Yeah, I noticed that difference, too. Web page designers who try to match graphics to text can be in for trouble, though. And when sizing elements to fit text, you need to use ems instead of pixels. But that's just good webdev practice anyway.

Does it run Windows? If so, I wonder what Windows message is being sent for scroll up? If you have Visual Studio installed, you could use the Spy++ app to check it out.

If you're not on Windows, then I have no idea how to diagnose that.

That's an interesting perspective, Dennis. In my experience, Google Chrome gives up on page loads sooner than the other browsers. I get a lot more page load failures that are cured by simply doing a refresh.

I agree that no feed support is a definite deficit. Hopefully that will be coming soon.

I never noticed before that in Firefox when you press the scroll wheel you get some weird thing displayed in the middle of the page — I'm not sure how to use it, though. So I don't miss that in Chrome, especially since just scrolling the wheel works fine.

I am not sure how to describe this but, I miss the scroll wheel feature that glides the pages when you've pressed the wheel.

Has anyone used this in Chrome?
