Re: [h-e-w] mouse wheel button problem on Windows

[David Vanderschel]

I can't really help directly; but I can provide some possibly 
relevant info for comparison:

Running under Windows XP Home with Emacs 23.1.50.1, the behaviour 
I observe with mouse-2 (wheel) is what one would hope for:  Emacs 
sees the click immediately and behaves as advertised for Emacs. 
Other apps activate the AutoScroll as Drew describes.  At first I 
thought Drew's problem was almost certainly with the driver, not 
Emacs.  On second thought, it would appear that my Emacs must be 
doing something to assure that it gets the events directly 
without activating the AutoScroll mechanism.  (Speculation: 
Perhaps the initial driver install fooled with some relevant 
registry parameter (that controls whether or not apps can take 
precedence on handling the event) and the uninstall did not 
restore that setting.)

Regards,
 David V.

Subject: [h-e-w] mouse wheel button problem on Windows


I'm having this problem now (in all Emacs versions, on MS 
Windows):

  Clicking the mouse wheel in Win32 Emacs causes the little
  AutoScoll symbol to appear instead of pasting. If you
  click the mouse wheel again, the AutoScroll disappears
  and the pasting occurs. If you change the wheel click to
  anything other than the default, then pasting in Win32
  Emacs doesn't work at all (IIRC).
