SYMPTOMS

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a bug in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.

WORKAROUND

To turn off the smooth scrolling feature of the list-view control and the list box control, follow these steps:
  1. In Control Panel, double-click Display.
  2. On the Appearance tab, click Effects.
  3. Click to clear the Use the following transition effect for menus and tooltips check box.
Applications can use the SPI_SETLISTBOXSMOOTHSCROLLING parameter when calling the SystemParametersInfo function to enable or to disable smooth scrolling in list-view controls and in list box controls.
