arrow scrolling doing funky

[runeazn]

So when i use down arrow key to scroll it will go at once to the end of the page,
whichever the up arrow keys does it normal, in steps.

Why is my down arrow doing funky..?
It happends on all keyboards, so its something software right?

So can anybody help me fix this.

[woody]

Change app/OS.

[runeazn]

I need some fix so anybody know the problem?

[woody]

Refer to post #2. Or hit the power swtich.

[runeazn]

This is something that happens always..
so a simpel restart is nto going to fix it.

[runeazn]

Without hopefully sounding quite as mean as ripster ( =P ), that's really the sort of thing that you should have posted first, as that means it's not only software, but probably specific to a setting or addon in firefox and nothing else, if that's the only place you're experiencing this behavior.

Actually I just found the solution

(for FF 3.5 on Mac)
Preferences -> Advanced -> General -> Accessibility -> UNCHECK Always use the cursor keys to navigate within pages

If you have a blinking cursor icon on your page that jumps around oddly when you navigate with mouse keys, then it's this. It works the same in FF 4 on Windows, I just loaded FF and tested.

People still use Firefox?

You didn't reinstall the OS to be absolutely sure? There could be stuck bit in the ALU too

Since Opera decided to screw up the interface, vimperator is the only solution. The final solution.

[ch_123]

Well, I only started using Opera when they made the interface sort of like Chrome's. I know some people who have the newer versions modded to behave like the older ones though.

Cool, modded how? I especially don't like how the page find (CTRL+F) bar thingie is.

[ch_123]

'Modded' is probably hyperbolic. I know they have the key mapping the same as the older versions, but they also have some aspects of the interface changed around from what is normal. Dont really remember what though.

One of the reasons I didn't like Opera in the older versions was because of the Internet Explorer-like box when you hit Ctrl-F. I usually use / for finding stuff, and I have no problems with that.

That was one of the best features! / for search only works properly in vimperator (with the exception of all the colours and incremental search). The bottom bar doesn't work when it's a widget which can lose focus.

Good find.

Mean people suck.

<3 But life would be too boring without thems =(

rofl. To be sure, do a low level format first too, and wipe and reload any firmware on... anything (most people manage the LLF fine but forget to wipe their hard drive and CDROM firmware). Remove your memory for 12 hours to make sure there's nothing residual there from microvoltage retained in any capacitors on the motherboard. BTW, that speaker connected to your motherboard? It's completely usable as a microphone D: Whenever you have strange scrolling behavior it's really due to the NSA hacking the planet. Definitely destroy the speaker, I recommend fire. Oh wait, you don't have a headset you keep plugged into your motherboard, do you? Oh noes =( Black helicopters, they's for coming for yous.

I used my headset to record my bass once. Probably in a registry now

lol it didn't work :/

[ch_123]

If possible, download an image of Ubuntu Linux, burn it onto a CD, boot into the Live 'try out' mode, and check if you have the same problems with Firefox there. That would tell you if it's a software or hardware problem quite quickly.

[taswyn]

Well, at least it's not that then. You're sure it's not happening in any other software? Do you have any addons loaded in FF?

Try loading Firefox (not windows) in its Safe Mode, switch to the default theme, and see if the problem goes away, similar to this support incident and the instructions for setting default theme in it.

I can look around some more, but probably not tomorrow, I have a ton of cooking and holiday stuffs to do and that being around not online people thing and such =P

When did the behavior start appearing?

Well, that was certainly mean Taswyn.

Oh quit being jealous, if you're *very* good this year I might be a little mean to you too. Maybe, I'll have to think about it.






But I'll probably not bother even then really, I'm not that nice =/
