https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=227423 Summary: Spurious mouse clicks while scrolling backward with mouse wheel. Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel AssignedTo: kernel-maintainers@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: andreas.pfaller@gmail.com QAContact: qa@suse.de When scrolling with the mouse wheel (only while scrolling backwards) some apps receive spurious mouse click events (like clicking with the left button) leading to randomly selected items or text. This seems to be timing dependent since I can only observe this behavior when the scrolling by the app is CPU intensive, e.g. - In kmail scrolling in a single large text message (in the message pane) works fine but scrolling in either the message list or folder list causes constant selection of either a message or folder. - Scrolling a web page in Firefox randomly selects text (sometimes even a short time (0.5-1 s) after I have stopped scrolling with the wheel) - Scrolling in rxvt-unicode oder konsole works fine (even if I select text before scrolling it remains selected so no spurious clicks happen). My mouse is a MS Intellimouse Optical 1.1A USB/PS2 model but a Logitech mouse I used as a test showed the same problems. Both were connected via PS2. Further tests showed that this only happens if my mouse is connected via my KVM (an old Cybex Switchview 4-port PS2 KVM). However I have been using this KVM since several years with many different OS's, e.g. SuSE since 6.x, QNX, Windows, FreeBSD and several others and never had any problems. It also happens if the SuSE 10.2 system (Athlon XP X2 3800) is the only connected system (and therefore the mouse is never switched to another system). The behavior is 100% reproducible. I am assigning this to the kernel component but this could certainly also be caused by X. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
