How to Disable Scrolling by Mouse Middle Button

[Chiz]

Hi,

I would like to disable page scrolling by pressing mouse middle button in Foxit Reader, as I assign this button for other function (Dictionary search by Lingoes). Lingoes is a pop-up dictionary application that captures texts in any window and does dictionary search. Most other applications (such as Firefox) have ways to disable scrolling by mouse middle button, but I could not find it in Foxit Reader. Whenever I do dictionary search in Foxit Reader window with Lingoes, the PDF page starts to scroll unintentionally. Could Foxit development team tell me how I can work around this issue?

Thanks in advance,

Hi Chiz,

Currently there's no option to disable scrolling by Mouse Middle Button. I've forwarded this request as suggestion to our Reader PM team for processing. Suggestion ID#: READER-463.

I need my mouse buttons under MY control.
Middle click is usually "pan" in CAD programs, and selected to clip-board in GNU software, like Linux, BSD etc.
Please make a check-box for that function. It is galling.

Hi Mouse3,

I've added your comments to Suggestion ID#: READER-463. Thank you.

Has there been any change in this? I'm interested in this feature as well. I would prefer to have middle mouse be Pan as Mouse3 suggested. If middle mouse can be mappable then I feel like this would solve the issue.

Thanks for your update. I've forwarded your comments as well to PM team so they consider to disable the scrolling by using middle mouse button and support to enable middle mouse be Pan. Thank you.

Any update on this feature? Every other program I use assigns middle mouse to pan and I'm very tired of shooting 50 pages away every time I click it by mistake. Or maybe there's a way to just disable scrolling?

Arjunroy, Yes, there is no option to disable it right now. We have report it to our PM team for evaluation, hope it can be considered.

have u decided yet?
it's much preferred to have a checkbox to control this feature, (really an annoying feature for me personally)

nic_r I am sorry that the feature request"Disable/Enable middle mouse button to auto scroll" hasn't been adopted by our product management team yet.I have just reminded them about this new feature again and will keep you informed for any new progress about it.

Hello,

Have you gotten any updates on this feature? I found it rather disturbing than convenient because it happens to me too often lately.

singuyen .I am really extremely sorry that the feature about disabling the scrolling by Mouse Middle Button still hasn't been implemented yet. Anyway,I have escalated the priority for this new feature request to high in our internal system and also reminded the product management team about this feature.

@Lisa_lee So hows the development going on with this extremly simple but crucial feature. Id like to use Foxit for my CAD stuff but this scroll thing really messes up my workflow
