---- Reported by geary-maint@gnome.bugs 2013-03-15 15:00:00 -0700 ---- Original Redmine bug id: 6588 Original URL: http://redmine.yorba.org/issues/6588 Searchable id: yorba-bug-6588 Original author: John Kim Original description: It's a hassle to scroll to the bottom to access the horizontal scrollbar. Geary can flawlessly go scroll vertically up or down. On this case, I'm using a Thinkpad X220, which includes a touchpad and a point stick control embedded on the keyboard. On, for instance, an HTML message, I cannot scroll left or right to see the contents by swiping from left to right on the touchpad. That also applies to the point stick control, which I execute by holding the middle mouse button and pointing the stick control to the right.

I think that horizontal scrollbar should stick to the bottom of current view in the message pane. It would help also a keyboard shortcut, like hold Shift and mouse scrolling (as in Evince) while you hover the message pane, in order to avoid any clicking.
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/geary/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
