Unity 4.2.2 - When Asset Store window is open and I use my mouse scroll wheel....

This has been plaguing me since the last version. In the new 4.22 version it’s worse.

Basically unity completely shuts down only when I use the scroll-wheel of my mouse within the asset store window. If the asset store window is not open everything works fine.

I have tried removing the mouse drivers and reinstalling them, system scans etc but to no avail. The mouse is a Razer Diamondback 1600. I have had this mouse for donkeys years and it has never been a problem with Unity.

What could be causing this?

I’ve posted about this problem previously. I have filed a bug report as requested.

No contact or post or reply from anyone with a single bit of info as to why this is happening. Not only that the bug report regarding unity crashing at random times when you click the play button has also gone unanswered.

I’m pissed off, f***ked off and angry. No replies either to emails I sent regarding the problem. %(&JN

Hey,

could you please give me the case number, so I can investigate this issue?

Best wishes,

Oh, maybe that’s what is causing Unity to just shut on me after updating to Windows 8.1. I tried the other forum suggestions for Windows 8.1 crashes, but this crash just exits to desktop without any messages.

EDIT: Yup! Thank you very much for letting me know what was causing my weird crash. I can use the asset store fine as long as I don’t use the scroll wheel on my mouse. I now consider that to be the most uniquely weird bug I have ever seen.

This is happening to me as well. Windows 8.1 update yesterday, problem started today. I thought the worse but turns out its just the mouse wheel.

Very weird. I can use the asset store just fine by using the scroll bar on the right of the panel. MW up or down, kills the entire Unity application.

Same here.

Same, here. On Windows, the asset store window had some issues with scrolling before, but on Win 8.1 scrolling now often crashes the Unity editor. :frowning:

On Windows 8.1 Unity 4.2.2 scrolling with the mouse wheel in the Asset Store crashes for me as well.

Can someone please post a bug number, this would really help QA to solve the issue.

This is a Win8.1 issue. We have a fix for it internally which will be available in a future version of Unity.
