So.. I installed the latest version of Thunderbird recently, and after all the trouble I had doing an upgrade a while back, this time I did a totally new installation, from scratch.

It still sucks. Sorry, but it does. A few nice features, but overall I hate it and much preferred the older version.

But anyway. I'm sticking with it. The biggest problem I had with it was that my scroll wheel just didn't work: No matter what I did, I couldn't scroll up or down the page.

But this was minor, and I figured I'd find some fix eventually.

But a minute ago, I just upgraded Firefox to the latest version. And suddenly, the scroll wheel was broken for FF too.

Now *that* is a problem. Never mind scrolling through pages, I use Mouse Gestures nonstop when browsing - I literally can't bear browsers that don't have this feature. No scrollwheel = No Firefox. It's that serious.

So I did some research, and my God there's a lot of people have scroll wheel problems with Mozilla software.

None of the fixes they mentioned worked for me, tho. Until I finally tracked it down.

I have an app. called Katmouse installed. It gives you a "focus follows mouse" functionality that I hate not having in Windows (It's built-in on Linux :P ) but disabling this app. made scrolling work in both FF and TB.

But I hate not having Katmouse working. Luckily, it's possible to configure Katmouse to ignore certain applications, and once I had set this up, I have globally-sorted scrolling on every application. Except I can no longer scroll a Mozilla app. without clicking on the window first.

I have no idea what Mozilla have done to mouse handling to break it on both apps, but I'm really quite disappointed that I've had to resort to this. Every other app. I have installed works fine, and both FF and TB *used* to - why has an upgrade bollixed it all up?

Sigh.
