Summary: 4.6.1: mouse wheel strangeness Project: GNU Midnight Commander Submitted by: johnpye Submitted on: Wed 08/17/05 at 07:47 Category: Core Severity: 3 - Normal Status: None Privacy: Public Assigned to: None Open/Closed: Open Release: 4.6.0 Platform Version: GNU/Hurd _______________________________________________________ Details: When I use the mouse wheel in Midnight Commander, hoping to scroll up and down my directory listing just as VIM scrolls me up and down a document, I get some strange behavious. When I get to the end of the listing and attempt to keep scrolling, MC seems to change to another directory. It seems to be going into my history or navigating up the directories or something. Although this might be a "feature" it causes me constant headaches. Partly because there is no visual queue that I am at the bottom or top of the directory listing, so I don't know when I'm about to be whisked off to one of these other directories. But mostly because in all the other programs I use, I can scroll up and down with the wheel knowing that nothing bad will happen. Think of it as a nervous tic, that needs to be tolerated... :) Another, smaller issue, is that the scrolling happens a screenful at a time. It would be more intuitive if it scrolled a few lines at a time. Maybe if other people like the current behaviour it could be made into some kind of user preference or option, "slow-scrolling mouse wheel" or something like that? _______________________________________________________ Carbon-Copy List: CC Address | Comment ------------------------------------+----------------------------- johnpye | _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=14155> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/ _______________________________________________ Mc-devel mailing list http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc-devel
