This #ThinkPad so far has been great. #OS and #firmware #updates are regularly available. Performance is snappy and smooth and it handled my long uptimes just fine.
Except I do have one peculiar issue when scrolling down on a webpage the action becomes stuck. ALL webpages just scroll on their own to the very bottom of the page. No key presses, combinations, or even the ESC key fixes or interrupts this. Clicking on a menu item like File causes the selected options to cycle infinitely. The *only* fix is to reboot the laptop.
I've never seen this on any other distro or laptop.
Has anyone else experienced this?

@peteorrall I would double check if that's not the problem with keyboard. Sounds like clicked button or combination. If you can, take out and unplug the keyboard from the motherboard. Then plug in random USB keyboard and check if it behaves the same. Invasive solution but you can be sure that it's not the laptop keyboard.

@peteorrall Does it make a difference how you start scrolling? Down arrow key, Page Down key, touchpad, trackpoint?
