Scroll Mouse Navigation
This is annnoying. Alright, the problem is: My mouse is a scroll mouse. In firefox I have autoscrolling turned on so I can push in the scroll wheel and move up and down. I've noticed, though, that(with autoscrolling on or off) when I do that, it often redirects me. If i'm on a page with side to side scrolling, and I move the scroll marker to the side and release, it often redirects me to a place of the browsers choice(seemingly different each time I open the browser). If I go up and down on an up and down page, it does the same. I also found this in konqueror, except that with konqueror it opens a blank tab when I move it up and a new window of my home folder when I go down. In Epiphany it does nothing.

Any ideas what the problem is? Version is Mandriva 10.1.

Nevermind about this I guess. That problem seems to have been a KDE thing. Now I use GNOME more, and it doesn't seem to happen.
