Problems scrolling in Open Office

Post by tomster2300 »

Hey,

I'm having some problems scrolling with my mouse wheel in Open Office 2.3.1. It's a Vista Home Premium 32 bit machine which I built with a wireless Microsoft Desktop 6000 set (keyboard and mouse). I thought it could have been the Microsoft intelli drivers which allow the extra functionality of the keyboard and mouse (buttons that open your browser, etc.), but I was recently forced to do a new install of Vista, and left off the desktop set drivers to see if they were the problem. Even without the drivers I'm still unable to scroll, so I'm hoping somebody here might have an answer.

I've only tried Writer, but I'm assuming this problem exists in all Open Office applications.

Thanks!

Could you please describe what you mean by problems scrolling? What behavior(s) are you seeing, exactly?
Cheers!

No problem, I should have been more specific. The scroll wheel on the mouse will hardly function at all while in writer. Before with the drivers it would erratically scroll a short distance if you jammed the mouse wheel up or down, but nothing remotely as to what it's supposed to be like. Now without the drivers I get a little smoother scrolling when I jam it (push it really hard), but still nothing like it's supposed to be.

The scroll wheel works fine in every other application, such as browsers and games, except Open Office.

Could it be the same issue as here : [Solved] Page up - page down does not work properly ?

Thanks to add '[Solved]' in your first post title (edit button) if your issue has been fixed.
