Blue, for about a week and a half now, when I visit bluesnews.com, I can't use my scroll wheel to scroll the page until after I click in the page. Sometimes I have scroll-ability when the page first loads, but as I skim the first 2 or 3 stories, I lose it and have to click in the page again to get it back. Its as if something is taking my mouse focus out of the window. It doesn't happen on any other sites I visit, just this one.

I also tried using the traditional UP, DOWN, PAGEUP, and PAGEDOWN arrows on the keyboard as well as the space bar to scroll, but to no avail- until I click in the window again.

I did notice this in the status bar:
"Applet Measure started"

Any idea what this is?

I'm using IE5.5 under win2k, but it also happens with IE6sp1 under XP.
