It seems to scroll one page per wheel tick, which is way too much. If you're used to using a wheel then you almost certainly have scrolled multiple pages with a single flick of the wheel. On the other hand, waiting for multiple ticks would also be unacceptable (would feel unresponsive and cause more bug reports). So I think the only solution here is to implement proper smooth touchpad-style floating point scrolling, and let a mouse wheel tick be some proportion of that (historically 15.0f?).

The former is continuous and the latter discrete button events. But if bug 707973 improves the wheel case too then let's keep this as a duplicate.

You only have one event per tick, and you have no way to know when you stopped scrolling save for having a timeout, which is unacceptable as written above. :) So doing that would lead to the page being stuck at the middle. So, any other suggestions?

Because that way it's scrolling at the same pace as everything else in the world that responds to mouse wheels. Perhaps the problem here is that there is a "middle". Maybe the grid should be sized such that there is no obvious gap between pages. Then it would either never need to snap, or at worst would only need to snap to the next row of icons. Not a page.

What about workspaces, which use exactly the same scrolling model and can't be made continuous?

So long as the problem description is accurate then that's all I'm concerned about. That means keeping this bug open.

Anyway, paginated scrolling cannot be 100% smooth with a mouse wheel, so I'm not positive it's possible to fix this other than tweaking the timeout without breaking the whole paginated model. Anyway, switching multiple pages per flick is impossible now, so :shrug: Reply at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome- shell/+bug/1694373/comments/33 ** Changed in: gnome-shell Status: Unknown => Confirmed ** Changed in: gnome-shell Importance: Unknown => Medium -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1694373 Title: Gnome Shell app list scrolls too quickly with mouse wheel To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-shell/+bug/1694373/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
