    frozen mouse while scrolling

    Hello everybody :-)

    At least with firefox too often the mouse is frozen while I*scroll. Please how can I*get the mouse allways moved while scrolling?

    This has began to happen to me with Firefox(r) in the last update (ver 55.0.2) . I don't have a permanent fix, but:

    I can tap the up/down arrow keys on the keyboard and restore mouse scroll wheel response.

      I appologize in advance.

      If your mouse refuses to move, introduce it to a cat. Guaranteed that mouse will move very quickly!

        My cat and mouse arrived at the same time and are best-buds. Often find the cat curled up around the mouse.

        Is there a cat union which whom I can lodge a labor dispute? I suspect they are both non-Windows certified.

          Thank you TWPonKubuntu for you answer and Snowhog for your joke :-)
          I will try to downgrade FF. Because I*have another problem with this FF and an add-on.

            Hi TWPonKubuntu & Snowhog,
            I found why the cursor often don't move while scrolling. My mouse is in the keyboard and there is a vertical special place right which is exclusively reserved for scrolling. On this area the cursor don't move, only the window.
            Cheers

              I think you are talking about a "touch pad", and not a "mouse".

              We usually mean that the mouse is a separate device, either wired or wireless, which we push around with our hand. Some of these have a scroll wheel, between the left and right buttons. I see where we were giving advice that did not work for you.

              Glad you solved the problem.

                I though he was referring to the twiddle stick in the middle of the Lenovo keyboard.

                  Could be, except that he said there is a "special place" on the right side which allows scrolling. That sounds like my laptop touchpad, on which the right side let me swipe up/down to scroll the screen, without moving the cursor.

                  I disabled my touchpad because I kept tapping it with my thumbs while trying to type on the keyboard... Yeah, I'm "all thumbs"
