Scrolling by the mouse wheel not working..

Hello, I have problem - after update of Thunderbird (few months ago), mouse wheel doesn't work only in Mozilla Thunderbird :( Of course I tried uninstall program, install again, but it didn't help.

Now I was trying with older versions of program - ~100 didn't working properly, but in 84.0b2 wheel is working properly :D This is beta version, and it propose to install the newest beta (121) - also wheel isn't working.

How solve the problem, and install the newest version of program? I have Win10, and I was trying to use different mouses (on cable, wireless).

Greetings

OK. In normal startup, try disabling Hardware Acceleration in settings. Does that help?

Does it work with Help > Troubleshoot Mode?

I didn't see that someone already have the same problem, the fix is (from thread"Mouse scroll wheel not working anywhere in V115"): "Start TB in normal mode, disable hardware acceleration in Settings/General/Indexing, restart TB, test the scrolling."

Thanks for help, now I can back from bad Outlook and I'm very happy ;)
