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

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.
