Others have noted clicking in the scrollbar area causes
the screen to skip more than one screen. I have a new
optical wireless mouse and spent hours trying to tweak
it, thinking that it was probably the problem. Then my
husband asked what he was doing wrong because clicking in
the scrollbar...
At least the workaround works! (clicking close to the
control or dragging it)
There's at least one other anomaly:
If the toolbar is set for "Auto Hide", you have to
click in a page to get the pointer to nudge it back into
view.
One other note:"Sub" scrollbars don't seem to be
affected.
Glad it's a known problem. However, I can't find the
KB article that addresses it. Hope there's a fix soon.

"No one knows you're a dog when you sit at the computer."

BTW, husband's working on a laptop, not my desktop and
has the same thing happen. I still can't find an article
or note that says Microsoft knows about this. Does it?

Microsoft knows about it by now.

might also try using the..
up/down arrow keys (adjust in keyboard properties
window).
pageup/pagedown keys do what is obvious.
home/end keys are too good to be true.

right click scrollbar
menu pops up
select an option

apparently the fix will be on Windows Update soon.

If you think logically (illogically?) about what's
happening...

If you click the area just under the scroll bar the
browser may "think" that you only want to scroll down one
page. If you click the area farther down it may "think"
that you want to scroll to that area immediately. If you
click the area just above the bottom of the scroll, it
scrolls to the end of the page.

Annoying? Yes. Is the fix confirmed for Windows Update?

Remove the hyphen from my email in order to respond.

Thanks!
