Update: Solution to the Google Chrome mouse scroll issue
Check update 3 below for a possible solution to the Google Chrome scroll mouse issues
I’ve been noticing since morning that I’ve been getting a lot of hits from search engines for the phrases “google chrome scroll mouse” and ”google chrome scroll mouse issue“. This is actually surprising because I’ve found no problems with using the scroll mouse on Google Chrome and I’ve been using Google Chrome since it released on September 2nd. Is there a problem? Can someone who’s facing a problem comment and let me know as to what the problem is?

Update 1: I am able to scroll up and down with a scroll mouse as well as with the touchpad on my laptop (mine is a Dell Inspiron 6400). Here’s a hastily taken video of me scrolling up and down!

Comment from dudge669: I downloaded the newest version of Microsoft’s “Intellipoint” mouse drivers and I can now scroll both directions and the downward scrolling doesn’t jump half the page like it did before either. Another side effect to this though that didn’t exist before installing the newest Intellipoint drivers is that like msujaws just mentioned, I can’t click down on the mouse wheel to scroll (but I never did that anyway). It might just be because of the new Intellipoint driver’s “instant window view” feature which is actually pretty cool.
Bottom line: If you’re having trouble scrolling down in chrome, update your mouse / Intellipoint drivers!
