I just downloaded the beta and it works wonderful! A few things I wish for.

1: The ability to have the normal win32 graphics (email me if you dont have them) / choose which graphics. I say this because right now w/ just the +, i dont have a basis of where I clicked originally - but hell, if this is all I ever get, im more then happy!

2: Modifier keys so autoscroll is ctrl+middle

[2] Submitted by: buckminster on Friday December 20th 2002

I have to second the modifier key. I use gestures (bound to the middle-click of the mousewheel) more often than autoscroll and autoscroll interferes a little bit with it.

I'm sure you're probably aware of this, but in the off-chance that you're not, middle-clicking on a bookmark to open it in a new tab or middle-clicking on a tab to close it disables Auto-scroll until the browser is restarted (I'm guessing this has something to do with focus)

"middle-clicking on a bookmark to open it in a new tab or middle-clicking on a tab to close it disables Auto-scroll until the browser is restarted"

Actually this was fixed a release or two ago as far as I can tell. Try upgrading to the most recent release and see what happens. If the problem still persists let me know and I'll see what I can do.

"1: The ability to have the normal win32 graphics (email me if you dont have them) / choose which graphics. I say this because right now w/ just the +, i dont have a basis of where I clicked originally - but hell, if this is all I ever get, im more then happy!"

Check out the lastest version, this has been added to a certain extent.

I'll see what I can do about a modifier key...

[6] Submitted by: Mikey K on Sunday December 22nd 2002

Yep, the latest version(s) fixed it, thanks! You might want to make a short note about constant updates on the main mozdev page, just so people who don't check the Source Code page are aware that whatever issues they might have been having have been fixed.

By the way, autoscroll is looking really great - the 'scroll' graphic is transparent and much, much better looking than the IE one, which always look kind of frazzled. Keep up the great work!

Great! One bug, though. If you activate it on a page that is still loading, you cannot deactivate it, and you are stuck in autoscroll mode until you either reload the page or close the browser window.

K-Meleon has an equivalent of Autoscroll, except that it is perfectly smooth (on a Celeron 400 / Win2k / Logitech mouse without Logitech drivers).
Maybe you should simply copy their code. ;)

Thanks a lot for your endeavour! :)

Hey, I love autoscroll, my conversion from Internet Exploder is complete! I have, however, noticed a couple of minor visual flaws that you may or may not be aware of:

1) If you try to move horizontally and vertically at the same time, the contents of the window "jitter" around.

2) When scrolling, the artifact slightly distorts whatever is passing behind it. Looks like it's not repainting quite fast enough or something.

Other than these things (and the ability to use it in textareas, etc.) I think it's done!

Does the new file (aim.xpi) solve the horizontal scrolling issue?

[17] Submitted by: WolfeDen3 on Wednesday January 1st 2003

Heh...I've just tried this out on my system and it works GREAT...For the most part, the scrolling is *very* smooth, and is truly worth the download =)

However, I've been getting some visual flaws too (just as Big J mentioned), and have noticed one characteristic in particular where this occurs: Fixed image sizes.

When a page's coding for an image is set to a fixed size, it can cause jittering to occur depending on the size chosen for that image. The only exception I've seen to this is an image fixed at the same size it would be without fixed height/width values - This has no effect on the scrolling.

The two biggest examples of this are small images fixed at large sizes, and large images fixed at small sizes. This also includes fixed sizes that are only a bit larger/smaller than the image's original size, and does not require that both are fixed, although the effect is more noticeable that way. It is most noticeable when using a percentage as a fixed size - It causes a tremendous slowdown, and much jittering, when using AutoScroll.

Strangely, in very few cases, I have also had a small strip (a few pixels wide, but as high as the entire browser window) on the left side of the browser window jittering when using AutoScroll. One page where this is noticeable is "http://kittanninglionsclub.tripod.com/pictures.html". Normal scrolling doesn't cause anything odd to happen, but when using AutoScroll, you can see the small strip on the left side of the screen jittering.

Just thought I'd mention this in case it can be of any help to you =)

I second the post above about pasting strings and URLs in Xwindows (Linux). Could you make autoscroll to work only when draggin' with the middle button, and not if only clicking? Or make it configurable?

