very anoying *feature* if you call it that

[smeezekitty]

i need help disableing this:
this computer runs XP and IE8 and FF2
this happens in IE AND FF:
if you press the shift key when turning the scroll wheel
it jumps to some random place in history and ruins what i am doing
i tend to press shift alot and i use the scroll wheel to scrol the page
it should never go BACK and FOREWORD because of this

[Broni]

Pressing SHIFT while turning a wheel doesn't have any effect in my Firefox.

[BC_Programmer]

odd, it seems to do it in mine. (Version 3.5.2)

[Broni]

Hmm....same version here...

In IE8, when I hold Shift, scrolling is locked.

[patio]

Does nothing here either...

[BC_Programmer]

it's related to an add-on- shift-wheel in FF safe mode changes text size.


Smeezekitty, list your add-ons/extensions.

[smeezekitty]

i do not know how to list the add ons
also suckinet explorer does it too

[Broni]

CTRL + wheel changes the text size

[Broni]

Close Firefox. Go Start>All Programs>Mozilla Firefox, click on Mozilla Firefox (safe mode). Same thing?

it's really quite simple. you look at your installed add-ons, and you list them.

"Listing" of items is done by looking at each item, and then translocating each character from that addon/extensions name to another location- Ideally in this case your next post.

Lists are often presented in a tabular format, for example:

- item 1
- item 2


you could even opt for bbcode, if you felt like it:

• item 1
• item 2

the world is your burrito.

Try Firefox (safe mode) first. If the problem is not there, then there is some add-on doing it.

To list your FF info...

Download FoxScan from HERE, or HERE
Double click on FoxScan.exe to start the scan.
DOS-like window will pop-up.
Press 2 for English. Press Enter.
Be patient. It'll take few minutes.
When the tool is done, it'll display:

Search completed.
Press any key to coninue...

Press any key.
Notepad window titled Rapport-FS.txt will open.
Save the file to known location, and attach it to your next reply.

Or you could take the lazy way out and just run the link broni provided.


But I think practice translocating characters never hurts. 

[smeezekitty]

in FF safe mode its faster but still does that stupid history scan

[Broni]

...and you're saying, same thing happens in IE8?
If so, it can't be browser problem.

[smeezekitty]

IE7 actually
and its not technically a problem its actully a feature to try to
help (?) somone navigate the web
but its so easy to do acidentally
by the way
