I've tried searching for the issue I've been experiencing but was unable to find anyone else mentioning it. Perhaps I'm the only one it's happening to or perhaps I'm not using the correct search terms. At any rate, my issue is that while using the mouse scroll wheel to navigate through images, sometimes a single scroll will act like two scrolls and skip past an image, displaying the skipped image only briefly like I actually scrolled twice instead of once. Other times I will scroll once and Irfanview will go to the next image and then immediately go back to the image I was just on, as if I scrolled forward once and immediately scrolled back. It doesn't happen every time but it does happen rather frequently and it's been happening for many past versions of Irfanview. I'm currently on the latest version, 4.44, the 32 bit version. I'm running 64-bit Windows 10 with a Intel Core i7 and 16 GB RAM.
For a while I just thought it was my mouse, even though the scroll wheel never seemed to glitch on other programs, but then when I got a laptop it would happen on that too using a wireless USB mouse. And when I got a new USB mouse for my PC it continued to happen. Perhaps it's a program I have installed, though since it happens on both my PC and laptop it would need to be a program installed on both. It's been happening for years and I've gone through at least 2 PCs and 3 laptop since I noticed it. I don't remember far enough back to say if it happened on Windows XP, but it definitely happened on Windows 7 and is now on Windows 10. Occasionally I try searching Google to see if anyone else has the same issue but I never find anything. So it seems like this is just happening to me, which I find strange.
Another thing I tried was using the forward and back buttons on the mouse to navigate instead of the scroll wheel, but the same thing seems to happen with those buttons as well. I can't try that on my laptop because the wireless mouse does not have those extra buttons. Has anyone ever had this experience or am I somehow cursed? I'm really not sure if I should be declaring this a bug since no one else apparently experiences it, but it sure feels like a bug to me as the program is not behaving as intended by the programmer. If it's not a bug, please move this thread to the appropriate forum. Thanks all!
