If the hardware causes your issues? Have you talked to Logitech about your problem?

Please download the ebook, open in it in the viewer and in the initial screen scroll down to the link to chapter 2345. Try using you mouse wheel. |
Nope, not going to even think about doing a torrent or magnet download until I get home. The firewalls at work stomp on torrent transfers and I don't feel like modifying the firewall rules for my personal use. I had enough fun setting up the application and port rules to stomp filesharing apps. The BOFH is my hero!

And when you flip back it will flip to the top of the previos page but only of you scroll one line because if you scroll two lines y will take to the page before last and this will happen regardless of you type of mouse (***) and I ended up using the keyboard.

Infinite scroll? So you are feeding a mass of scroll wheel events without control and you want someone else to fix the problem caused by your "infinite scroll" being too stupid to stop at the end of a chapter? I've never liked infinite scroll on web pages either. One of the stupidest ideas invented.

Please understard I don't intend to start a fire with this. I just found a feature which in my particular circumstances behaves like a bug and I wanted to know if there was a way to disable it. If there isn't I will ask if there is any chance you'll consider it for implementation and that's it.

Given that in page mode, the scroll wheel moves in pages, I have trouble seeing how you are reading so fast you need to continuously feed scroll events. In flow mode, you do move in smaller jumps but given what the Logitech docs say about the G502, 3 lines per scroll event is going to flip lines lot faster than even I can read.
So hit the wheel mode shift button and use the standard scroll mode while reading. It's not that hard to click on the button just behind the scroll wheel.
However, since calibre is open source, feel free to modify the mouse event handling whether done in calibre or in QT to allow for your special case requirements. Adding the logic to let you scroll through a chapter but not allow that same scroll input to flip to the next chapter should be fun.
