Mouse "center scroll" and "pinch zoom" does not function when Adobe Acrobat is open in another tab
I have a Dell laptop whose touchpad has the ability to "center-button scroll" using either the right side of the touchpad or with a double-finger scroll (like on an Apple machine) as well as the "pinch zoom" feature.
I have noticed that in Firefox 4, if I have a PDF document open in one tab, I can use the scroll/zoom just fine within the Acrobat plugin, however if I go to a different tab, the features do not work. I have to close the tab or move away from the page where the PDF is being displayed and then the scroll/zoom becomes functional on all tabs again.
This was not an issue with Firefox 3.6. I am using Adobe Acrobat X (v.10.0.0).

Using similar scroll function on my netbook. To add to the above, I find that using scroll is actually causing the PDF to scroll rather than the tab I'm actually in.
Reader 9 is installed on my Win7 Starter.
Yes indeed -- you got it!
I had a PDF open in another tab and the scrolling stopped working in all tabs but that one. I didn't notice that the scrolling was happening in the PDF tab that did not have the focus!
Well, knowing this will allow me to avoid the problem, but it will still be annoying until we get a real fix, since I often want to leave tabs open with PDF files in them.
