first Thinkpad, is this behavior normal?
Solved!

I think this is normal. Frankly, if I'm using a modern UI program I'm probably scrolling by touching the screen anyway, so it isn't something I often notice.

Click wheel scroll acts oddly.

The scroll wheel on my iPod acts funny. Like, if you're scrolling through a long list and you're making lot's of spins, it just doesn't always register. It doesn't really have a very smooth scroll. I don't know how to describe it, but if you've experienced it, you know what I mean.
So has this happened to anyone? Or is this just something with my iPod?

Happened once when I first purchased it. Newbie glitch? Resetting the iPod fixed it. No problems since.

T60 Trackpoint Scroll Disfunctional when Switch User

I've been experiencing the issue where if a single user is logged into XP, the trackpoint scroll feature works flawlessly, BUT, if you use the XP switch user function and have 2 people logged in at the same time, the trackpoint scroll feature breaks down and doesn't work right.
This is what I've found (short of re-booting the system): User1 logged on --> Switch User to User2, the scroll feature will work, BUT if you Switch User back to User1 the trackpoint scroll doesn't work anymore So, to get it to work right for User1 again, Switch User back to User2 and Logoff --> Log back in with User1 and should work again.
I've done all the driver uninstall/re-install excercises and have tried the native synaptic drivers too.... This just seems to be the way this works (unfortunately).
Ironically, my old T30 had seemingly the same hardware, but I never had this problem with it... it was seemless when Switching Users. Funny, I bought a ThinkPad T because I love the trackpoint... I wish they would get it to work right
So, anyone else experience this? Any fixes?

Hi,
If you are using WAD, u have options "Number of data rows displayed at once" and "Number of data columns displayed at once" in the web item properties of the Table web item. There you can specify the count u want. This will surely get u the needed output wherein u can just scroll down/up/right/left according to ur convinience.
Assign points if this helps u...

Trackpoint scrolling on T21 not working

anyone know the best software for my T21's trackpoint
i cant seem to get the bottom button to act as a scroll wheel type thing
pls help
T42 - T21 - Tecra 8200 all xp

If you need to reinstall the Trackpoint driver for your unit, here is the link below:
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-4KMUYL
Download and save this file to the desktop and the open the folder and run the setup.exe file
You might also need the Trackpoint Accessibility Driver, which can be found here:
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-4Z9QVD
See if installing these two drivers will help you. If the drivers are installed correctly and you are still having problems with the trackpoint scrolling, it could possibly be a mechancial issue and the part would need replacement.
Let me know if this helps you any.

W520 TrackPoint scroll problems

Hello.
I am using a W520 i7 Win7 Pro 64 bit.
Can someone tell me why the TrackPoint scroll function doesn't work in some windows/applications? For example I cannot scroll folders in Windows Explorer.
I mean by holding the midle button and moving the track stick. Because by swiping two fingers on touchpad works great in same applications.
Thank you.

It should be the latest version because the Lenovo driver utility doesn't show any updates available. How to check ?!
It is strange because I am sure it didn't scroll before, now when I tested it did scroll in Windows Explorer but for example in programs like Adobe Dreamweaver it eider doesn't scroll at all or when it does, it acts like I would be pressing the up/down keys, moving the typing cursor up/down and causing some kind of a scroll.
I don't understand why is it so unreliable.

I have an IBM Think Pad and since installing the latest version of Firfox, the trackpoint scrolling on my mouse no longer works

I have an IBM Think Pad and since installing the latest version of Firfox, the trackpoint scrolling on my mouse no longer works

Try to modify the pref ui.trackpoint_hack.enabled on the about:config page from the default value -1 to 0 or 1 to see if that makes the scroll pad work. 
Close and restart Firefox after changing the pref.
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
*Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
*Preferences that have been modified show as bold (user set).
*Preferences can be reset to the default via the right-click context menu if they are user set
*Preferences can be changed via the right-click context menu: Modify (String or Integer) or Toggle (Boolean)

Trackpoint scrolling not working in Safari

I have an x61s running Windows Vista business (32 bit).
Problem is the trackpoint scrolling feature not working in Apple web browser Safari.
Somewhere on the web I found instructions for fixing this by editing file tp4table.dat located in c:/windows/system32
However, I cannot find any such dat file in that location.
I did find a file with that name in the following location:
C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\tp4track.inf_45c84db5\tp4table.dat
To this file I added the following lines:
;iTunes/Safari Scroll Fix
*,*,itunes.exe,*,*,*,WheelStd,0,9
*,*,Safari.exe,*,*,*,WheelStd,0,9
However, this did not help, trackpoint scrolling still doesn't work in Safari.
Does anyone have an idea how I can get this working?
Thanks

Hello, I was just wondering if you installed synaptics since most laptops use synaptic drivers, you can install it with:
pacman -S xf86-input-synaptics
This link is very helpful: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Touchpad_Synaptics
If you already had it and it didn't work I can help you later by checking my policies and compare it with you.

Why does a Flash movie whose frames were just cut & pasted on a new frame act funny when tested?

Why is that whenever I cut a frame, clear the frames in a timeline, paste it in new frame then test the clip, the whole thing starts to act funny?
I just don't understand why that happens - it's supposed to run smoothly though it's on a new frame, right? Is there a way to maintain the movie clip when tested though some frames were cut then pasted on a new frame?

