GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 88532
GtkMenu support scrolling by wheel
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
Package: gnome-panel Severity: normal Version: 2.0.2 Synopsis: Mouse wheel does not scroll large menus as intuitively expected Bugzilla-Product: gnome-panel Bugzilla-Component: Panel Description: Description of Problem: If I open a large menu (say, Debian/Games/Arcade on my system :), the menu does not fit on screen and arrows appear on top and/or bottom to scroll the menu. Intuitively, also the mouse wheel should scroll it, but it doesn't. Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Open a large menu. 2. Try to scroll it with the mouse. 3. Get disappointed. Actual Results: Menu does not scroll with the mouse wheel. Expected Results: Menu should scroll with the mouse wheel. How often does this happen? All the time. Additional Information: I'm not sure if this is a panel or GTK problem, as I am unable to produce such large menus and study their behaviour on other programs. So, as I don't even know if these are stock GTK menu things, I'm reporting it here. I trust you'll forward the report if appropriate. -- Mikko Rauhala - mjr@iki.fi - <URL:http://www.iki.fi/mjr/> - WTA member - <URL:http://www.transhumanism.org/> ------- Bug moved to this database by unknown@bugzilla.gnome.org 2002-07-18 12:57 ------- The original reporter (mjr@iki.fi) of this bug does not have an account here.

If this was going to be implemented anywhere it would be gtk+, so moving there.
Shoudl be relatively easy to add. Does Windows have the feature? How much should the menu scroll per click?
amount per wheeling is equivalent to other scrollable widget's default rate, I suggest with no afraid. why differ?
Not sure why I'm listed as QA on this bug.
