[PEDA] Mouse Scroll Wheel in Protel 99SE/Dual Screens

[Brad Velander]

Dennis, Bob,
	Typically I will have my PCB on the left monitor and a schematic page on the right monitor for most of my work and this works pretty well because at that time I am not doing a lot of schematic edits (on the right monitor). When I am working on only schematics I will commonly have two schematic pages, visible and split equally between the two monitors. While editing schematics in this manner, working on the right schematic/monitor, the bug involving the split between monitors moving rears it's head randomly.

	If I am editing the schematic on the right monitor and I just click somewhere along roughly a vertical line approx. 75% across the right monitor, the split between the two schematics will jump to approx. that point. Making the left schematic page cover 1.5 - 1.75 percent of the total work area. It is somewhat random or possibly it is just a very precise thin target line that you don't click on it very often (just a simple click, no operation specified at the time, typically I am making sure the focus is on that schematic on the right monitor and not the schematic on the left monitor).

	I don't know how better to put it into words, the vertical line is not an actual line/wire in the schematic though, it is just some arbitrary vertical axis in the work area of the right monitor. This is very consistent across our three PCB designer's work stations, so it is not just me or my computer/install. They are all different machines, with different video cards, monitors, CPUs, etc., so it is also not a computer/driver/config issue.

this sounds about consistent with what brad & i have said

brad, i didn't notice it (sch issue) as closely as you did but putting 
the sch on one monitor solved the issue, too bad

AD6 doesn't do this and am also playing with manual routing, it seems 
pretty good and smart at that but i am nowhere up to speed on the program
