Weird Automatic Scrolling of Timeline

I am running Premiere Elements 11 on Windows 7, 64 bit, with all the latest updates.
I'm getting some weird automatic scrolling of the timeline happening.
When I hover the mouse pointer anywhere on the left side of the screen, (including over the "File" menu bar portion) the timeline automatically starts scrolling left.
When I hover the mouse pointer anywhere on the right side of the screen (like over the vertical scroll bar), the timeline automatically scrolls right.
The only way to stop the scrolling is to move the mouse pointer away from the sides of the screen.
This seems like an error -- but did I accidentally turn on some feature?
Any suggestions how to get proper control back?
Thanks,
Nick

Thanks for looking into this o promptly. It's in the middle of the clip I'm marking. It just happened again to me, and I'm paying a bit more attention to what happens when it occurs.
All is well as I'm working on a video track, using the "go to next/previous keymark" arrows, which moves the CTI. I want to fade to black so I right click and hold to drop the marker, but when I release the right mouse button, the diamond marker is "stuck" and moves left/right/up/down as I move the mouse. (unexpected behavior) I have to right click the mouse a couple of times to get it to release the key frame marker.
Now when I move the mouse to the far left to select the "next keymark" arrow, the CTI stays put on the timeline and scrolls off the screen on the right as I move the mouse to the left, dragging the whole timeline back to the beginning. The keyframe that I just dropped is somehow corrupt. The CTI won't land there if I click next/previous and if I put the CTI on top of it and try to delete it, it stays on the screen. Deleting the clip from the timeline and inserting it again (loosing my markers) returns me to a stable state.
I'm guessing it's a mouse driver. My PC is a Dell laptop and I'm using a USB connected mouse and keyboard, rather than the touchpad.

Mouse or trackpad automatically scrolls down the screen

Hello everyone. My mouse, without moving in the screen, automatically scrolls down the window I've got selected, don't know why. During this problem if I try to scroll upwards, it'll scroll down again, therefore I can't read websites, etc.
It happens for a few secs, and then becomes normal again automatically.
Any ideas or even better, solutions? Everything's updated, but it's really weird.
Thanks in advance, and sorry for my poor English, not my first language.

Don't worry about your english it's fine. English is my only language and I still have problems with it.
I'm going to take a wild stab at this as it happened to me some time ago. Do you have a pen tablet with the pen laying on the tablet?

'To do' list automatically scrolls up when I click on another iCal pane

Hi,
I've just begun using iCal, so forgive me if this topic has been covered before. (I did a search, but since I don't know how to describe the problem succinctly I didn't get any results.)
Here goes. Whenever I'm in the 'To Do' pane, say mid-way down the list, and then click the calendar pane my 'To Do' list automatically scrolls up to the top. When I go back to the 'To Do' pane and pull the list down to where I want to be and click on the item that I want to update, the list once again automatically scrolls to the top and I have to pull the list down one more time before I can alter it. It's very annoying and I can't find a way to fix it.
Any suggestions?

I can confirm this function. Also I wasn't able to find anyway for it to not do this.

Is it possible to disable the mouse automatically scrolling the video playback head?

Previous versions of iMovie allowed me to move the mouse without moving the playback head. Doesn't appear possible in '11. Can it be toggled?
Thanks.
Lindy

No. If I run the mouse over a video in iMovie, the video automatically scrolls along with the mouse. The audio skimming function (if on) allows me to hear the audio along with the video as it scrolls - a useful feature, but not what I'm trying to fix.
What I'd like to be able to do is turn all of that off so that the only way to play a video is to start it with the space bar.
As it is now, if I select a spot where I'd like to place a marker or split a video, I have to move the mouse in order to initiate the command that I want. But the moment I move the mouse to go to a menu, the video moves to a different place, making the edit more difficult.
iMovieHD ('08) did not have the scrolling function, and while I appreciate the usefulness of having it, I'm struggling with being unable to turn it off. I could play a video to the point where I wanted to edit it, fine tune the playback head location and perform the edit without so much as touching the mouse.
It's not that I'm incapable of doing what I need to do with iMovie the way it is. It just seems a bit tougher to accomplish these things with the scrolling when I don't want it to. Seems like it should be a Preferences setting or something. But I can't find it.
Thanks.

Scrolling of timeline

Hi everyone :")
Is it possible to switch off the scrolling of timeline during playback or record? Maybe someone know how to do this...

in the bottom right corner of the timeline area, click the icon with two vertical arrows pointing at each other.

