Developer’s Description

Fix the 'cannot scroll up using certain touch pads' issue for early releases of Google Chrome.

A patch to quickly fix the 'cannot scroll up using certain touch pads' issue for early releases of Google Chrome. The issue is caused by Google Chrome setting incorrect information about it's scroll bars. Scroll bars' positions appear to be at the top (or left if the scroll bar is horizontal). Some mouse software (i.e. the programs that run in the background/in your tray) use this information and do not send scroll up messages to Chrome (since the scroll bars already appear to be at the top).

Mouse software which does not use this information or mouses that do not need software to help them scroll will therefore not be affected. It is possible to patch the mouse software, but it makes more sense to patch/fix Chrome. This patcher fixes the 'cannot scroll up with certain mouse pads' issue. This version is the first release on CNET Download.com.
