Distribution: Fedora Core release 2.92 (FC3 Test 3) Package: Evolution Priority: Normal Version: GNOME2.8.0 unspecified Gnome-Distributor: Red Hat, Inc Synopsis: middle mouse smooth scroll Bugzilla-Product: Evolution Bugzilla-Component: UI Bugzilla-Version: unspecified Description: Please describe your feature request: provide middle mouse smooth scroll like in firefox/mozilla and openoffice for scrolling through windows. Setting qa contact to the default for this product. This bug either had no qa contact or an invalid one.
what is this? i see no such feature in mozilla, middle mouse pastes a link.
in firefox go to about:config, type "middle" and look for "middlemouse.content.loadURL" and set it to false. the middle mouse button now provides smooth scroll just like it does in windows. this capability is available in firefox, mozilla and thunderbird on linux. and once you get used to it, it's quite nice.
in order to destroy the UI component (as discussed with jpr, dobey, and nags), changing component and reassigning. adding usability keyword. developers, please reassign appropriately if necessary.

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/Community/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new enhancement request ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
