Forum stops responding to scroll wheel, just me?

Dano · 23 Apr 2017 at 16:19

Ever since the forums were upgraded I find that they occasionally stop responding to input from the scroll wheel on my mouse, it is only OCUK forums that do this, sat here right now and it's just done it, the other tabs I have open in chrome all respond just fine and I can still scroll by dragging the scroll bar, is it just me?

Happened to me yesterday (Chrome). I can't remember it happening previously.

I also had the forum open in other tab and scrolling still worked there.

I think it's a browser thing, I've had it happen on half a dozen forums in the last week or so since there was an update to Chrome.

It would stop working on one forum, but work on others then suddenly start working on the original forum and stop on another.

I thought it was my mousewheel at first.

Yup, happened here as well.

Here too. Thought my mouse was in it's way out.

Same for me. Chrome.

People still use scrollbars these days? Even on desktop?

I just stick this into my userChrome.css (browser master-over ride cascading style sheet).

It hides the scrollbars = more screen real estate

Code:

#content browser {
 margin-right: -18px !important;
 margin-bottom: -18px !important;
 overflow-y: scroll;
 overflow-x:hidden;
}

~~It's about the scroll wheel, not the scroll bar?~~ nvm missed op mentioning it

But yeah I've noticed it too.

Me also, for about 6 weeks.

Happened a few times on my laptop using chrome, thought windows had messed the driver up for finger gestures on the trackpad.

No problems here

(using w10 with IE 11 & Logitech G900 mouse)

Droolinggimp · 23 Apr 2017 at 17:26

Mine just did it. I closed browser and loaded it again and it was fine.

Diddums · 23 Apr 2017 at 17:31

All the time. Seems to happen if I'm scrolling when a page is still loading.

Puzzled · 23 Apr 2017 at 17:48

Talking of chrome, have they changed something quite major recently as a few sites that I haven't been to for a while are now a bit broken

Started happening to me a few weeks ago on the Pistonheads forums. Has only done it occasionally on OcUK. Also using Chrome here.

Mr-White · 23 Apr 2017 at 17:52

This started last night for me too with Chrome Version 57.0.2987.133 (64-bit)

Happens with Opera which is also Chromium based. If you scroll the mouse wheel at some point before the page finishes loading then it will happen. Not a problem specific to OCUK forums as it happens with any other web page. "Should" get fixed quickly if it's affecting many users although the last page flickering bug took months.

It's a Chromium bug

No problems at all with Firefox.
