That doesn't help either. It's particularly annoying with Edit when
you have a cpu-intensive process running in background. Edit jumps one
line every time it gets in.

With NetSurf it's the opposite. I try turning the scroll wheel very
slowly and nothing happens, then slightly faster and it jumps more
than a page.

I've noticed that recently I've had to log into my forum every
session. Previously I stayed logged in using a cookie. The forum
scripts haven't changed. Could this be something in NetSurf or could
it be caused by some security change on the server. Most of my hosting
problems are traced to mod-security settings.
