Enable viewport-based scrolling

My own version of this patch -- separates scrolling logic into three functions, next_index(), scroll_workspace(), scroll_viewport(). In Compiz mode, uses scroll_viewport(). Otherwise, uses the old code in scroll_workspace(). Applies against 2.24.
Comment 3 Travis Watkins 2009-05-12 09:05:17 UTC
Bump. I'm sure this patch will need to be updated for latest git but any comments on either approach would be appreciated.

Comment 5 David Whittington 2009-06-13 16:29:33 UTC
Just wondering if there's anything keeping this patch from being integrated?
Comment 6 David Whittington 2009-06-27 02:10:51 UTC
Just tested the first patch listed above against the latest code in SVN. It still applies cleanly and works with both Metacity and Compiz.
Comment 7 Travis Watkins 2009-08-27 13:34:56 UTC
John's patch tests for compiz instead of testing if viewports are in use, probably not the best idea as other window managers can use viewports and technically (although almost no one uses it) compiz can use virtual desktops instead of viewports. In either case this code will fail to work correctly.
Comment 8 Travis Watkins 2010-04-09 22:10:41 UTC
Bump again.
Comment 9 Maciej Kwidziński 2011-04-16 14:00:50 UTC
I'm looking forward to integrating this patch. It's a feature I really miss.

bugzilla.gnome.org is being replaced by gitlab.gnome.org. We are closing all old bug reports in Bugzilla which have not seen updates for many years.

If you can still reproduce this issue in a currently supported version of GNOME (currently that would be 3.38), then please feel free to report it at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-panel/-/issues/

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
