Back/Forward buttons don't work in Help (Document Explorer)

Since installing VS 2005 Beta 2 I have noticed that the back and forwards button on my Logitech MX-1000 mouse do not seem to be recognised in the Help application (Document Explorer).

They do work fine everywhere else (in IE, for example).

Does the logitech mouse allow you to define additional keystroke shortcuts for those buttons? if so, just define alt-left_arrow and alt-right_arrow for back and forward.

Hi Josh,

That's a nice example of lateral thinking :) Unfortunately this would break back/forward support in all the other apps that implement it correctly but don't respond to alt-left/right.

Cheers,
Jon

Weird...

Just to make sure, does Back/Forward work as you'd expect when you click the Back/Forward items on the toolbar? I'm just making sure it's certain than the mouse forward/back are the only problem.

Thanks,
Jeremy Jones
