Scroll/ page down problem in IE/ Outlook

I’ve searched, and this hasn’t come up, which surprises me.

Are you experiencing problems paging down in IE/ Outlook? Not when pressing the ‘page down’ key, but when clicking in the vertical scroll bar. When I click, I go two pages down, not one.

A technically-inclined friend informs me that this is a side-effect of the most recent MS Windows Update, although having had a quick scan on their site, I can’t confirm this. He’s on Win2K, I’m on XP, so it strikes me as surprising that, if it is a side-effect, that MS aren’t getting roasted for it- it’s extremely annoying, and reflects very badly on them- they can’t secure their software without f***ing around with basic GUI functionality?

Anyone know any more on this?

Here is an eWeek article detailing the issues. On a cursory glance, it appears that MS is aware of the issue, but there’s no fix currently.
