All Windows Scroll to Bottom of Page/Pane

    Hi,

    I have a couple of sudden, strange problems:

    1. If in any program where a pane's contents are more than fits in the
    visible pane, it automatically scrolls all the way down. If I drag the
    scroll bar to the top, it again moves all the way down.
    2. I'm entering this message via Windows Mail. I tried using IE, but in
    addition to having problem 1 above, when I try to sign into my passport, as
    soon as I try typing in my password, it will switch windows back to the one
    where I had opened the MS Vista forum page.

    I'm running Vista Ultimate SP1. Please help as I cannot get anything done
    while Vista is behaving this way.

    Thanks
     
  2. I wonder if the down arrow key is stuck on your keyboard. Or maybe Page
    Down, or perhaps a dodgy touchpad if it's a laptop.

    I am having this same problem but I'm not sure which update has caused
    the scrolling to the bottom of the window. How do I identify which
    update caused the problem?

    I have this same problem, and it's driving me mad. This is a brand new
    computer with a newly installed operating system and a brand new mouse. It is
    not a stuck key. It is not a faulty mouse. It is not a virus.

    I've seen complaints about this all over the internet, and not a single
    solution. I just see the same WRONG suggestions - your key is stuck, your
    mouse is bad, your computer has a virus. NONE of these is the solution.

    It happens intermittantly for no reason I can see, and the only way to stop
    it is to reboot. Every window scrolls HARD down to the bottom and the
    computer becomes unusable.

    What is the solution? There is a bug somewhere. Is there a workaround? Can
    someone report this and fix it? I'm running 64-bit Vista.

    That used to happen to me about once a week - and I'm running 32-bit.
    You're right, a restart fixes it.

    It hasn't happened in months... and I don't know what fixed it. Only
    thing I can think of is that I have been using Firefox exclusively for
    about the same length of time.

    Someone on Facebook suggested to me that it was a problem with the Thinkpad's
    touchpad (or possibly the virtual scrolling feature of the touchpad). I just
    disabled the touchpad, and I'll see how it goes!

    It did occur to me that it was a browser issue because it always seemed to
    happen first in the browser. I switched to Google Chrome and it didn't help.
    Might be interesting to try Firefox. Though if I try too many things at once
    (already turned off the touchpad), I won't know what fixed it.

    I doubt that will fix it. Mine is a desktop with a very standard
    keyboard.

    If disabling the touchpad doesn't help, I'll try your solution next. I want
    to try one thing at a time so I know what's causing what.

    The IE engine is also used in Outlook, so I'm not sure how much it will help
    me to dump IE. Do you use Outlook?

    I used Outlook 2003 for several years and am now using Outlook 2007.

    That's not the problem.

    I seem to remember an interaction with Winamp, of all things. I use
    the Pro version, and also did when I used to have the problems. I
    might also have had iTunes installed, but an earlier version than is
    available now. I uninstalled THAT about the same time the problem
    went away.

    I'm not using either WinAmp or iTunes. Just Windows Media Player. I don't
    even have all my software installed on this system yet because it's so new.

    If the problem was with the IE component, you'd still have problems because
    you run Outlook, which uses IE as a component internally. Might be something
    else you were using.

    And it may very well be that more than one app can cause the problem - might
    be some internal API call that different apps use.

    I'm still hoping it was my touchpad and the problem is gone. Time will tell.

    I had the same problem with my notebook, and I had solved the problem
    (only for notebook). It is indeed the problem of the Touchpad; you can
    even reproduce the problem by scrolling the Touchpad virtual vertical
    scroll (the vertical right area of the Touchpad) using your finger
    stroking down this area, then you will have this problem (i.e. window
    always scroll to bottom, after you use your mouse to move the vertical
    scroll bar to the top). To solve this problem, just tap on the Touchpad
    again.

    Try it, if it still doesn't solve your problem, then it could be
    problem with other input devices, like the mouse, keyboard or even
    faulty USB hub as was reported by others.

    Follow-up... It was the touchpad. I have not had the problem since I disabled
    the touchpad.

    I had the same problem with my notebook, and I had solved the problem
    (only for notebook). It is indeed the problem of the Touchpad; you can
    even reproduce the problem by scrolling the Touchpad virtual vertical
    scroll (the vertical right area of the Touchpad) using your finger
    stroking down this area, then you will have this problem (i.e. window
    always scroll to bottom, after you use your mouse to move the vertical
    scroll bar to the top). To solve this problem, just tap on the Touchpad
    again.

    Try it, if it still doesn't solve your problem, then it could be
    problem with other input devices, like the mouse, keyboard or even
    faulty USB hub as reported by others.

    My problem was solved when I disabled the touchpad. I don't think that
    tapping on it would help. As I recall, I tried that - maybe I didn't, can't
    remember. In any case, I don't need the touchpad so I'm happy with it off.

    Mine is doing the same thing. I can't even get "all programs" to list
    without it scrolling to the bottom, and this can be after a fresh reboot
    without having done any browsing with any browser, and I use several, so
    I don't think browsing has anything to do with it. What else it does,
    though, is that drop-down lists on web pages only flicker for a second
    or so and I am unable to choose anything. But it's not just web pages:
    I was unable to install a program (PhotoStudio) in any language but
    Swedish. I then tried system restore, which didn't work. Then I
    accidentally discovered that pressing the shift key while scrolling will
    allow normal scrolling; that sometimes fixes it for a while. The
    control key can also be used to slow down the scrolling. Neither of
    these fixes it properly, but it is a work-around. I was able to install
    PhotoStudio in English, thank the Lord, by pressing the shift key while
    I selected my language. In my case, the touchpad is disabled since I use
    a wireless mouse, so it is not the touchpad. Since I am addicted to my
    mouse (I hate laptops) I haven't tried disabling it and using just the
    touchpad, but I will get a spare mouse--I should have one anyway--and
    see if switching the mouse solves the problem permanently.

    This sounds obvious, but, check Scroll Lock, Page Down and down arrow
    keys to make sure they're not stuck.