[20] Submitted by: me2 on Thursday January 2nd 2003

The icons are nice, but you are displaying the at the wrong size. The PNGs are 28x28, but autoscroll.js has them scaled to 30x30, which results in some ugly duplicate pixels. Changing both the width and height under insertAutoScrollMarker(e) to 28 would make it a nice circle.

[21] Submitted by: Thomas Reynolds on Thursday January 2nd 2003

The icon for autoscroll will go "under" layers. Starting/Stoping/Using autoscroll works fine, but the icon disappears until it is out of the range of the layer.

Fantastic! The one feature I miss from Internet Explorer, and you've created a near-perfect replication of it! Two comments though:

1) The distance-speed equation needs to be logarithmic. The slowest speed possible isn't always slow enough.

2) It causes problems with text selection (with the primary mouse button). You can select text fine, but you can no longer break a selection by clicking on it. This affected selections on a web page, in HTML form elements (like the one I'm using now), and most annoyingly of all, in Mozilla's URL input bar.

For example: click on the URL once in the URL input bar, and it automatically selects the entire string. Clicking on the selection once more should "break" the selection, allowing you to begin another selection within the bounds of the old one.

However with AutoScroll installed, this breaking no longer happened, causing much frustration when trying to select parts of a URL, which I do a lot of as a web developer. Un-installing AutoScroll removed the problem.

Installed 1.5 of autoscroll.xpi. Noticed at Yahoo, when the wheel button is pressed to display the scroll icon, if there is a Flash ad on the page, the ad disappears until the scroll icon is clicked off. Not sure if that is a bad thing or a good thing. :)

I like the new AutoScroll. Can I add my 'me too' request for the logarithmic acceleration? The slowest speed scrolling is too fast. So it needs a non-linear displacement/speed function to give fine low-speed control and still allow rapid movement.

Optimoz mouse gesture CONFLICT.

I had my middle mouse button (without a keypress) for my optimoz plugin for mouse gestures now autoscroll uses this, can we make which button for autoscroll user definable? As a solution I moved my optimoz plugin to my right button. Sometimes I get locked into autosscroll without a way of unreleasing it, mostly when a new tab renders.

huzza :)

[35] Submitted by: Ron on Saturday January 18th 2003

Two things:

1) Middle clicking on a link in a page opens the link in a new tab. This is annoying to me since I use autoscroll a lot and it's easily to accidentally click on a link instead of activating autoscroll. Since I can open in a new tab with a CTRL-Link Click, I don't need to use the middle mouse for that anyway. I know that others like it as is, so an option to toggle this behavior would be nice.

2) In other programs, moving the mouse wheel during autoscroll turns off autoscroll. This would be a helpful option.

Thanks!

Speed of scrolling:

I have installed autoscroll in mozilla 1.2.1 on linux. It scrolls very slowly (about 2 fps on 300Mhz processor) on pages like http://slashdot.org . I have solved this by commenting out calls to insertAutoScrollMarker and removeAutoScrollMarker. Now scrolling without additional image (with transparency!) in extral layer is almost smooth. This could be a configurable option for those who don't want visual feedback of scroll mode.

[37] Submitted by: Jakub Travnik on Monday January 20th 2003

The slowness reported in my previous note might be caused by use of antialiased fonts.

[38] Submitted by: Anonymous on Wednesday January 22nd 2003

True IE autoscroll only registers middle mouse click if pressed while the pointer is inside the web page pane. The Mozilla Autoscroll add-on grabs the middle mouse click for the *entire* browser window. This makes a huge difference to X11 (example: Linux) users where the standard way to paste text from an Xterm to Mozilla is to press the middle mouse button inside the URL bar. Under the IE method of autoscroll, this would be permitted since the URL bar is outside the web page pane, but Mozilla Autoscroll also focuses/snags middle mouse click on the URL bar to start autoscroll thus the X11 paste to the URL bar never occurs. (Right clicking and choose paste only pastes what is in the Mozilla cut/paste buffer, not what is in the X11 paste buffer, hence the Xterm text is still not pasted).

