IE7 Mouse Issue and Print/Fax Issue

by johnb1 Oct 19, 2006 9:48AM PDT

Hello - I've installed IE7 and two things I'm noticing: When I use the scroll wheel on the mouse, the window rolls too much - either keeps moving down or up, even if I only move the wheel a little. Is there a way to stop that?

Also: - I used to get a little "icon thing" that would pop up and let me "save, print or email" if I moved the cursor over an image - it's gone. Does anyone know if there's a way to turn that on, or is that not available in IE7?
Thanks for any help you can give,
John

Unfortunately no...

I consider the scroll function to be flawed in IE7. Whenever I use the scroll wheel on my mouse it will hesitate and then start scrolling down in chunks...it scrolls 1" then pauses for a second and then does it again. It also scrolls down about twice as far as it should when compared to IE6, Firefox, etc. However, if I use the scroll wheel on my keyboard it works perfectly. As far as I can tell, though, there's no fix.

In regards to the 'easy menu' that used to pop up when hovering over a photo, it's not an option any longer. Now you must right-click and select from the menu.

Feel free to rant: What do you like/dislike about Internet Explorer 7?
