An image worths a thousand words:

(if you don't get what is wrong, look to the scroll bar)

In 1.1.5 you must have modified scroll increment in preferences, but in 1.5 you have scroll increment by default.

In about:config filter by scroll to see the related prefs and you can change the value of:
toolkit.scrollbox.scrollIncrement

It is a hand made html with a numbers of line enough to cover more than one page. Just the copy&paste of 
<p>a</p>
inside 
<body></body>
to do what I said above winking smiley

I checked it and both are with the default value, an integer of 20.

Any other idea. Because I tested and all applications (seamonkey was the first) work when I change the mouse configuration through Windows control panel but 1.5 version keeps doing the same :/

same thing here, all the values are exactly the same between 1.1.4 and 1.5
i also checked mousewheel.horizscroll.xxx values to see if there were any differences but nope.. i tried changing some values to bring 1.5 "up-to-speed" with 1.1.4 but didn't work either.


what is even more interesting is not the scroll-speed difference, it's the way 1.1.x handles the page, when 1.5 scrolls that page, the cpu loads jumps up to around 20%, 1.1.6 just scrolls through like any other page and cpu load remains constant 2-6%.. memory load is not affected though.

there are hardly ever such pages in the real www.. but it's a good test and interesting to know, i think it can be submitted as a trivial bug.

update: on other browsers

ie6 : scrolls quite fast but not as 1.1.6 but check this: cpu load jumps to 45%
opera 8.5: scrolls just like ie. cpu load:20%
firefox 1.5: sluggish scroll very similar to 1.5, cpu load: 53%

Interesting but I haven't that problem. The CPU usage is the same with all browsers. The renderer could be the problem, but not in this case for a text page.

My system is a P4 3.2Ghz HT and 1280MB RAM. Are your system specs very low?

not really p4 2.6, 1gig ram but i have this samurize plugin on desktop that displays in realtime everything that happens.. when i start pushing the scroll down.. it shows when the cpu load increases even for a split second.. so when 1.5 increases cpu load to 20%, it's just a second and restores back to 4% but with 1.1.6 this never happens.. it's always constant

@ disrupted:
The test web page is better if lines are different an not all identical.
Try this List Generator made by me:

ListGen1.html 
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>LIST GENERATOR v1.0</TITLE>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!-- Evita que los navegadores que no soportan JavaScript den error.
function generar_list()
{
	var pref=document.parametros.prefijo.value; // Prefijo
	var inf=document.parametros.inferior.value; // Limite inferior
	var sup=document.parametros.superior.value; // Limite superior

	inf++, inf--; // Ajuste del entero cuando se introducen ceros por delante.
	sup++, sup--; // Ajuste del entero cuando se introducen ceros por delante.
	
	document.write("<CENTER><H3>Generating list " + pref + " from " + inf + " to " + sup + ":</H3></CENTER>");
	for(i=inf;i<=sup;i++){	
		if(i<10){document.write(pref + "000" + i + "<BR>");}
		else if(i<100){document.write(pref + "00" + i + "<BR>");}
		else if(i<1000){document.write(pref + "0" + i + "<BR>");}
		else if(i>=1000){document.write(pref + i + "<BR>");}
	}
}
// Fin de navegador obsoleto. -->
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<CENTER>
<H2><U>LIST GENERATOR v1.0</U></H2>

Hey, new K-Meleon user here, and I have this problem too. First thing I noticed after installing and getting down to browsing. Really frustrating, any tips? I played with the "toolkit.scrollbox.scrollIncrement" values with no change that I could tell.

Running K-Meleon v.1.5.0
Windows XP SP2
Dell Vostro 1400 laptop: 3GB RAM, Intel Core 2 Duo 1.6Ghz

Love K-Meleon so far, but that's gonna get old fast!

Thanks!

Jesse

I think, if the devs have read this (and what I posted in the dev forum), we can only wait for a solution, if not, I'll be sticky on 1.1.6 until it is solved.

That "mouse gesture" (it is not a gesture, but you know) is absolute necessary to me.

Great!

As I'm a noob here, perhaps someone can tell me how long these bug reports usually take to get a response. Are updates pretty frequent for K-Meleon? I'm not really sure how long 1.5.0 has been out, even...

Thanks!
