I do it sometimes compulsively, but I think it started for a legitimate reason: clicking to make sure the text has focus. That way when I use up/down/PageUp/PageDown to scroll, the text actually scrolls. If there is a textbox that has focus, up or down jumps to that textbox instead which drives me bonkers.
Also, recent versions of Firefox have a bug where after you bookmark a page, if you've added a tag, the page loses focus and has to be clicked to re-focus (otherwise keyboard scrolling is broken). So far this has never bothered me quite enough to check if the bug was reported.
Edit: Since I cared enough to write about it here, I filed a bug report: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=815812 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=815812
- blktiger 14y agoIf you were on a MAC you would only have to make sure the mouse cursor is over the area you wanted to scroll. :P
- graue 14y agoI am actually using a MacBook Air, but I prefer keyboard to two-finger scrolling most of the time.
- z92 14y agoAir arrow keys are half the size of regular keys, which makes scrolling through keyboard even more painful for me. The button is like a single button, and you have to hit its top half or bottom half to scroll. I had been using two finger scrolling since Lion. But most PC user that tries to scroll a page on my laptop, finds it very difficult.
