That does not work. Autoscroll is off and web pages still scroll down when i press space.

It is not possible to disable this function of the space bar to scroll pages down or up (Shift + space bar) as that is built-in standard behavior.

What would you expect to happen if you press the space bar or are you pressing this bar by accident?

Thanx for the information.

I use the space bar as a PTT key for mumble. It's large and easy to find. And it get's quiet annoying when im for instance looking on the internet and communicating at the same time on mumble when my webpage starts running away from me.
