Middle mouse click to scroll

[wrtpeeps]

On my windows box if I click my middle mouse wheel down a little icon comes up, and I can scroll up and down the page simply by moving the mouse up and down.

Nothing happens when I click down the middle wheel on my mouse under xubuntu. Anyone know if I have something configured wrong, or if it's possible even?

is it in firefox??


if yes go to tools >> options >> advanced tab >> and tick "use autoscroling"


i think its a bug that its not enabled by default on ubuntu, i'm using expee and it was enabled by default :)

it's not a bug, it's a feature.

highlight some text and then middleclick somewhere you can enter text (like a terminal or address bar or whatever), et voila! the text is copied. works in nearly every program in linux.
