[gentoo-user] mouse wheel scroll moves back / forward in firefox

[Iain Buchanan <iaindb@netspace.net.au>]

Hi all,

in my theme of Xorg mouse problems :)

I have setup scrolling with ZaxisMapping.  It works fine.  However, with
a selection of different mice (every mouse I've got), including my
touchpad with the synaptic driver setup to "emulate" the wheel, when I
scroll _fast_ it seems to get mapped to a button press.

In firefox, this button press is translated into history-forward / back,
so that when I'm scrolling down a page, allofasudden, I get taken to the
previous page in history...

As you can imagine, this is mildly annoying!

Could it be something to do with:
         Option      "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"
I can't always reproduce it, so it's hard for me to tell...

thanks for any suggestions,
