I would uninstall any mouse driver and use the standard windows driver.
My Intellimice and an older logitec mouse paired with the standard Win2k
"PS/2 Compatible Mouse" driver version 5.0.2183.1 worked w/o problem in 5.6
beta. I haven't received my new 5.6 license yet so I can't verify this for
the shipping version :(
I would also report your problems to RSI as a "bug" so a more robust
scrolling implementation can be worked on. Same goes for the poster running
Solaris, although most on the list will tell you to ditch IDLDE and use
IDLWave/Emacs as IDLDE for UN*X has always been a little sketchy.

AC,
Could you tell us which version of, and which mouse driver you are using?
We may like to load it and see if the problem will go away. We have tried to
update driver but without success. It may be some version of some driver IDL
5.6 doesn't not like. The error happens every time the middle (wheel) is
used.
Thanks,
MC

FYI.
Under W2K/IDL v5.6 with a Logitech wheel mouse the scroll works just
fine for me.

I'll jump in and add what I'm seeing (IDL 5.6 on a Solaris machine):
Every time I click that wheel it crashes IDL. I use that wheel to paste a
value into a text area.
IDL 5.4 did not have exhibit this behavior.

Did this happen just once, occasionally, or every time you scroll?
