Since I only had experience with a scrollmouse on Windows I indeed used that behaviour. > Note that Qt4 and Gtk2 seem to implement (my) the desired behavior in > different ways: while using the scrollwheel on an unfocused Qt4 scrollview > changes the focus to the widget and triggers the scrolling action, on Gtk2 > the > scrolling occurs without the focus change, as far as I can tell here (Qt4 > 4.5.3 and Gtk2 2.18.9 on Debian squeeze). I don't intend to change the keyboard focus when scrolling only which widget to scroll. Unless somebody complains I will change the scroll behaviour and let it follow the mouse focus. -- Regards, Mark de Wever aka Mordante/SkeletonCrew _______________________________________________ Wesnoth-dev mailing list Wesnoth-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/wesnoth-dev
