On a page with scrollbars, when I press the middle mouse button, I get a "tool" to scroll the page by moving my mouse.
How do you completely disable this functionality? I only activate it by mistake and it is never what I want.
I've read suggestions to disable this feature in the control panel, but my SetPoint settings are already set to treat the button as a "Generic Button". I also don't have the option to define set up application-specific profiles as mentioned in the Google+ post linked above.
"On a page with scrollbars..." Where's the page? Which apps do you see this behaviour in? For example, if you middle-click in a Win Explorer folder with scrollbars, does that auto-scroll too? Even with no special mouse drivers/software installed and using the generic Windows drivers, some apps still auto-scroll. Most browsers support this feature natively, as also apps like Word, Wordpad etc. When it's an app feature, obviously the app needs to support disabling it. Firefox does (look under
Options / Advanced / General / Browsing
), but haven't found any way for most other apps yet. – Karan – 2013-03-08T00:39:01.667@Karan My question is specific to Chrome. The tag was removed by another user. I'll look into it once I'm back home. – Der Hochstapler – 2013-03-08T19:16:05.527
