When I am selecting text in word (orhighlighting data in excel) and I get to
the bottom of the page, the scroll speed reaches insane levels and goes all
the way to the end of the document.

This occurs whether I move the mouse way below the lower bounds of the
window, or barely touch the lower bounds.

This problem has been around for a long time and I was wondering if there is
a way to slow it down. You would think that they would have fixed this
problem by now.
