Problems With Microsoft's Latest Patches

The Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer, which addresses numerous security flaws in Internet Explorer 6, introduces bugs involving the scrollbar. After the patch is applied, the page scrolls up or down twice when the user clicks once in the empty areas of the scrollbar. Clicking on the scrollbar arrows or dragging the scrollbar thumb works correctly.

From Binknu (read it because other little annoyances happen too in IE)

I also confirm having issues with the scroll bar. I discovered it when I was writing a post and lose the selection of the text everytime I tried to use the scrollbar.

Surely, this will be escalated by Microsoft support and fix soon. Thankfully this happen only with IE.

  • A not so related problem with the scroll bars, but a problem with a Microsoft patch none the less. I installed a fresh copy of Windows 2000 server (sp4 & latest hotfixes). Set it up to do NAT and route traffic for my private LAN. I then installed SQL Server 2000 & SP3a. When I brought the machine back to the network, my private LAN had weird surfing behavior. Problems accessing websites & parts of websites not downloading completely. Though, when I tried accessing the same sites from the server, all was fine. Because I had ghost images of the server at different stages, I was able to track this down to a SP3a problem. Hopefully Microsoft will spend a couple extra $$$ in the future on one or two more testers...
