I hope this helps a lot of people but this problem is not isolated to just one browser. It happens on all of them and not just to Windows. I have an Apple and had the same issue. Here is what I found, it only happens seemingly with a Bluetooth mouse. I would have to say it is a Bluetooth issue. I am using presently a mouse connection with the usb or C, and have not had it happen so far.

That's a shame. You really shouldn't have to switch from a Bluetooth mouse to a corded one just to have Microsoft Bing function properly. I have this same problem too, but I'll be damned if I have to go and acquire a corded mouse to use Bing. I'll stop using Bing altogether before even thinking of such thing. As a matter of fact, this is driving me nuts today (more than usual) and that is what prompted me to try to search for a solution or bug report. Thus, here I is. And now seeing that this is a known issue and many are experiencing it and all who've mentioned sending in a bug report like myself have only received the same boilerplate/non-response from MS, I've just decided the hell with it. I'm switching back to Google and the Duck. I don't like Google, but at least I can do my work and research without having to deal with things like this as if it is still the 90s.
Hell, as much as I don't like defending Google, but could you imagine a bug like this going on with them, and yet they're letting it go on and on without addressing it?

- GaryJonJonSep 25, 2023Copper Contributorcorded mouse? heheheh bing.com springs back to the top of the page because "AwayTimeThreshold' is set to 15 seconds in the java script of the page itself. it's not you it's by design. microsoft wants it to do that. i placed the fix for this in this thread.

No such setting on my computer. Tampermonkey does work though

Could you imagine Google having to use a "fix" or workaround such as tampermonkey just to get their search engine to function correctly? What the hell is wrong with Microsoft, are they daft? 🙂
- lakota204Mar 10, 2023Copper ContributorI stopped using Bing altogether too. I don't like using that type of mouse. Bluetooth is so much better.
- Anthony1967Mar 10, 2023Brass ContributorThat's terrible. I hoped at least maybe you were able to find a way. Sorry it didn't work out for you either. It doesn't seem MS really is taking the situation seriously, if at all. LOL, maybe it's time to break MS up like Ma Bell was decades ago. 🙂 Yeah, I know… apples and oranges. Just my frustration getting the best of me.