Messages pane doesn't automatically scroll down

In Outlook Express, when the list of messages is from oldest to newest, as new messages arrive, the list of messages automatically scrolls down to display those new messages.
Out of the box, Thunderbird doesn't do that. You may be aware that there are new messages because Thunderbird has alerted you, but you don't see those messages until you manually scroll down.
Is there any way to get Thunderbird to mimic Outlook Express?

mailnews.default_news_sort_order; Value = 1
mailnews.default_sort_order; Value = 1
This means your default sort order is ascending.
(Value = 2 means descending.)
i'm wondering if you have something set to overrule the scroll to incoming new messages....Done some digging around and located this info....
If you have a setting that remembers the last selected message, it may be overruling incoming new messages. This would mean that you can continue reading mail from where ever you last stopped, even if new mails arrived. So, thunderbird may scroll initially on startup if new messages have arrived, but thereafter it might not auto scroll because of the setting to remember last selection.
So, I therefore think that if you want to remember last message you would not be using auto scroll, so the auto scroll would be false. However, you have this set to true and want auto scroll, so try to turn off the remember last message preference and note the effects.
Please check this setting in the 'Config Editor as before.
top search type 'remember'
mailnews.remember_selected_message
Value = true would switch on the remember last message and could be overriding the scroll.
Value = false (respectively switches off the preference).
Suggest you double click on the line to toggle to 'false'.
close the window - top right X
click on OK to save changes to Options.
Close and reopen Thunderbird.
If the effects of changing this do not suit you, change the setting back to 'true'.

The find function used to automatically scroll to the next word, now it doesn't. How do I fix it?

Hmm... you're right. I don't have access to that Google Doc, but our support.mozilla.com weekly metrics are on Google Docs, and I see the same issue there.
https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0Aibg4PvTbjUKcGlBLWEtZFhDTDJwN3ZCNXBUdTBIS0E&hl=en#gid=0
It may be specific to Google spreadsheets (and whether or not you have permission to edit the doc). I'm currently trying to find out if that's a Firefox bug, or a Google bug. If you use the '''Ctrl-F''' keyboard shortcut, Google's Find feature takes over, so they obviously want people using their Find utility.

How to automatically scroll text in JScrollPane

Hi there
I have a very simple question...
How to automatically scroll text in JScrollPane?
Text in the TextArea is constantly getting updated... but the scroll bars dont' move as the text changes. Instead I ahve to scroll and see the changes everytime. How can I make the viewport or the scrollpane to show the latest content?
Thanks in advance.
Dexter

This question is asked daily (it seems) on the forum. Hopefully the TextAreaScroll class will explain whats going on:
** Short answer is to use the following after the append:
** textArea.setCaretPosition(textArea.getDocument().getLength()
** However, if you really want to know what is going on, then I have
** I have observed the following behaviour in JDK1.4.2
** JTextArea will scroll automatically when text is appended, if:
** a) the caret is at the end of the text area, and
** b) the append is done in the event thread
** Note: Initializing a text area at creation time by any of the following
** aproaches will cause the caret to be positioned at the start and therefore
** scrolling will not happen automatically:
** a) JTextArea textArea = new JTextArea("Initial text", ...);
** b) textArea.setText("Initial text");
** c) textArea.read(someFile, null);
** The append method can be forced to execute in the Event thread by using
** SwingUtilities.invokeLater();
** Alternatively you can force a scroll by repositioning the caret.

Java based Chat console works fine, but does not automatically scroll down to last chat item

