    I have a few questions about the ThinkPad T60p middle mouse button.

    1) Many applications don't recognize the ThinkPad scroll feature (the default)

    Works in:

    A) Firefox
    B) Windows Explorer


    Doesn't work in:

    A) OpenOffice
    B) Gaim
    C) GIMP



    yes, I'm an open-source junkie! :cool:

    2) For some reason, games do not recognize the middle mouse button as such (even when I set it to neither in the mouse properties section).

    Thanks for your time!

    I use the middle mouse button scroll feature a ton, that's odd, I've never found a program it doesn't work in but then again I don't use any of those you listed.
