VB6 IDE Mouse Wheel - Disappearing editor windows?
Anyone else seen the frustrating Disappearing windows which frequently occur when a VB6 developer touches the Mouse wheel?
We use: VB6 SP6 , MS Mouse Intellipoint 5.2 08/17/2004. We we use and are fairly happy with the MS's fix VB6IDEMouseWheelAddin.dll which was released Oct 2004, except for the IDE's disappearing editor windows. Quite frustrating...

I've seen this too. I don't have a fix. But if you always
click INSIDE a scrollable window, you won't have the problem.
The windows disappear when scrolling after clicking in the main MDE window background.
I guess it's some kind of re-positioning of all the client windows in
the interface. I really don't want to try to fix this bug so I
live with it. I tried to form a habit - click, then scroll.
Click, then scroll. This helps with web browsers too since
sometimes the scroll wheel controls the wrong object or nothing at all,
esp. with plugins like Acrobat.
