Annoying Internet Explorer Problem....
 

Anyone else have this problem:

I'll be browsing the web and have a couple windows up on my computer. Suddenly the scroll bar on the right of IE will just automatically spaz out and scroll down. When I try to scroll back up it just quickly scrolls back down again.

I can sometimes fix this by just minimizing the window and then bringing it up again. But sometimes I have to close the window.

I know it's not a huge problem, but it is annoying when it starts happening constantly.

Is this just a glitch? Anyone know how to fix it?

(by the way, it just happened again now as I'm trying to finish this thread).

Yes, this happens to me sometimes.

No idea why or how to fix it.

I've also seen this happen. I'm not sure but I think that it's caused when some java/scripting operation that's running on a website gets corrupted and screws up internet explorer.
But other then restarting ie or rebooting, I don't know what actually causes it.

No solution, same problem here. I usually spaz out on both buttons clicking on a blank spot until it fixes itself.

i've had this problem, and its one of the reasons i switched to opera, i've never been back.

Do you have a scroll mouse? Sometime IE thinks that the wheel is scrolling down in overdrive!

I usually find clicking the wheel fixes it.

Interesting, I do have a scroll mouse, so maybe that's it. I'll have to try it next time it happens.

Nice to know that my IE's not the only one with ADD. And I know Opera's a better browser, but I'm just so used to IE, force of habit.
