Scrolling through song lists is a little weird

[Madman]

If I scroll through a list of songs (e.g. my 'Albums' directory which contains ~5,000 artists for example, and then go into one of those artists (e.g. Simon & Garfunkel) which has more than a screenful of albums, the first thing I see is the albums part-way down the list (basically, the position where I was in the Albums directory). If I scroll down using the mouse wheel, it jumps me back to the top of the screen, where it should be.

The data it shows is all good, it just doesn't reset the viewport into the directories (sorry if that's bad terminology).

I can provide screenshots if you'd like, as it's kinda hard to me to explain

Ah yes, I've wanted to report that one (glad I used the search function) too.
It is really disturbing when I have to scroll back down all the way to "S" when I left the folder starting with an "S" and find myself at the top of the list, after I scroll in any direction.

To reproduce, just follow these steps:

• Open up a folder with a lot of subfolders
• Scroll down using the mouse wheel
• Open any folder
• Go back to parent folder
• Scroll in any direction and suddenly you'll be at the top of the list again.

A fix for this would be very nice ;)

Thanks--so basically what's happening is if you use the mouse wheel it's not respecting where you left off?

[nifelan]

Yes.

OK--got it. I'll see what we can do. I can see that if you have a large collection you'd be using the mouse wheel to scroll long distances.

Thanks. I'm hoping that you'll be able to fix this annoying bug

Yup, same issue here. When you start scrolling it jumps you back up to the top. (which isn't fun when you have 1000+ songs in a folder  )

One way to get around it (for the moment at least), is to just grab the scroll bar and drag that (instead of using the mouse wheel).

I just installed this, and I'm having this problem too.
I don't mind it when opening music, since I can just open pop-out which works fine, but I can't choose my location when trying to create an account, and dragging the scroll bar doesn't work either, in that as soon as I release it, it shoots back up to the top.
I haven't found any other place to create an account other than in-game, nor have I found any kind of solution.
If I've overlooked a solution or a software update or something, a point in the right direction would be much appreciated!
(Also, I've used a regular old mouse as well as the touchpad on my laptop, and have the same problem with both. I could probably get around this by just trying from another computer, but if there's a permanent fix, I'd rather that than having to work around it)

Just create the account with any value. Once it's created you can log in through the site (http://www.audio-surf.com/login.php) then click the 'account' link in the top-right and change your location to whatever you want.
