scrolling in source editor is messed
RStudio 0.96.117
Windows 7, R 2.15.0
Mouse wheel scrolling in the source pane is very messed up, so much so that it almost makes using the source editor unusable. All the other windows work fine, but anything over one screen in the source editor is almost impossible to scroll up or down through the file.

Hello,
Thanks for reporting and we're looking into it. Does this bug also exist for you on the current public release (v0.95.265)? It would be great if you could download RStudio v0.95.265 and let us know if this bug is there as well.

Hi Josh,
Sorry I didn't include that information. That bug has only crept in on the
preview release, not on the public. I had no problems with the v0.95.265.

Robert,
What type of mouse are you using? Would you mind pointing to a specific product link such as on Amazon?
Thanks,
Josh

Hi Josh,
Here it is on Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Wireless-Laser-Mouse-5000/dp/B000EHUR3O
They are out of stock, but I have seen it on EBay as well:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Microsoft-Wireless-Laser-Mouse-5000-Model-1058-and-Receiver-/290707766392
I can find a different mouse and try that to see if it fixes the problem.

Robert,
Thanks for the link and I do think it has to do with the mouse (or at least I'm hoping so). I haven't been able to reproduce this with other wireless mouses.
If you do have another mouse to try that would be great! And either way (if it repros the problem or not), can you also send an Amazon link to the new mouse as well so we can see the difference.
Thanks again,
Josh

Josh,
I plugged in an old wired mouse I had, and it works fine. However, I noted
that if I adjust the scroll wheel speed settings in the Control Panel, all
other RStudio blocks reflect the change in scrolling speed, but the source
editor does not. Would this have something to do with the source editor
component itself, and the type of application that it is?

Got another wireless mouse,
http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Wireless-Mouse-Flame-910-002486/dp/B004ZEZB88/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1336677039&sr=8-7
Works great. Still seems odd that this behavior showed up at all.

Robert,
Awesome! Thanks for the followup here and I actually picked up a similar mouse and was able to reproduce the problem. One tick of the scroll wheel moves the editor approximately 50 lines. We'll be looking into it.

The problem does appear to be specific to certain types of Microsoft mice. I've checked in a fix which should be appearing in tomorrow's daily build. Thanks for letting us know!
