It does not seem to work on my HP Pavilion laptop. The
touchpad scroll does 
work in other apps. The mouse scroll wheel works in Wing.

Works for me with a Thinkpad R40 under X11-6.8.2 on Gentoo
Linux.  My touchpad 
does both up/down & left/right scrolling & both work
in Wing. I reported a 
bug about this a few dot releases ago, and it was quickly
fixed.  If you're 
not using the latest, you might try upgrading.

I'm also hooked on touchpad scrolling.  And my EraserMouse.
Why you would want 
to take your hands off the keyboard to move a mouse is
beyond me. ;)

Thanks again to WingFolks for the great support.

What OS are you using?  It could be a case of the touchpad
driver not 
emitting the messages that Wing expects when scroll-dragging
is used. 
It does work on my XP system with a Alps touchpad.  On the
other hand, 
the dedicated scroll button on some Thinkpads and other
laptops is known 
not to work with Wing under Windows because of how the
driver works.

Thanks,

John

Which os are you using ?
For me vertical scrolling works well with Linux 2.6.18 and
Xorg 7.1.
Horizontal scrolling doesn't work, but it less important.

FWIW, horizontal scrolling works for me on Ubuntu 5.10
(kernel 
2.6.12) with a Synaptics touch pad, although I'm not
terribly 
happy w/ the action, which can be a bit jumpy.  I don't know
if 
this is driver or pad specific or not.
