Forum stops responding to scroll wheel, just me?

Chrome did this to me yesterday on a random Amazon page. Wouldn't work after reloading, so I just shut the browser and started again. Never had it since.
 
Yep happened to me too a few times.

I had to move the cursor to the scrollbar and click and drag like a bloody non-scrollwheel mouse owning peasant.
 
Very odd, yesterday I couldn't go up and down using page up/page down on my keyboard but could scroll with the trackpad. I had another tab open on OcUK and that worked perfectly. I've also seen it on other forums. Again, this is on Chrome.
 
its one of the many annoying chrome issues, started well after the forum changed for me.

Chrome has taken a nose dive over the last year.
 
LOL, this literally happened to me in a meeting the other day, I started faffing about reseating the mouse battery etc as it was a wireless mouse, I just assumed it was a hardware problem rather than Chrome! :)
 
Bug in Chrome. Really annoying bug in chrome.

Instead of reloading the page (which doesn't fix it) or closing and reopening the browser, try right clicking on the tab and choosing duplicate, then close the original tab. Much faster.

Or go to chrome://flags/#smooth-scrolling and disable it.

Issue is apparently fixed in Chromium 58 which should be released this week.

I first experienced this a few months ago, as using Chrome Canary - but hopefully now fixed (not noticed it in 60.0.3078.0)

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;
}

more white space at the sides of sites seemingly developed to run on the now defunct 4:3 monitor standard
 
yeah issue here as well , and on other forum sites , it seems to happen when you try and scroll when the webpage has not completed updating properly. restarting the browser tab seems to make it working again. Happening on Google Chrome on my works laptop , however doesnt seem to do this on my home PC

Great news. This affects me regularly and it's infuriating!!!

I posted this in the new forum bugs thread a few weeks ago, but only one person replied saying (s)he also had the same issue :(
