frozen mouse while scrolling

[nicrnicr]

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

nicrnicr;

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"
