I am still being driven bonkers by a new feature? in IE: an inadvertent
mouse click near the left or right margins suddenly scrolls the page to the
bottom, or, occasionally, the top. I can't figure out how it works, and
there seems to be no way to turn it off. I can't install this on my wife's
or mother's computers; they will revolt.

I am operating Vista Ultimate 32, with a Logitech laser mouse and the latest
Logitech mouse software.

Is there, please, a way to turn this bug? off?

Since the beginning of Windows (and probably before), when you click on
the vertical or horizontal scroll bar, the cursor jumps to a position
roughly equivalent to your place on the scroll bar.

Hi,
This is not an IE8 feature. It's a compatibility issue between your Logitech
software and IE8.

Look through the options/settings in Control Panel> Mouse for any feature
which might be causing this- perhaps an auto-scroll feature or a set focus
feature?

If your family members are using other mice, they will probably not see this
problem.

Hope this helps,

Good advice, and I found the problem: the scroll wheel has ability to do two
additional things, depending on whether I press the wheel down and to the
left or right, which turned out to be either PageUp or PageDown. I switched
those buttons to Do Nothing and predict I will have no more problems.

Thank you.

Glad you found the feature. Thanks for the update.
