Hi;

Up to v5.23, I could scroll any of the lists in the main window, using my mouse scrollwheel. As of v6.0 and the recent v6.1, this no longer works, except if I position the mouse cursor directly over the scrollbar of the list. If the mouse cursor is IN the list it doesn't work.

I use Kubuntu 13.04 but have tested (with the same result) in kubuntu 14.04 as well.

PS. thankyou for a superb product.

Thanks for the report! This is a bug in wxWidgets 3.0 in combination with GTK2 breaking not only FFS, but their very own grid sample. Good news is I found a workaround. Here's the fixed version:

Just downloaded FreeFileSync_6.2_beta_Debian_7.3_64-bit.tar.gz and installed.

Unfortunately, it still doesn't see the scrollwheel in the list. :(

Hmmm.... I am using a Logitech M705 wireless mouse on a Toshiba C670 Notebook.

Hi;

I have tried 3 different mice. Logitech M705, Logitech T620, and a A4Tech. All exhibit the same problem.

Oh, well.... Thanks for trying anyway.

I have now found that the main list showing source and destinations contents, do in fact scroll with the scrollwheel,but the configuration list does not.

So whatever you did to fix the main list, do it to the config list as well! :)
