GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 237747
After scrolling with the mouse wheel in message preview pane, PgDn key acts on message list pane

- Start evolution, which for me, goes immediately to the inbox - scroll the lower message window - the one with message text in it -- by moving the lower scrollbar with the mouse (same problem you use the mousewheel) - click PgDn The upper window -- the one with message headers in it -- does PgDn instead of the lower one where I was reading the message. I would expect the PdDn button to have affected the lower window, since the lower scrollbar adjustment provides a clue that that's what I was looking at. Bug? Usability Issue? I don't know, but this gets me every day. It's a little irksome because when the upper window PdDn's instead of the lower one, the text I'm reading disappears and gets replaced by whatever message the upper window has PgDn'ed to. Then I have to scroll through the headers again to resume reading.
confirming still there in 1.4.5
Bumping version to a stable release.
This works properly in the WebKit2 port with webkitgtk 2.11.91, when dragging the scroll-bar button or clicking in it. Using the wheel is another story, it's not meant to change focused widget. Let's wait for the final port and retest with it.
The WebKit2 port finally landed. As I mentioned, the wheel scroll is not meant to change focus, the scrollbar-click moves the focus, as expected/requested, thus I'm closing this in favour of the evolution 3.21.90+.