[41] Submitted by: WolfeDen3 on Sunday February 2nd 2003

Heh...Just tried out the updated version of AutoScroll, and it works great =)

I've found one rather odd problem, though, and it's only noticeable on pages that have a VERY long list of data (it probably helps to have a slow connection too - I have a cable modem, and so I have to be quick to get this bug to show itself ;P).

((NOTE: When the user presses or depresses the middle mouse button/mouse wheel, I will refer to those actions as "opening" and "closing" AutoScroll, respectively.))

If a page is fully loaded before opening AutoScroll, no problems occur.

But, if a page is still loading when you open AutoScroll, when you then go to close AutoScroll, its icon will still be there, you cannot close/reopen AutoScroll on that page, and you will not be able to click on any links on that page (you can still scroll in that window or switch between tabs - Pages on other tabs will work as if the problem had never occurred).

You will need to reload the page (and let it _completely_ load, otherwise the problem reoccurs) to be able to click on any of the links on that page.

((NOTE: I've had mixed results with timing when to close AutoScroll to cause this bug. Sometimes it'll happen even after the page is completely loaded when you close AutoScroll, but it always happens when closing it while the page is still loading.))

As I said above, you need pages with VERY long lists of data to give yourself enough time to do the above and expose the bug. I can think of two pages which are large enough for this: Venura's list of message boards ( http://dewin.oldbattery.com/venura/list.php?realm=default&res=r ), and any of the Videogame Music Archive's list of console music ( http://www.vgmusic.com/music/console/nintendo/snes/index-af.html works pretty well).

If anyone else has encountered this problem, I hope this may help in fixing it.

I have been waiting for this feature for so long! Thanks a million!

My only criticism is the semi-transparency of the artifact. I don't think it's truly necessary, and it does distort what it passes over (on my Pentium II at least). I'd imagine it also uses a bit more processing power to achieve the effect.

Aside from that, exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks again!

[43] Submitted by: Jubijub on Friday February 7th 2003

I thnak you for this feature which I really missed from IE6...

The fact is that it is still a little bit too slow : sometimes, I just want to reach the bottom of the page (on forum for instance), and even when going as far down as I can, it's not fast enough
In an other hand, the speed for slow reading is perfect...

Well done

[44] Submitted by: StuMan1337 on Friday February 7th 2003

Thank you for this feature. It was the one thing that was missing from Phoenix.

I think the fastest speed needs to be a little faster, the transparent icon isn't really necessary, and scrolling the wheel should stop autoscroll.

i know it's a shallow request, but i'd like for the circle and the arrows to be a bit cleaner. they look kinda... ugly. moreso than microsoft's IE autoscroll.... maybe allow the user to make their own image and replace the default with custom images... i dunno. but regaurdless, im very pleased with it and i'm more than satisfied with what i have.

[47] Submitted by: kerrick on Saturday February 22nd 2003

Just some general requesnts:
* I'd like to be able to change to my own image for the center.
* Some custom cursors would be nice instead of just resize arrows. (Does Mozilla support url( ... ) for cursors?
* Extended use in other parts of the browser.
* When mouse wheel is scrolled, autoscroll stops.
* When any button action is taken, autoscroll stops.
* Autoscroll on any element with a scrollbar (textareas and elements with display:auto/scroll(/hidden?).
* As far as customization discussed above, maybe you could have it in userChrome.css.
* When Autoscrolling, flash disappears (if you can do anything about that).

Great job and keep up the good work.

same prob as #22, Simon Wright, 2).
cannot click to break a selection, most importantly in the url bar. this is very annoying.

a workaround would be to limit the autoscroll-click-alertness (or how should i call it?) to the actual webpage, not the entire browser window. (someone already suggested this for another reason).

however, one would still not be able to break selections inside the page, i guess.

It's nice, buit it doesn't work with the Logitech MouseWare's "AutoScroll" or "UniversalScroll" feature unless I activate "MS Offcie compatible scrolling only", which results in just having a third mouse button - and is not what I need. MSIE can handle the scrolling even if "MS Office..." is deactivated, so maybe it could be possible for AutoScroll, too?

P.S.: I have a TrackMan Marble FX, 4 buttons, no wheel, and I use button 3 for "AutoScroll" from Logitech and button 4 for "Internet Back Command".

