Description victorhooi 2009-10-07 07:41:31 UTC 
heya,

I have a Lenovo X200 Thinkpad, which has a trackpoint scrolling device.

Like many Thinkpads, this has three mouse buttons, the middle button of which is configured to trigger scrolling (same
behaviour as under Windows). I.e. http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_configure_the_TrackPoint#Vertical_Scrolling

Under most programs, this works fine. However, under Netbeans, when you depress the mouse button and attempt to scroll,
this works fine for a few seconds, before scrolling stops, and the right-click menu pops up.

Other people seem to have the same issue, including under Windows as well:

http://forums.netbeans.org/topic14025.html

There is a fix mentioned there, but it only works for Windows, and there doesn't appear to be a fix under Linux. Is this
an issue that could be resolved in NetBeans?

Cheers,
Victor

reassigned to platform for evaluation

netbeans just listens to mouse events from java runtime
please try creating a simple java application with a scrollable text area which also shows a popup menu. if it the
scrolling works fine in that application then please reopen this issue, otherwise file a bug against jdk, thanks.
