Do you have special mouse/scroll software installed? If, which one and
whose? Did you try reinstalling it after you installed SciTe?

I did notice a scrolling problem, but it is not that bad: I'm using a
marble mouse that doesn't have a scroll wheel at all, so I had to
install Logitech's software to turn a scroller on and of with the
fourth mouse button. That works everywhere else, but not in SciTe -
the scroll bar moves, but nothing happens...
[Not having scroll wheel drives me nuts, but that was the only
pointing device we had of this type that fitted for left hand; a new
'marble' of different brand, with a scroll wheel, has been ordered!]


When I first installed the documented combo at ConTeXt User Meeting, I
was successfully using a Logitech Bluetooth Travel mouse, but I did
*not* have the Logitech software in the laptop.
I cannot recall having problems with the right-handed cordless marble
mouse, either, not even after installing Logitech Setpoint, it
scrolled fine with the scroll wheel - I was quite happy with
everything until my elbow forced me to switch to left-handed mousing
for now.
NB. These experiences were like two beta versions ago, don't know if
that makes any difference... I didn't put any external mouse on my
test bench computer I used to check the wiki instructions, so I can't
say anything about it. If the computer is still on my desk when I'm
back at the office on Monday, I can test it a bit, we've got plenty of
'normal' mice floating around.


Hans also uses a scroll mouse with his Windows+SciTe combo, so usually
these work. My first guess would be some kind of conflict between
mouse software and SciTe, but I might be wrong.


BTW, if you remove SciTe with the lexers and stuf and reinstall it,
but don't put lexers and ConTeXt modifications in the SciTe directory,
what happens then?



Just my 5 cents,

Mari