It doesn't work with Logitech MouseWare's "Universal Scroll" feature.

This is really very disappointing. Universal Scroll works everywhere else but not with Mozilla.

Is there hope? Will it ever work? Does somebody even try to fix it to make it work with Logitech's "Universal Scroll" feature?
I ask because the first bug reports about this problem startet in 2000, almost three years ago!! And it is still in a condition where it is completely useless for me. Sorry, but that is how I feel about this.

AutoScroll doesn't function correctly in the latest nightly I've tried, Win32 1.4a 20030312.

Works as usual in Mail/News message-display pane but doesn't appear in Browser.

Also I note that the latest xpi still has the PNGs at 28x28, but autoscroll.js has them scaled to 30x30, which results in some ugly duplicate pixels. Changing both the width and height under insertAutoScrollMarker(e) to 28 makes it tidy.

Easy enough to edit and fix as end-user but could be easily fixed in the installer too.

First I want to say thanks for autoscroll, it works great!

Second I want to say thanks for somehow fixing a bug that has bothered me for some time: there are Flash ads that cannot be stopped (i.e., the "Play" and "Loop" items on the right-click menu have been disabled). This greatly distracts from reading the rest of the page. I wrote a bug to Bugzilla for this:

http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=192440

When I middle-click to start autoscroll, it turns the Flash ads into whitespace! I posted two images as attachments to the bug which demonstrate this behavior.

I grepped the source for "flash" but couldn't find it anywhere; I'm not sure how you managed to disable them but I greatly appreciate it.

Please don't "fix" autoscroll so that Flash ads continue playing. Thanks!

[63] Submitted by: Alistair McLaurin on Friday March 28th 2003

For everyone who asked for a modifier key, I have a quick solution which will make autoscroll work with "Shift" and the middle mouse button.

In the file ./mozilla/chrome/autoscroll/content/autoscroll.js

Change the line number 117 from;

if(evt.button == "1" && !isScrolling && !isLink(evt.target) &&

to;

if(evt.button == "1" && evt.shiftKey && !isScrolling && !isLink(evt.target) &&

Restart mozilla and you have a modifier key. There should be options for CTRL and ALT keys if you prefer, look on Google.

This is particularly useful for people using Mozilla 1.3 and Mozilla Mail, as the lack of a modifier key was preventing me using the middle mouse button for cut and paste.

[64] Submitted by: SteveW on Tuesday April 1st 2003

Hi,

I installed AutoScroll on x86 Linux, Mozilla 1.3.

Two things seem not right:
1. The 1st middle-mouse click (and sometimes other clicks and
double clicks) cause my home page to load in the current tab.
2. When composing mail, the middle mouse is useful for the Unix paste
function, but the AutoScroll overides it.

Please let me know if any of the two are solveable.

Poking around the net, I found several patches for AutoScroll. I combined all of the fixes that I liked into my own version; maybe someone else will find this useful. Here's what is different from the January 31st version that is available here:
* Works with Mozilla 1.4a
* doesn't generate Javascript errors for undefined variables
* doesn't screw up when you activate it before a page has finished loading
* works with imagemaps now (instead of activating AutoScroll, a new tab is opened for the link like it should)
* the cursor size is specified correctly (28x28, not 30x30), so that it is transparent instead of gray

I modified latest public version to be more precise when scrolling slowly and yet easy to scroll fast: http://www.cs.pitt.edu/~philip/bin/autoscroll.js .

The change is in autoScrollLoop(): scroll speed is an odd polynomial function of mouse displacement in each direction.

Sorry, I don't yet know how to make patches. I tidied and commented the rest of the code a bit, so maybe you'll want to see the whole thing.

Anyone experiencing crashes in gklayout.dll with 1.4b nighties with this latest version?

[74] Submitted by: ken@kenbeal.com on Thursday May 8th 2003

I just installed Mozilla 1.4b and had to reinstall autoscroll. Upon doing so I noticed a slight change which makes it much more difficult to use: the "dead spot" has shrunked a great deal, so it is much harder to start scrolling, then move the mouse into the center zone to stop scrolling.

Is the "dead spot" configurable?

