Research direction

Start with the linked Mastodon post and the relevant text in this issue; no repository file or test is named. Draft the Calendar FAQ/troubleshooting article around the erratic mouse scrolling symptom and the smooth-scrolling setting workaround, with the article placed according to the knowledge-base conventions.】【。

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

While I don't have other info that could be added at this point, this community tip shared on Mastodon would fit nicely in this page once it's built!

Relevant text:

Finally found a solution for an annoying bug in @thunderbird:

The Calendar in Mozilla #Thunderbird 140.6.0esr on Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS
scrolls way too fast & erratic using a mouse. Both in the main calendar as well as the small calendar view in the sidebar. Touchpad is fine.

The solution: disable 'smooth scrolling' in Edit --> Settings (search for 'smooth scrolling')
