Hi, hope this is the right place for this...

I find that *sometimes* I'm not able to keyboard scroll webpages on TMD. I haven't figured out what triggers it, but when it happens, pressing up/down/pgup/pgdown on the keyboard won't do anything. Mouse scroll works fine though.

The only way to fix this problem is to click on the scroll bar on the right side, then I am temporarily able to keyboard scroll until it happens again.

I'm surprised that no one else has brought this up, though I suspect not many people use keyboard scroll as their main means of navigating, so... is anyone else experiencing similar issues?

I've seen this thread posted several times, and I'm pretty sure it's a universal problem. Clicking anywhere other than the scroll bar is what triggers it.

It's not a Simple Machines issue (the software we use), I can tell you that.

you may have a particular widget set as your focus. It can happen on youtube after pressing play/pause or fastforwarding. Once this is set, keyboard events are passed to that widget instead of the parent window. By clicking on the scrollbar (or removing focus from the widget) you're refocusing to the parent window.

Works as intended.
