Hi,

i have a usb Creative optical mouse.

the scrollbar works, i can scroll up and down web pages or really any 
program that has a scroll bar.
but the scrollbar on the mouse has one more function:
if you click down on the scroll bar it locks you in place on the web 
page you are on and then you can move the mouse up and down or side to 
side and you can scroll around the image or web page relative to where 
you locked the scrollbar in place..

maybe there is a better way to state that.

this is NO big deal at all, but was wondering if anyone knows how to 
configure the mouse better so all of it's functions can be used.

BTW the 'locking' feature i'm talking about WORKS in thunderbird. I can 
lock down the scroll bar and move the mouse around like I said above.

the problem is on web pages only(firefox).

I found out that what it's doing in place of 'locking' is pasting the 
contents of the clipboard into the url, but only if it is a valid url.

ex: if:

foo bar is not a real word
is in my clipboard it won't paste http://foo bar is not a real word

but plug-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us does past into 
http//plug-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us

kinda weird

maybe Fedora Core 3 has taught my mouse a new trick? :-)
