dev build 200306200100 JDK 1.4.1 Under Windows I can use the wheelmouse to scroll up/down the editor but this fails under OS/2. I ran a quick testcase and confirmed that our JDK 1.4.1 does indeed provide functioning MouseWheelListener implementations (I get events just fine when I use the scroll-mouse on top of a JFrame). Why then is this failing under Netbeans? How does the editor listen for MouseWheelEvents? Does it use this JDK 1.4.x functionality at all?
AFAIK, there is no mousewheel handling code in NB editor. Please try to find out whether the mouse wheel scrolling works in other components in NetBeans, like explorer or options dialog. If yes, then please check the behavior in JDK JEditorPane.
Martin, Wheel mouse does not work under any component, but then why does it work fine under Windows if Netbeans has no implicit wheel mouse support?
Gili, mousewheel support is done in JDK. And if this doesn't work on OS/2 then it could be OS/2 JDK problem. Please try to verify whether mousewheel works in some external (non-NetBeans )application on OS/2. You can try it i.e if you run examples/texteditor/Ted editor, put down several lines of text to make scrollbars visible and use mousewheel. If this won't work on OS/2 it is JDK problem.
mouse wheel is not handled by editor module. Resolving as wontfix
