Scroll Wheel not supported?

[picnichouse]

Hey,

How come I can scroll through my list of records with my scroll wheel? Anyone else have this problem?

If you mean "can't", is your Status Area hidden and locked?

My wheel on my mouse and keyboard does not scroll in filemaker however they both work on all other programs (word, excel, safari, entourage and first edge) This problem started when I upgraded to OSX with FM 6.0. The wheel worked fine on FM 6.0-OS 9. I am running intelpoint 5.0 and I have reinstalled it once, that did not fix the problem. I have reported the bug to FIleMaker.

I think it might be an OS X thing. I have the same problem with my Kensington mouse.

I'm new to FM and this was one of the many reasons I found the software difficult to get into. I can't believe they released it without such a fundamental feature. Is there some sort of patch?

I just discovered my wheel does not work in first edge. It does work in all microsoft programs and safari. I believe this may me bigger than FileMaker, but still related.

Sorry for the wrong info in my last post

Well I haven't found any other applications with unexpected scroll wheel non-support yet, nor any applications where when you grab the scroll bar and move it to the top, the list view doesn't actually quite go to the top, so you have to nudge it up a bit with the scroll arrows.

The Apple way has always been that things should look good and work intuitively right from the start, so how come Filemaker looks rubbish and works unintuitively by default? (I thought they had strong links with Apple)

Apparently not strong enough. Apple owns FileMaker, yet it is a separate business. I just got a new 1.25 MHz eMac. I'm having some Layout mode problems, with portals especially. The lines and text go all pixelated; as well as the items in Menus. Pretty bad, but unique to this computer (graphic card); I have an older eMac with a different card which does not have the problem at all. The tech support of each company say it's the other guy's fault, if there's anything wrong, but they don't think there is. Great. It must be my eyes -|
