Unwanted scrolling when moving the mouse cursor
-
Pages scroll up and down rapidly when moving the mouse even a tiny bit. My Windows settings are set to enable three rows at a time.
GestureLeft often scrolls to the previous tab, instead of doing HistoryBack, even though the cursor is not over the tab bar.
Has anyone else noticed these problems?

@Pesala for me i use a laptop and scrolling only happens using 2 fingers on the TouchPad
as for gesture left check your settings

@Pesala Is this about middle-click scrolling, or just generally moving the mouse? Does the cursor change, or is it just a normal cursor? And of course, current Vivaldi version, how long has it been going on - you know the drill.

@Pesala, some times ago I had a similar issue, changing the mouse solved it. Normally the middle click put it in automatic scroll mode, but also a bad or broken switch in the mouse can cause it, spcially in cheap ones with not very good micro switches.
Before I always bought cheap mice, but these, although they worked well at first, did not usually last long, since then I buy Gaming mices, because these have much better and stable switches, although they cost €10-15 more, it is worth it.
Currently I use Steelseries Rival 3 5 buttons (€ 35) 60 million click guarantee, works like a charm.

Yeah, a failing mouse can behave erratically.
Failing mouse switches can 'bounce'. This causes them to register multiple 'clicks' during a single click, or register multiple 'clicks' while you're holding down the mouse button. So, if you're performing a mouse gesture and holding down the button, it might result in performing multiple gestures being performed because the button is actually releasing without you knowing it.
I also recently had my mouse scroll wheen encoder fail. This resulted in erratic scrolling (scrolling down would scroll down one or two lines then scroll back up).
Although, it does sound odd that the mouse would register actions just by moving the mouse slightly. But it could depend on the model of mouse.
I've also had a situation where I repaired my mouse buttons, but when screwing the mouse back together, I overtightened the screws, which was causing the plastic housing of the mouse to press a mouse switch all the time. Loosening the screws a little fixed it.
