Mouse Wheel Oddity

BeeTee-Ess · 02-04-2012, 06:51 PM

I use a Logitech Mouse, and the Logitech SetPoint mouse control package in a Windows 7 PC.

When I want to scroll down my calibre library list, I automatically use the mouse wheel to do so, and it works fine.

However, if I want to scroll up, rather than down the library list, by rolling the wheel the other way, it does not work properly. It continues to scroll down.

I have experimented, and found that if I hold the shift key down (which is not usually necessary), the scroll function works correctly in both directions.

Can someone please confirm this behaviour, or is it just my setup?

Is this perhaps a quirk of the programming package used to develop calibre?

it is not a calibre bug.
logitech software is a bit flaky, as is the mouse wheel on their MX anywhere mouse; but I can scroll both ways with my logitech MX570 trackball wherl using Win 7 & latest setpoint software. the MX mouse wheel scroll is awful in calibre but its awful in other programs also & logitech discussion boards / google confirm that other users have this issue.
But hey - it works smoothly on my glass desktop so I forgive the scroll issue & forgive the horrible battery short life also, f
