Scrolling in the text editor does not work using the laptop's trackpad. Other Java applications work. java version "1.6.0_14-ea" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_14-ea-b05) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 14.0-b13, mixed mode, sharing) NetBeans IDE 6.7 Beta (Build 200904242137)
Please provide your Laptop model and OS version, xorg.conf if on Linux. By 'scrolling' you mean scrolling using touchpad sidebar? Thanks.
Lenovo T61p running Microsoft Windows [Version 6.0.6001] (Windows Vista SP1). Yes, scrolling using the touchpad sidebar.
I have experienced exactly the same problem! Scrolling with touchpad (using side area of it) on my notebook does not work but it works fine with a mouse wheel. I have NetBeans 6.5.1 installed as well and the problem does not occur there. Product Version: NetBeans IDE 6.7 RC1 (Build 200905282243) Java: 1.6.0_13; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 11.3-b02 System: Windows Vista version 6.0 running on x86; Notebook Lenovo T500
Laptop: Lenovo X60S, T60, IBM T30. OS: Windows XP SP3 TrackPoint driver from Lenovo version 4.67.0.0 In version NB6.7, 6.7.1 do not work trackpoint scrolling (screen scrolling when "mouse" move with middle trackpoint buttom pressed) Attention, i write about TRACKPOINT, not about TOUCHPAD device! In NetBeans 6.1, 6.5, 6.5.1 this feature work well..
Googling on the web, I found a solution to this problem. Surprisingly, it is not a Netbeans-specific issue but the Lenovo's UltraNav software's bug. Just add the following lines to your C:\Program Files\Synaptics\SynTP\TP4table.dat file: ; Netbeans 6.7 support *,*,netbeans.exe,*,*,*,WheelStd,1,9 This works 100% for me. A restart is needed.

OK, closing as WORSKFORME, thanks for finding the solution. Reporter, please verify, thanks.
I had some problem as reporter.. I verify, all work fine after system restart. Only TP4table.dat file in my system was located at C:\program files\lenovo\trackpoint\tp4table.dat I think that it's need to change "trackpad" word in summary to "trackpoint"..
I modified the DAT file as indicated in the comments and it behaves correctly. So it is a Synaptic bug, not a Netbeans one. The reason why other Java applications worked, was due to the fact that the DAT file had java.exe. This can be closed, but recommend putting it into known issues or in an FAQ.
