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 once wrote a workaround for a similar problem, see http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-emacs/2008-09/msg00938.html You could try the patch there (IIRC my basic idea was that Emacs resamples the actual mouse position whenever it gets a vertical scrollbar request, so the mouse must be in the window you want to scroll). If you have any questions please ask. martin
