Unable to scroll
 
Hello,

I wasn't able to find anything on the Winamp forums nor Google. I went trough all the FAQs, Help Docs, Tech supports greatest hits, I tried searching but still nothing.

See I got this lame ass problem, whenever I want to scroll down my playlist, I have to click a song of course, to make the window active. The kicker here, though, is that after I've clicked the song and scroll, I scroll the song itself downwards or upwards, the window itself does not move.
I've never had this problem before, and I haven't made any noticeable software/hardware changes for ages. I think I got it after I updated to the newest version(5.54) from god knows what version I had. Also tried re-installing but didn't seem to work either.

If anyone would like to give me a hand here that would be great. <3

Cheers,
twizz

Known issue and not specific to ver. 5.54

Known workaround

The Known Workaround link from the quote points to a app called KatMouse. KatMouse will give scroll wheel focus to the panel/pane, window or application the mouse is hovering over. Works great in Winamp skins, even in SUI (single user interface) skins like Bento.

Unless, I have misunderstood your post.

That's not the case I'm afraid.

If you choose the Winamp Classic skin and highlight a song to make the window active so that I can scroll it's like the scroll is dragging the song title name up and down.

If the Winamp list shows from song 250-300 and I try to scroll with a song highlighted in blue, it remains at 250-300 but the highlighted song will be moved up or down accordingly to how I scroll.

Thanks,
twizz

Edit 1: I think going back to an older version might help. Will edit it in here in a few minutes whether it worked or not.

Edit 2: Going back to older versions did not seem to do the trick either. I also removed my mice software to see if it had gotten any new updates that were messing around. Wasn't the case either.

I'll do some further troubleshooting.

Please provide Winamp & system specs. At lease a plug-ins list, however the other info would be helpful as well.

Hello again JonnyMac.

I was thinking of including all that information yesterday when I created the post. But I thought it was too much for such a little problem so I didn't bother writing it all down.

Anyway, it turned out that my problem was with the mice itself. I dug down deep into my "old stuff" box with everything you can imagine in it, and in it I found a 4-5 years old wireless mice which I connected. It seems to work perfectly now.

Thank you JonnyMac for trying to help, much appreciated!

Kind regards,
twizz
