Loving the switch from Eclipse to NetBeans. Anyone know how to increase the number of lines scrolled using the mouse wheel in the editor window? Currently it only goes one at a time -- i'd like it to do at least three.

NetBeans picks up the number of lines to scroll from the OS.

On XP you set the number of lines to scroll with Control Panel > Mouse > Wheel > Scrolling

On KDE, its System Settings > Keyboard and Mouse > Mouse > Advanced.

I assume there is something similar for Gnome, but I don't see it off hand.

No, it doesn't respect OSX settings.

I'm struggling with this on Mac OS X, snow leopard, with a Microsoft mouse and IntelliPoint 7.1, and NetBeans 6.8. Vertical scroll settings work well in other apps, such as Firefox, but Netbeans only scrolls one line per mouse wheel click.

Upgrading to snow leopard has solved my mouse wheel scroll issues.

Installing SL was the trick.

Same issues here on Mac OSX 10.5.8 with Logitech Mouse (LX3). Other apps are working with OS settings, only Netbeans seems to ignore them.

I'm having this problem too. I use a Wacom tablet with a mouse. Netbeans takes no heed whatsoever of the OS preferences. I also use Netbeans on a Ubuntu workstation with no problems.

Unfortunately a move to Snow Leopard is not an option for me as I have a G4. I'm sure this problem is recent - perhaps the last update - I use Netbeans regularly, if not frequently, on my Mac and if it had been an issue before I would have used TextMate or something.
