I was talking about touchpads on Windows. I have no idea about MacOS

I see, on linux Chrome has odd behavior where it seems to allow vertical scrolling when diagonal scrolling is done. That behavior is really weird when one uses it. Makes scrolling feel like all broken since viewport is scrolled somewhat randomly. It is hard to control whether to do only up-down or left-right scrolling on a touchpad or a bit both. > Anyway, I don't think that we should use this feature when the user's device > is obviously non-legacy pointing device, i.e., it supports diagonal scroll. > What do you think? But this is enabled on touchpads too, if the pref is set. Could we somehow enable it on mouse input only, and not touchpad? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1228250 Title: [Shift + Mouse-Scroll-Wheel] Does NOT Scroll Horizontally To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/1228250/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
