I can't scroll down the PDF pages with the click of the scroll wheel of my mouse. That also affects the scrollability of Zoteros pdf-view when used in the tablet mode of my Surface 3.
I can reproduce the problem on a Windows 10 laptop, Zotero 7.0.0-beta.39+ecba25be0 (64-bit). I see the same with a MX Master 3 mouse or a basic Dell cabled mouse. Same also on Ubuntu 23.04. So it does not seem to be related to the touch device or the mouse type.
In Zotero 6.0.27 (tested on a virtual Windows 10 on the same computer), the click of the scroll wheel of the mouse triggers the scrolling circle. In Zotero Zotero 7.0.0-beta.39, it behaves the same as a normal left click. For example, it opens hyperlinks in the PDF file.
I have the same problem, i cannot using scroll with my mouse-wheel, and my Zotero version is 7.0.0-beta.65+b047f3d90 (64-bit).
What' more, I tried to scroll from another computers, with someone using a remote control tools, and he succeded. So I doubt that this is not fully the problem of Zotero, maybe some problem else.
Before that, I use Zotero 6, and Scorlling is OK for any of my mouse, but now it fails(I tried at least 2 different brands of mouse wih USB and Blueteeth connections both)
Really weird, and willing to give more details if needed.
7.0 Beta: Middle click doesn't work! I have the same problem, I can't scroll using the mouse wheel, my Zotero version is 7.0.0-beta.66+d0299a1ac (64-bit) Windows 10
"Auto-scrolling is a feature that can be found in most mainstream modern applications. Pressing the middle mouse button transfers the application into the auto-scrolling mode. In this mode, moving the mouse down starts scrolling down the contents even when the mouse is no longer moving. The scroll speed depends on the distance between the current mouse location and the mouse press location. This works for all four directions (up, down, left, right)."
I have the same issue! Middle-click not working! It appeared when I updated to the zotero 7 beta.
my Zotero version is 7.0.0-beta.66+d0299a1ac (64-bit) Windows 10
Same problem. Zotero 7.0.0-beta.93+4866c467d (64-bit) Windows 11 23 H2
I cannot use "auto-scroll" when middle clicking (i.e. clicking on the mouse wheel). In fact, middle clicking does not seem to do anything, except when I click on an in-document link. Then it behaves like a left-button click.
Please fix this, I'm really missing the option to scroll via middle clicking. Especially when zooming in a lot to analyze a small figure, middle scrolling is perfect because it also allows to scroll left-right and not only up-down.
@slipthay: Thanks. It looks like Firefox doesn't enable auto-scroll by default on Linux, but does enable middle-mouse paste. I'm not totally clear on the interaction between those if both are enabled or how Wayland (which Zotero 7 now uses if available) affects this, but for now we've gone ahead and enabled general.autoScroll in 7.0.1-beta.1.
Thank you, sounds good to me. I'm on Wayland, and my experience (just tested in Firefox and in Zotero 7) is that `middlemouse.paste` can be true even if `general.autoScroll` is also true. The only limitation in this case is that you cannot initiate an auto-scroll while the cursor is over a text input; with `middlemouse.paste` false, you can initiate an auto-scroll over a text input.
I personally turn middle-mouse pasting off wherever I can, but my gut tells me that leaving it on would be the more popular decision, especially since it would not prevent auto-scrolling in most cases. It frustrates me that Electron apps (Discord, Slack, Spotify) do not allow you to disable middle-mouse pasting, and I'm glad Zotero at least offers an easy backdoor solution.
Upgrade Storage
That could potentially fix the middle-click triggered scrolling issue, but no guarantees, because I wasn't able to reproduce it.
Let us know if the issue is fixed.
Same also on Ubuntu 23.04.

Scrolling in tablet mode using touch input works just fine now! :)
Scrolling by clicking the mouse-wheel is still not working... :(
I'm running Zotero 7.0.0-beta.60+91e1c6ca3 (64-bit).
I also noticed I cannot auto-scroll by clicking the mouse-wheel.
Is there any workaround this?

I don't really know what's the problem but this is inconvenient as I am using trackpoint, now I have to press pg down/up or scroll using touchbar :(

This fixed it for me: Edit → Settings → Advanced → Config Editor → general.autoScroll → true
