GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 571770
Horizontal scroll on mouse wheel event
Last modified: 2009-02-20 11:10:13 UTC
The Compact View in Nautilus never has a vertical scrollbar (that's the whole point of the compact view, isn't it?), so it makes sense to scroll horizontally when the mousewheel is used, instead of rendering the mousewheel completely useless. A more general version of this issue is tracked in bug #558659, but for the Nautilus case the situation is a bit different (snice there's NEVER a vertical scrollbar). In bug 558659#c13, B. Smith states: > I don't have any opinion re how other apps should work, > but please fix this in Nautilus and Compact View.

Thanks, fixed for trunk and Nautilus 2.24: http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/nautilus?view=revision&revision=14979 http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/nautilus?view=revision&revision=14980 2009-02-20 Christian Neumair <cneumair {at} gnome.org> * src/file-manager/fm-directory-view.c (fm_directory_view_handle_scroll_event), (fm_directory_view_scroll_event): * src/file-manager/fm-directory-view.h: * src/file-manager/fm-icon-view.c (fm_icon_view_scroll_event), (fm_icon_view_class_init): Treat vertical scroll events as horizontal ones if compact view is enabled, and if they do not bump the zoom level. Fixes #571770.