Hi,
I am currently facing a problem with a Chat program using jsp (Java Server Pages) where the chat console works perfect except for one little thing.
The chat window does not automatically scroll down to the last reply in the chat window.
the code used to scroll down to the last items (based on Netscape) is the following:
<pre><nowiki>if (navigator.appName.indexOf("Netscape") != -1) {
isOther = (navigator.appVersion.substring(0,1) == "3");
isNS4 = (navigator.appVersion.substring(0,1) == "4");
isNS6 = (navigator.appVersion.substring(0,1) == "5");
} else if (navigator.appName.indexOf("Microsoft Internet Explorer") != -1) {
isIE = true;
} else if (navigator.appName.indexOf("Opera") != -1) {
isOpera = true;
} else {
isOther = true;
if (navigator.platform.indexOf("Mac") != -1)
isMac = true;
if (isOther)
alert("Sorry but you will have to upgrade your browser to NS4+ or IE4+ for this to work properly.");
function setScrollProperties() {
if (isMac) {
scrollStart = 0;
scrollEnd = answerFrame.document.height - scrollStart;
} else {
scrollStart = 0;
scrollEnd = answerFrame.document.height - scrollStart;
function doScroll() {
documentYposition += scrollAmount;
window.scrollTo(0,documentYposition);
if (documentYposition < scrollEnd) {
setTimeout('doScroll()',slowScrollInterval);
}else if (moreScrolling){
moreScrolling = false;
scrolling = false;
startScroll();
}else{
scrolling = false;
}</nowiki></pre>
I cannot see what goes wrong in here and the manufacturer does not know how to fix this either.
Irritatingly this scrolling function is working normally in IE, Chrome and some other browsers.
I sure hope you can help me, as this is a very irritating problem that needs to be solved.
Best regards,
Corné Snoek

Hi,
sorry for such a late reply. I tried modifying the java bean to resize the JScrollPane object also but even that didn't work. Then I hardcoded the size of my Java Bean in my forms code by trial and error. For example, the size of the bean area was 381x169. The values that I had to pass to the "setSize" bean method were 510x195. This made the bean exactly fit the bean area. Seems crazy to me, but there it is.
Anyway, thank you.

Why the vertical scrollbar bar is automatically scrolled to the bottom pos.

I created a JScrollpane to contain a JTabbedPane. The JTabbedPane has two JPanel and each of them has a number of GUI components such as JCheckbox and JTextField. They have different size because their GUI components are different. The 2nd panel is about twice the size of the first panel.
When the JScrollpane is shown, its vertical scroll bar is automatically scrolled to the bottom position. However, it is the first panel that is initially visible to the user. So, the user will see no GUI components of the first panel because the auto scrolling of the vertical scroll bar.
Can anyone tell me how to disable the auto scrolling?
I just want to let the scrollbar knob stay at the top so that the GUI components of the first panel (the smaller one) can be seen initially!

Works fine for me:
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
public class TabbedPaneScroll extends JFrame
     private JTabbedPane tabbedPane;
     public TabbedPaneScroll()
          tabbedPane = new JTabbedPane();
          tabbedPane.setPreferredSize( new Dimension(300, 200) );
          getContentPane().add(tabbedPane);
          addNewTab( 10 );
          addNewTab( 5 );
          addNewTab( 20 );
     private void addNewTab(int fields)
          JPanel panel = new JPanel();
          panel.setLayout( new GridLayout(0, 1) );
          for (int i = 0; i < fields; i++)
               panel.add( new JTextField("" + i) );
          JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane( panel );
          tabbedPane.add(scrollPane, "" + fields);
     public static void main(String args[])
          TabbedPaneScroll frame = new TabbedPaneScroll();
          frame.setDefaultCloseOperation( EXIT_ON_CLOSE );
          frame.pack();
          frame.setLocationRelativeTo( null );
          frame.setVisible(true);
}If you need further help then you need to create a [url http://www.physci.org/codes/sscce.jsp]Short, Self Contained, Compilable and Executable, Example Program that demonstrates the incorrect behaviour, because I can't guess exactly what you are doing based on the information provided.
And don't forget to use the [url http://forum.java.sun.com/help.jspa?sec=formatting]Code Formatting Tags so the code retains its original formatting.

Table - Automatic scroll on changing the lead selection

Hi @ all,
I´ve got two tables and I want to add an entry from tab1 to tab2 if it is not existing in tab2. In case of an existing entry in tab2, the lead selection will be set on the entry in tab2 to show the entry. My Problem is the behaviour of the scroll bar in tab2. I need something like automatic scrolling to the lead selection of the table. Is that possible?
Armin

Hi Armin,
you can the use the proterty "First visible row" of the table.
create one attribute of type WDy_BOOLEAN and bind it to the "First visible row" of the table.
as soon as you set the lead selection,get its index and set it to the attributr that is( property "First visible row").
once this property is set , scrolling is done automatically and lead selected row is visible as first row.
I hope this resolves your issue.
Thanks,
Krishna

Automatic scrolling after several clicks in sidebar?

Hi,
To my annoyance, everytime I am reading a long document, clicking in the righthand sidebar to move down page by page, after a certain number of consecutive clicks the document starts racing by to its end with some sort of automatic scrolling.
Does anyone have an idea of how to switch this annoying feature off?
Thanks!
