I guess that the problem here isn't Windows 7, but that you have some extra mouse or touchpad software installed which tries to do something 'helpful' like scrolling the window, rather than sending button press/release events when the middle button is clicked. (I don't have anything mentioning "auto scroll" in the control panel mouse applet on W7) You need to turn off, uninstall or instruct that software to pass middle button clicks to the X server without meddling. -- Jon TURNEY Volunteer Cygwin/X X Server maintainer -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
