I don't use Windows that often, but I think this is a Windows thing rather
than a VM thing.  Depressing the roller appears to throw the system into
some sort of `scrolling state', the exact behavior of which I haven't been
able to figure out.  I've experienced this in several applications,
including XEmacs.

It may be possible to configure Windows such that it interprets this as a
middle click rather than a scroll mode toggle, probably by fooling around
in the mouse control panel.  I'm not entirely certain about this, however.

HTH,

Richard
