Description mjr 2002-07-18 16:57:58 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.

If this was going to be implemented anywhere it would be gtk+, so
moving there.
Comment 2 Owen Taylor 2002-07-30 03:43:21 UTC
Shoudl be relatively easy to add. Does Windows have the
feature? How much should the menu scroll per click?
Comment 3 kz 2003-01-26 14:41:18 UTC
amount per wheeling is equivalent to other scrollable widget's default
rate, I suggest with no afraid. why differ?
Comment 4 Luis Villa 2004-02-22 23:54:12 UTC
