[SOLVED] VB 3.1 beta 3 and Auto Select

Post by loukingjr »

am I the only one having this issue? either in Google Chrome or FF 3.5.5, when I use the scroll button on my Apple mouse, I have text in pages being auto-selected. very strange. running Snow Leopard 10.6.2 if that matters.

Happy Thanksgiving all.

Are you scrolling fast or slow? If you scroll fast, there might be a second mouse event triggered that starts the selection. This can happen on normal installs too, not much VB can do about unfortunately.

This is a bug in the underlaying Qt. I have fixed this in SVN & the fix will be available with the final release.

thank you thank you lol I thought I was the only one. especially since I got a reply from another Mac user that said he had no issues. lol hope this also means they are fixing the NAT only by bridged issue.

thanks again
