Upstream bug report filed from: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eog/+bug/538564 --------------------------------- Binary package hint: eog $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 9.10 Release: 9.10 $ apt-cache policy eog eog: Installed: 2.28.1-0ubuntu1 Candidate: 2.28.1-0ubuntu1 Version table: *** 2.28.1-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://ubuntu.osuosl.org karmic/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status When I a zoom an image, I expect ctrl+ horizontal scroll to scroll across the image. Behaves as expected with right scroll. No activity with left scroll. Reproduce: 1. Zoom into the image 2. Scroll right with trackpad 3. Now scroll left with trackpad. Behavior only appears when using ctrl modifier so when /apps/eog/view/scroll_wheel_zoom is set true: user is unable to scroll left across image when zoomed when /apps/eog/view/scroll_wheel_zoom is set false: user is unable to zoom out with horizontal scroll This behavior appears to affect gThumb as well. In general, it seems that the HIG implementation for scrolling is all messed up, as it is a confusing set of different actions for each program with regards to image navigation and manipulation.
Just tried with eog 3.4 on Fedora 17 Alpha and it worked as expected for me. Note that I had to specifically enable horizontal scrolling in the system settings panel for it to work, otherwise only the mouse pointer will move.
