Google Chrome pissing me off

Post by Cuspar » Mon Aug 22, 2011 4:44 pm

So yeah.

Periodically, my browser seems to think I've clicked somewhere off the screen - ie. all of a sudden, I can't scroll with the mouse wheel until I click somewhere on the window again.

Running a virus scan right now.

Suggestions?

if you aren't using kermit on a dialup BBS, you aren't doing it right.

truthfully, I have never heard of your issue. I have a new one with Google Chrome wherein the back button does not work due to a chache issue they created in Beta 14. But not clicking right? No idea.

Have you checked About Chrome to make sure you have the most updated version?
