Mouse scroll not working in flash or java

[javier.ldb]

Hi you there. My mouse scroll wheel works fine, except for the flash or java objects in all my web browsers (mozilla, firefox, epiphany). I'm using X.org and Gnome. The arrows keys and PgUp and PgDown doesn't work too while the mouse pointer is over one of these objects. I have no idea why this happend, i browse the forums but can't find anything. Any help will be very useful.

Thanks!!

Try using imwheel. Some apps don't recognize the wheel unless you use imwheel...

I'm pretty sure its not a bug, but a feature... and an annoying one at that.

As you scroll down a web page, it will stop scrolling when the mouse pointer goes over a flash object. I think the scroll event is being passed to the flash object instead of making the page scroll.

It would be nice to have an browser option to never pass the scroll wheel to the flash objects.

You're lucky to have it working some of the time - I can't get the scroll wheel to work at all!!

Most annoying. Trying to search and this is the closest I have come to finding something on the subject - getting a little discouraged now - it only takes a couple of hours to build a fully functioning Windows system with all the apps - Linux has taken a week of hard graft and it still doesn't work!
