Display defect: Do you have this?

[Hege]

(edit: removed the pic)

this happens on some websites when I scroll down. Try for example the above site:

Had this both with G200 and G450 w2k newest drivers, not with other brands of video cards.

ideas?

try to diable smooth scrolling.

I can reproduce the same effect in Eudora: select a long e-mail, scroll to the bottom of the mail and then drag the seperator-line between the preview-pain and the message-list a bit up. Repeat several times.

Actually, I only get this with the RichEdit control and the Internet control of Microsoft and I've seen this with both a G200 as a G400 with different drivers.

Not a big problem to me though.

I had that too and most of those occurences went away after updating Internet Explorer 5.5 to SP2 ...

[Hege]

Smooth scrolling is disabled already, and all the IE patches installed.

Well, I guess I can live with it. Just wanted to know it's a Matrox specific bug.

Logitech Mouseware, arghh
Talk about scroll being broken, and somehow it fuXx0r5 with hardware pointer. I have given up on them.

Sorry for the rant

Yep, got a logitech mouse, but I already have the newest mouseware.

And yeah, the scroll wheel is useless, at least with IE.

Bull ... I live by the WebWheel and have for several IE versions. I've never seen this corruption unless my whole system hung. I'm using a G400 Max and a Logitech MouseMan Wheel.

HOW can you live without the wheel?????

[Wombat]

I prefer having no wheel. I still use the Logitech Mouseman+ (3 buttons, no wheel). For gaming, it's better for me. Wheels usually don't have very good precision for whatever you're trying to use them for, and it's hard to press the wheel down without turning it.

3 nice, flush, evenly-pressured buttons for me. I should stock up on this mouse.

thats strange since ive updated my software to version 8 some time ago to version 9.4 now i havent had any problems with the scrolling wheel with IE .....strange. you guys must verbally abuse your hardware and its taking revenge on you
usually in games I use the wheel to select a different weapon so it works great for that.

[Hege]

I didn't mean the wheel is useless because of that display bug, it only happen every now and then on some sites, regardless of the way i scroll the page.

The wheel is useless (IMHO) because of the delay. When you scroll the wheel, it doens't instantly get where you scrolled it. It's too slow. This makes me instinctly scroll more, and as the scrolls are buffered, when the screen finally gets to the right spot of the page, it scrolls over it.

And as I said previously, I have smooth scrolling disabled already. It helped a bit, but not enough for me.

I haven't seen the display corruption, but with every other version of MouseWare I get the wheel delay. This can remedied by changing the number of lines to scroll forth and back, but it has to be done in every Windows session.

But no matter what version I use, I always get an annoying "stutter" when scrolling.
Is this what can be fixed by disabling smooth scroll?

I use a mouse produced by the evil empire, and I have never had any problems.
