[9.0b2] Scroll with middle button works only after F1/Esc

The behaviour described in the bug report is either by design, or would be far too complex/time-consuming to be changed

[9.0b2] Scroll with middle button works only after F1/Esc

Post by *MVV »

It is quite strange and I've never seen this behaviour before. Middle click does nothing.. until I press F1 and close help! After closing help it works just as it should.

I can reproduce it in 9.0b2 x86/x64 and also in 8.52a x86/x64,and in 8.01... with clean INI too.

Middle mouse button works fine e.g. in browser.

I guess that the MS HTML viewer calls a function which enables this middle button scrolling method, since it does work in the help. So far I couldn't find a system call which does this. Any ideas?

Btw, this must have been caused by a Windows update - middle button scrolling worked out of the box in earlier versions of Windows 7 and 10 here...

I have no ideas too... And I remember that it have worked in the past (I don't use such scrolling often so don't know when it become broken). If I find some details, I'll report here.

I haven't mentioned it: Win7x64 SP1, updates are disabled.

petermad,
We still don't know how to fix it and what causes it so it is not so easy to fix...

Unfortunately I couldn't find any function to handle this, so I'm moving it to "will not be changed" for now, sorry.

Why you decided not to use auto open/close of invisible CHM help on TC start?

You can't open it hidden in the context of Total Commander. The help is opened with the HtmlHelp function. It doesn't have a parameter to open it hidden or minimized.
