If you split windows and change to the new window, the mouse still scrolls the previous window. Here's how to reproduce the behavior: 1. Run emacs 23.1 2. Open a text file 3. Split the window with C-x 2 4. Change to other window and try to scroll with the mouse (you end up scrolling the initial window) I get this behavior with two different computers: 1 - a Lenovo t61 running the (formerly IBM) trackpoint mouse software that permits scrolling when you put pressure on a small stick located in the middle of the keyboard, 2 - a Dell XPS with an older IBM trackpoint keyboard (also running drivers similar to the computer above. I've tried setting mouse-wheel-follow-mouse to both t and nil. I've experimented with mouse-wheel-mode. All to no avail. Running C-h k and scrolling the mouse in the other buffer returns: (translated from ) at that spot runs the command scroll-bar-toolkit-scroll, which is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `scroll-bar.el'. It is bound to . (scroll-bar-toolkit-scroll event) Not documented. Some posts suggest that replacing the vendor-supplied mouse drivers might solve this problem, but in my case I will lose the functionality offered by IBM and Lenovo's trackpoint mouse. Does anyone know how to work around this problem?
