    Mouse scrolling does not work for long context menu.


    For some instances, I do have a long right click context menu which causes it to require clicking the 'up and 'down' buttons respectively to see the hidden options. However, a mouse scroll is more convenient. I have tried various makes of mouse but none of them seem to be able to enable me to wheel scroll in a right click context menu.

    Anyone knows of a way to do so ? Thanks :)

    I realize this is a very old thread, but, I did find one work around for "can't scroll in the right click context menu"...after right clicking, you can use the up and down arrow buttons on your keyboard to scroll the list, i am using Windows 10 on a desktop. Hopefully this will help some, it may have already been said, but I personally never knew the up and down arrow buttons would make it scroll.

    I realize this is a very old thread,
    An issue with old posts is we don't know if a problem has been fixed or if the OP/Original Poster is still around.

    Just tried right clicking on this page and got a context menu with up & down. My Logitech wireless mouse scroll wheel scrolled it ok.Mouse scrolling does not work for long context menu.-screenshot-96-.png

    That's a short context menu, not one that fills the screen as described in the thread with a triangle top and bottom.

    Behaviour is still the same in Win 10 22H2 19045.4046
    - either use the up/down keys, or click, click and hold on the triangles to scroll.

    (Is your screenshot from Win 11? - the corners look rounded).

    Agree it doesn't fill the screen but does have scroll arrows top and bottom.

    Ok, that's a Chrome context menu.

    Think file explorer... context menu from top to bottom of screen.