I suppose I could change my habits to disable scrolling (by clicking) when I want it to stop, but then that means 2 extra clicks to stop/start when I want to scroll again -- a lot of wasted clicks. The older, larger "dead spot" was much more efficient for me.

Thanks though for a wonderful addition!

[75] Submitted by: ken@kenbeal.com on Thursday May 8th 2003

I just looked through the code and in autoscroll.js, it appears that the variable scrollSnap should control how far from the center it begins scrolling.

However, changing that (from 10 to 20, then to 50) had no effect. Do I need to recompile anything? (I did completely exit the browser, including the autolaunch, between tests.)

Thanks,
Ken

[76] Submitted by: ken@kenbeal.com on Thursday May 8th 2003

Final comment and I'll shut up. ;-)

Turns out it's the scrollSpeed variable, which was changed from 20 to 3 between 1.8 and 1.9. However, setting it back to 20, while it *does* have the desired effect of making the "dead spot" larger, also has the undesired effect of making the maximum scroll speed much slower.

One "mouse gesture" I use is to middle-click and then move the mouse up a lot, which scrolls rapidly to the top of the page. This is similar to hitting "Home" but your hand doesn't need to leave the mouse. After I made this change, it became quicker to hit "Home" as the max scrolling speed was so slow.

So I did a bit more playing with the CVS web interface and found that just one block of code needed to be replaced (it had been removed in version 1.9 of autoscroll.js): the section at line 44 which squares x and y (without removing the negative sign). After putting this back in, everything works the way it did.

It'd be nice if this could be configurable, but at least I was able to restore the functionality I previously had.

Again, thanks for a very useful feature.

Autoscroll seems to conflict with this site: http://www.realworldtech.com/
When I middle click, I can scroll, but everything disappears until I middle click again.

Thanks for the extension.

I saw your note that you are looking for someone to take over the project, that won't be me, but I hope whoever takes it over will have the time to make autoscroll function as creamily smooth as IE's does. Right now it's kinda jerky and flickery due to how it's handling the screen redraws.

Under Linux with Firebird 0.6: if you're scrolling and you use the left mouse button to exit scroll mode, it crashes. Using middle or right button doesn't do this.

we can't believe that there is no better spam protection at the notes-pages. you should give tools like a chance, otherwise you should not use url conversion any longer or you have to implement a redirect service that intercepts backlink inheritance.

Hi,

I would like the ability to configure the sensitivity to mouse movements, i.e. I would like to gain more speed by smaller movements

[86] Submitted by: accelerated scroll on Monday July 21st 2003

In IE when you middle click and move away from where you clicked the mouse scroll accelerates... this was the reason I used the feature mostly because if you knew that what you wanted to see was towards the bottom you just middle clicked and brought your mouse near the bottom and the page flew by. It was a nice browsing feature. I'm glad to see that the auto-scroll is being mimiced a little but I think it would be nice to see it accelerate or at least have it configurable to accelerate.

I second the configurable sensitivity. I like the super accelerated scroll of IE. If I need to get to the bottom of a page I just middle click and bring my mouse to the bottom, then boom, i'm there. It takes much longer with autoscroll in firebird. If I could change the sensitivity that would be great.

IE has a "Related" (Alexa) button on its toolbar. I don't suppose Mozilla has one or is developing a similar?!

[116] Submitted by: Rich H. on Thursday September 11th 2003

This may not be the right place, but one thing I've
wanted for awhile is for the browser to examine the
page source, and if there were a _single_ LINK (preferred) or A with REL="next", then an attempt to scroll (by whatever means) past the end of the page
would pause a bit (to be sure you meant it) and if
repeated, automatically follow that link. If e.g. google could be persuaded to put that on pages
(pointing to the same place as their "next" button), it would make scrolling through multiple pages of hits a lot easier.
A similar back-link would be possible to, although
perhaps less useful.

[117] Submitted by: Rick on Friday September 12th 2003

I'm sure you're probably aware of this, but in the off-chance that you're not, middle-clicking on a bookmark to open it in a new tab or middle-clicking on a tab to close it disables Auto-scroll until the browser is restarted (I'm guessing this has something to do with focus)

Grettings.
