Does that only applies to long menus in NetSurf?
If so, then presumably NetSurf's menus look just like NetSurf windows and
HID now sends them scroll requests as well. Unless those requests end up
being sent to NetSurf so that it can scroll the menus manually in the way
that HID would have done before (I'm not sure, and I'm not near enough to
a RISC OS box to check), then there's no way around the problem. Even if
they do, it will be messy and I suspect we're straying into "undocumented
areas" of the Wimp.
This could be more of an HID feature than a NetSurf one: I'll investigate
when I get the chance. As I said in my first post, scroll wheel support
on RISC OS is something of a minefield... :-(
