Am using XP Home, IE 6 w/ SP2, MS Wireless Optical Mouse
Blue, point32 driver-version 5.0.174.0, mouclass driver-
version 5.1.2600.1106 (xpsp 1.020828-1920).

Whenever I single click (left button default action) in
the scrollbar of IE6, it reacts as if I double clicked.
This ONLY happens in IE. Windows Explorer and Office
documents and other programs react fine.

Very annoying as I now have to use page down keyboard
button instead of mouse. Or, simply miss every other page
of data.

Help!
 
This seems to be a bug introduced by Cumulative Security
Update 824145. Remove this update (in Control Panel,
Add/Remove Programs) and all should be OK.

It's a silly little bug that should have been spotted in
simple regression testing.

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
