[Opera Linux] Not working on Google results page + Workaround #195

Thanks a lot for your SmoothScroll extension for Opera! This is one of the little tools that improve life a lot.

Problem

Lately I started having a problem with scrolling on Google results pages: SmoothScroll would not work there at all. Scrolling was just unbearably slow with the mouse wheel, no matter what settings I changed.

Workaround

I thought there was a change in Opera, but then I found a workaround:

I had enabled

Scroll to the top of the page by clicking the active tab [ ]

under Settings -> Advanced -> User Interface

Disabling that again makes SmoothScroll work just nicely again on the Google results page (scrolling is still much too slow on Opera's settings pages, but I can live with that).

I thought you might want to know; other users might run into the same problem. Maybe mention it on the extension's home page?
