    My mouse (logitech g9) i have set the left scroll to copy and right scroll to paste which is very convent. However, sometimes i notice that when i hit either the left or right scroll i also scroll the mouse vertically. Doing this causes the browser to raise or lower its font size. This can get annoying to me. Is there a way to disable it?

    Sorry Nizzy, i don't think so.

    I just tried Ctr + c and scrolling - I get the zooming... reason: Ctr + scroll = zoon (in and out)

    The side scroll will give the computer the impression that you press Ctrl + c or v - if you then scroll you have Ctr + scroll + a button that does nothing...

    I use firefox. Is there any way to disable this from changing in firefox totally? Like disable the ctrl scrolling for font size changing?

    If it comes to the worst - mess with the actual code - but if you disable it completely, then it may work.

    Are there any settings in the about config for this?

    edit: YES there is! I just did it!

    if you want to do it too, go into about:config search zoom. Change the max zoom to 100 and min zoom to 100 (min is default 30 and max is 300). Now it locks it at 100% no matter what. Hopefully this helps other people!
