scrolling issues

[bkeller]

I was having some strange problems with all office applications. The
documents that I was in were automatically scrolling to the bottom. I
couldn't stay at the "top" of the document. I closed out of everything and
went back in and it seems ok now.
Is this some sort of bug?

What shape was the mouse pointer when this happened? It sounds like you
triggered Screen roll which is controlled by whether the mouse is above or
below the centre point (the larger the distance, the faster the scroll).

I am having the same type of problem but it is not Screen roll. As this is
usually stopped with Esc button. This won't stopp even with starting and
stopping Word.
It staops when the mouse moves off the page but restarts when hovering over
the page.

The cursor is thenormal arrow shape

For some bizarre reason, it's comforting to know that others are having
similar issues. Takes me out of the Twilight Zone I guess. I am having
issues with scrolling on two new laptops that I bought within a couple of
months of each other, both with Windows Vista Premium and Word 2007. If I
get the page to the place I want on the screen, as soon as I start to move my
cursor to the point where I want to start, the page sooms in the opposite
direction. If I want to see the bottom of a page and click on a certain
part, I go to click, and I'm suddenly at the top of the page. Ditto for
trying to click on something at the top of the page. It happens in Word, in
Excel, on the Internet, everywhere. I have adjusted the speed of my cursor.
The cursor is the default cursor [the arrow], and yet it makes no difference.
This page, where I'm writing about the problem is the ONLY place where I'm
not getting any scrolling problems!

So, anyone out there know about this? Sometimes it just drives me nuts and
my productivity goes way, way down, or I have to turn off the computer and do
something else because it's too frustrating to work with. Ugh. Word 2007.
I've basically mastered it with the aggravation I never knew with previous
editions of Word. Ugh. Arrrgh. Help.

If these laptops have Synaptic Touchpads, then they are far more complex
than most users realise. If you go to the control panel and select the Mouse
applet, it opens the Synaptic setup. Click the last tab to the right and
start reading. This may look like a help page, but in reality it is has
highly complex settings for the touchpad. Personally, I have deselected
(disabled) many of these features and slightly desensitized the touch
senility. I have only enabled the Glide function and a couple of
double-click corner functions for Go Forward and Go Back. The other settings
I intend to enable one at a time and experiment with until I find out if
they are useful.

I am new to the touchpad having recently purchased a Netbook and when I
started having strange effects using the touchpad, I started looking deeper
into its settings. I have to say it is a nightmare of over-complexity: I am
sure it is far too clever for its own good! What with vertical and
horizontal scrolling, single and double-click sensitive corners, gliding,
bouncing, zooming and amazing gesturing, I think I need a brain transplant.

Senility... a Freudian attempt by the spell checker to correct my mistyping
sensitivity!
