Here’s a laugh for you.

I am writing a paper on Unicode, the browser window on the left side of my screen is displaying a PDF document and the right window is displaying my Microsoft Word document. Every time I scroll the PDF document, the Word document scrolls too, but not vise versa. I had to navigate away from the PDF document and back again to get it to stop doing that. Well, I thought it was funny! :laugh:

One possible reason may be that the PDF document was focused, but the mouse was over the MS Word window, and while it was sendting scrolling events to the PDF document, the Word application was picking them up as well, since the mouse was over it. Ive had something similar happen to me, except with different apps.
During a lecture, a non-sleeping student is like a PC copying data from CD to HDD in DMA mode. That is, incoming data is written straight onto paper, bypassing the brain.

I tested for that, before posting, by focusing (clicking) on one and then the other. When Microsoft Word was in focus, only it scrolled unless I moved the mouse over the PDF document, in which case they would both scroll. When the PDF was in focus they both would both scroll if the mouse was over PDF but not when it was over the Word document. It looks like one of them decided to track the mouse outside of its boundaries; I would suspect Firefox (or the Adobe reader), but then the reverse of what was happening should have happened. :doh:
