  1. Arrow Keys scroll through text instead of scrolling smoothly


    My cat jumped on my keyboard and ever since then my arrows are refusing to scroll normally. They jump through text box to text box. The text is boxed and that flashing indication for typing appears as if I could edit the text. I tried fixing the scroll lock but saw no difference and doubted that you would have to reset your computer for that change to happen. I would like to get my laptop back to scrolling properly as I relied on it alot.

    :)

    Arrows scrolling with edge

    Since W10 install, when I use edge, the up/down arrows scrolling periodicaly bugs, it sometimes doesnt work at all or e.g. in Google the blue Arrow aside the results becomes a vertical text cursor and scrolling with the down arrow will do so 1 line at
    a time instead of 1 result at a time. When I use explorer in w10 the scroling works fine. Any ideas to fix this.

  3. TPU review scroll bar

    I was wondering if there was any specific reason the buttons to scroll down the list of reviews was stuck in the bottom left-hand corner? Whenever I want to read reviews, I always have to move my cursor and aim it at a small arrow that scrolls the reviews... I'd suggest that instead of making the arrows small and in a corner, it would be better placed to the sides of the review bar.

    Something like this (yes, I know it's crappy but it took 5min to make):

    What is smooth scrolling?

    Hi Kenneth,

    Smooth scrolling is a feature available in Internet Explorer that allows you to scroll through a web pages smoothly, as the name of the feature suggests. If this is turned off, when scrolling through a web page, you'll notice that the scroll
    bar slides down as if it's slightly delayed, but if this is turned on, the scroll bar slides down smoothly, without delay.

    This is useful when scanning through long web pages or articles.

    To turn on/off smooth scrolling, see the following steps:

    • Open Internet Explorer, click the gear icon, and then click
      Internet
      Options.
    • Click on the Advanced tab.
    • Locate Use smooth scrolling, and tick the check box if you want it turned on/off.

    Let us know if you have further questions.