I should've posted up screenshots of my project in the message but I thought the site wouldn't allow to post external links.
Anyway, when the frames are "as is", the file runs normally when tested...

But when I cut the frames in question, clear the frames, then paste them onto a new frame...
http://i429.photobucket.com/albums/qq19/tsujzpie/cutremovepaste.jpg
...the movie now acts weird. I just don't understand why - it shouldn't do that, right?

By the way, I used Flash Macromedia 8 for this - is that an issue related to this problem?

GNOME 3 acting funny when using RAM heavily

Hi,
I've been noticing that when I open many tabs in Chromium (and thus, being a very memory intensive app, it puts a lot of load into the RAM) GNOME 3 starts acting funny. Letters from labels disappear, such as the top bar menues are gone. The overall UI seems to work fine, except rounded corners and basically any letter in the Shell interface (Metacity labels and inner window content work fine).
This is a freshly installed system. 16 GB of swap and around 8 GB of RAM, so plenty of room for Chromium to have hundreds of tabs anyways. My graphics card is a 8800 GTS, with less than 256 MB (which could also be the issue).
But seriously, this is why I hate GNOME Shell so much. It looks alpha state! These kinds of bugs should not happen in a production environment
What can I do to help me troubleshoot the source? Any quick and dirty hacks?
I'll probably end up switching GNOME with Xfce if this keeps up like this

Pse wrote:How much free RAM is available when this starts happening? 8GB is a lot of RAM to fill with tabs. And even then, you have swap, so you shouldn't miss anything. This looks like some sort of bug. Are you sure this is Gnome's fault? It may be triggering a bug somewhere else.
I'm pretty sure it's Gnome's fault, however, I'm unable to replicate this.
I know it's Gnome's fault because, although not corrupting the labels again, the system feels somehow slower from time to time, in a direct relationship to how many Chromium tabs there are open (which was what caused the bug in the beginning) or otherwise, how many different app windows (so it's not just Chromium, but the whole system).
Could my system become slower when the RAM is 85% full than when it is only 25% full? Does that even make sense? Assuming swap is not being used (I have set it up so that it's only being used when RAM is 90% full or more).

Did you try using the forum search function?
I entered "scroll" and "itunes", without the quotation marks, and it presented me, amongst others, with the following thread as a possible solution;

"signatures" in Mail acting funny...

In Mail... since my last update, the "signatures" have been acting funny... The default comes up, but when I change the signature, the default stays there too!

Hello abachelorgirl,
It sounds like you would like to set a default signature for one of your email accounts. You will want to verify a few things in the Signatures Preferences.
In the left colum, you will want to make sure the email address in question is highlighted. The middle column should then list the name or label for that signature, and the right column is where you can edit the signature. I also recommend making sure the signature label is selected in the Choose Signature field when you have your email address highlighted in the left column.
You can also drag the signatures in the middle column to the email address in the left column if you need to move the signature to a different account.
You can find more information here:

Strokes are acting funny. Way too thin for the point size.

I'm on 5.5 and all of a sudden, when I apply a stroke to a photo frame, I'm not getting the width that the settings say.
For example, I place a picture on the page, I scale it, say 50%, then put a stroke on it. I barely can see it. I can put a 44 pt. stroke on it, and it looks like it's about 7 pts wide. I tried assigning it to the inside, outside, middle, same thing.
It's also doing that with the rounded corner trick. Click the yellow box, and start sliding a corner piont, and it's barely visible. I can assign a .5" rounded corner to the frame, and I can barely see the roundness.
It's crazy, and completely grinding my work to a halt.
Any ideas?

just normal, has no bearing on document size.
If I just draw a box with the box tool, strokes are normal.
It's only when I place a photo and reduce it in size do the strokes act funny.
It clearly has something to do with reducing the images.
I see there is a preference for scaling objects, and I tried both settings.
But the strokes act funny either way.

No TrackPoint Scroll and Brightness Control After Resume

Hello All,
I'm having an issue with my new x120e where after a couple suspend/resume cycles both the Trackpoint scroll function and the ability to adjust screen brightness no longer work. Using the Trackpoint only yields results as a pointing device, and trying to use the brightness controls does nothing--no on-screen brightness level display. I've searched the forums but couldn't find these exact issues, and I'm using the latest versions of the UltraNav driver and Utility.
Thanks!

hey cbolos,
check via http://support.lenovo.com and see that your Power Management software is at its latest version. If not, download and install.
if it is the latest, uninstall all UltraNav drivers+Utilities and the Power Management.
let window install its generic drivers. Test and see if it happens again

Screen Sharing started acting funny with both iChat and Back-to-my-Mac

For some reason my Screen Sharing, whether via iChat or BTMM, started acting funny: I still connect, but now my cursor shows up about 1" to the right of where it's actually pointing (i.e., if I position the cursor on one icon on the large size Dock, and click, it will start the icon to its left); and when I move the cursor, sometimes it appears followed by a trailing stream of cursors; finally, if I can manage to move a window on the screen, it looks like only half or so of the window moves, and the rest of the window stays put.
Anybody else experiencing this problem? Thanks in advance.

Ralph, you are awesome! Someone on the Remote Mac had done a <ctr>l plus <alt> plus "+" and zoomed up the screen once or twice. When I turned Zoom off in System Preferences Universal Access, things went back to being ok.
Thanks so much for the advice. I live in Texas and the remote iMac (with my octogenarian parents) is in Iowam so you saved me!
