Hi!

Now I'm bored, and hey, a new thread pops up!

My mousewheel Vs. MSVC++ 2010 express editon

And the winner is....My mousewheel!

When I scoll it fast, the dragbar of the code editor just jumps around, from the top to the botton, to the middle and back, and then to the top again, and so on.

In VS2008 I had no problems at all with my free scrolling mousewheel.
Is there something I can disable/enable that I'm not limited in scroll-speed anymore?

wut.

edit: OH JEEZ!!! You mean the wheel on your computer mouse. For some odd reason I thought you meant a wheel in which a pet mouse would run! That's what I get for using a trackball.

Anyway, sorry.

No repro. Perhaps my scroll wheel is not intense enough.

@capn_midnight: Lol, get a coffee :)

In "faster" editors I can jump over around 5000 codelines when I just push my mousewheel. It also keeps scrolling when I take my fingers away. :)Pretty funny thing, thought. You also can enable those stoppers by pressing it, thats better for playing games. ;)

But anyways: VS2010 is to slow for it. :( It also takes around 30 seconds to find a deceleration :(

I'm guessing you're using a Logitech MX Revolution or some other Logitech mouse that has that kind of scroll wheel that keeps spinning. I've noticed that scrollbar behavior in so many applications I just started to think of it as normal behavior =/

Cannot reproduce. I have the Logitech MX Performance which also has the free spinning wheel. Visual Studio 2008 and 2010 behave exactly the same, they bottom out on the file almost immediately and the wheel continues to spin. It's a smooth scroll both up and down.

Do you routinely have 5000+ lines of code in a file where such scrolling is needed? I had to simulate such a large code file with a lot of copy & paste.

Edit: On a side note. Apparently Visual Studio 2010 doesn't like me pasting thousands of lines repeatedly. 10000 lines is really bogging things down.

Thats my mouse.
Not all of my files have 5000+ codelines, but there are a few around.

Don't know if this is related but there is a hotfix out for VS2010 when you get memory errors when cutting/pasting large amounts of code.
"Please note that both before and after hotfix installation, there are cases where Visual Studio accurately reports that not enough memory is available to complete a given operation. You may still see out of memory dialogs when attempting to make a very large cut or copy (50+ MB of data at once)."
