Hi!

Client Ubuntu Jaunty: Mousewheel UP scrolls down to the bottom

When scrolling down with the mouse wheel, everything works fine, but if I scroll the mouse wheel up, the listbox or whatever focused scrolls down to the bottom.

Host: Ubuntu 9.04

Client Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty)

this happens with both evdev and vmmouse driver in /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Any ideas?

TIA

Andre

Hi Andre,

I had the same problem under XP host and Ubuntu 9.04 Guest.
After installing:


sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-vmmouse


everything works nicely (assuming you have installed VMWare Tools)

Regards,
Alex.
