GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 537552
Scrolling doesn't work in Compact View
Last modified: 2009-03-05 21:13:50 UTC
Instead of Icon View or List View, Select the new Compact View. If you have enough files in the folder you'll get a horizontal scrollbar on the bottom of the window. Now try scrolling with your mousewheel. Nothing happens. Expected result: In Compact View, Scrolling with the wheel should scroll sideways. Other information:
I can confirm this bug.
Thanks. I filed bug 550095 against GTK+ because ideally we want better scroll interaction inside GTK+, rather than just inside Nautilus.
I've just tried the new compact view in nautilus and really like it, but I think it's unusable because of the way scrolling works.
