emacs22 mouse wheel

emacs22 mouse wheel

[Ulrich Scholz]

I've just upgraded to Gnu Emacs 22.1.1.

One thing that stopped working is the mouse wheel. I have (mouse-
wheel-
mode t) in my .emacs and M-x customize-option mouse-wheel-mode RET
shows the option as "on".

The error I get is

   mwheel-scroll: Wrong type argument: listp, 1

Note that I used (mwheel-install) for emacs21 but it is no longer
present in .emacs or any other configuration file I can find.

Thanks,

Ulrich

Normally that should be (mouse-wheel-mode 1).

,----[ C-h f mouse-wheel-mode RET ]
| mouse-wheel-mode is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `mwheel.el'.
| (mouse-wheel-mode &optional ARG)

| Toggle mouse wheel support.
| With prefix argument ARG, turn on if positive, otherwise off.

`----

And here it is enabled by default.

When do you get the error?  Could you please `M-x toggle-debug-on-error'
and reproduce the error and post the backtrace.

Bye,

I found it! It was the line

 '(mouse-wheel-scroll-amount (quote (5 . 1)))

in the custom-set-variables section of my .emacs.  Don't know how it
got there but it worked for Emacs 21

Thanks,

Ulrich
