Description Jeff Schroeder 2007-07-28 17:29:39 UTC 
OpenMoko was nice enough to release code demoing iphone-like kinetic scrolling in a listview. It would be nice if you could grab an empty part of a webpage and scroll like this.

Demo:

Comment 1 Reinout van Schouwen 2007-07-29 11:43:27 UTC 
The smooth scroll setting in Epiphany depends on Mozilla, I'm afraid that kinetic scrolling would also have to be implemented on the Mozilla side.
Comment 2 Xan Lopez 2007-09-22 06:39:50 UTC 
As for the webkit side, standard gtk+ widgets are used, so when gtk+ supports inertial scrolling it will just work.
Comment 3 Jeff Wheeler 2012-05-16 18:25:08 UTC 
Webkit GTK now supports smooth scrolling, supported by the GNOME 3.4 smooth scrolling work.

What needs to happen for Epiphany to benefit from this? Do we need to use the new smooth scrolling event masks in GTK?
Comment 4 Jeff Wheeler 2012-05-16 18:25:59 UTC 
The webkit gtk smooth scrolling bug report, now closed, is here: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16123
Comment 5 Xan Lopez 2013-03-19 13:01:23 UTC 
This works now if you enable org.gnome.epiphany.enable-smooth-scrolling (off by default). Closing.
