Double-scrolling in IE6

[Pete]

IE6
Ver: 6.0.2800.1106.xpsp2.030422-1633CO
128-bit
Update Versions: SP1, Q328970, Q324929, Q810847, Q813951, Q813489, Q330994,
Q818529, Q822925, Q828750, Q824145
OS: XP Pro

My browser has just developed a "glitch" when I'm scrolling. When I do a
single-click in the scroll bar itself (not on either the UP or DOWN arrows
at the top and bottom) I get the equivalent movement of having done a
double-click on the scroll bar. This applies when I do a single-click in the
scroll bar for either up or down movement. My mouse is a Logitech TrackMan
Marble FX, driver ver. 9.41.

I don't think it's the mouse because I'm not having this double-scrolling
problem in any other program, only in IE6.

Can anyone offer any suggestions for a resolution?

Thanks,

Fix for the recent scroll problem.
In display/appearance/advanced change the
scrollbar to size 1. This way you will be forced
to use the keyboard and/or mouse wheel to scroll.
--------------------------------------
position cursor 'close' to the top/bottom of the
slider and it will scroll one window. farther away
from slider and it will scroll farther.

press on actual slider and it slides as you move mouse
(desktop computer...laptop will be using the button
or touchpad)

might 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
-----------------------------------------

A bug in the Q824145 patch. Microsoft knows about it.
Click immediately under the slider in the scrollbar or drag the slider.

This problem was discussed in Woody's Windows Watch a

couple of days ago. It is a result of the
recent "critical security patch" that you just installed.

We are all having the same problem. Microsoft doesn't
admit it yet (at least not to me).

Until they get around to fixing it, click close to
the "knob" (right above or below it), use the "knob" to
drag up or down, or click on the arrows.

Ain't this fun?

Thank you all for your replies. Now I know it's not either me or the machine
but Microsoft!! LOL
