Scroll Bar click equals two pages

[Tinga]

An annoying glitch has occurred in my IE 6.0. When I
click the gray portion of the scroll bar, it should
advance the page, up or down, only one page.

All of a sudden, it is advancing the page approximately
two pages. I cannot find any options or preferences to
correct this. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 6 SP1
(KB824145)created this problem for me. I reinstalled /
repaired IE 6 sp1, did windows updates one update at a
time until I identified the culprit.

I would like to know how to install the update and work
around the problem.

OS is w2k w/Office xp. Page Down in scrollbar works
properly in all other applications except IE6.

Hi Tinga and Bill - Bill is correct - this is a bug in the Q824145 Cum
"hotfix". MS is aware of the problem. Until they issue an update to fix
it, you can just drag the slider or just click immediately under it.

You can use SPACE to go down one page and SHIFT-SPACE to go up one
page. This is what I am doing while the scroll click is broken to
keep my hair, sanity, etc.

Unless your PageUp/PageDown keys are broken, is there some advantage to
using these other keys -- that I'm obviously unaware of, and which most
people would never even think of -- to achieve the same function?

Joe,

Ease of use. On most computers the space bar is a huge key at the
bottom of the keyboard easily accessible by both hands. The page up &
down keys on my laptop are tiny little keys up in the corner.

Hi.. Regarding this problem... clicking in the vertical scroll bar
path and having the page advance TWICE, instead of just once... I
spoke to a MS rep on the phone just moment ago, and was told that they
have no record of this problem, and therefore no fix on the horizon.
Does anyone know for sure if MS is aware of this, and if a "fix" is
underway? If so...where can I obtain the fix for it.

thx

Yes, the IE team knows about it. I don't think the Help techs even actually
work for Microsoft.

Paul,

The problem is due to a bug introduced in the latest security patch,
Q824145. You can either work around the problem or uninstall the patch.
For details on both, check out:

I must say that I find it disheartening that MSFT told you they have no
record of the problem. Hardly a day goes by without several complaints
posted here. The MS-MVPs who post to this board regularly have claimed that
MSFT "is aware of the problem," though I have not seen any official
acknowledgment in the KB as yet. Perhaps I am looking in the wrong place.
Or perhaps MSFT is simply stonewalling.
