Scrolling using the wheel on my mouse is a little funky on some windows, particularly in Firefox: the text jumps around a little and decorations (generally unwanted but present nonetheless) don't move as they ought to. Up till recently I did have a mouse without a wheel, which I liked, but such mouses(?) are no longer easy to get, and I have got to like using arrows. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
