New issue 6690 by ovidiug: When dragging with the middle button to smooth scroll, releasing the middle button should end scroll mode http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=6690 Chrome Version : 2.0.157.2 URLs (if applicable) : Other browsers tested: Add OK or FAIL after other browsers where you have tested this issue: Safari 3: Firefox 3: OK IE 7: OK What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Press the middle button 2. Holding it pressed, drag the mouse to scroll the page 3. Release the middle button What is the expected result? Chrome should exit smooth scroll mode, according to the common UI convention for smooth scroll. What happens instead? Chrome stays in scroll mode. Further mouse movements will scroll the page, until the next mouse button pressed. Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if possible. It was nice to see smooth scrolling using the middle button implemented in 2.0 beta (very handy on a Thinkpad), but it has a UI problem compared to how it works in other apps. In Firefox, IE and Word, there are two ways to smooth scroll: 1) Click the middle button outside of any clickable element. This enters smooth scroll mode -- any mouse movements scroll the page. Clicking any mouse button leaves scroll mode. 2) Press the middle button and drag around (with the button pressed). Smooth scroll mode is active for as long as the middle button is pressed. Chrome 2.0 supports only #1. If I try to do #2, smooth scroll mode stays active after the middle button is released, requiring another button press to deactivate. Since the mouse cursor for smooth scrolling is not all that visible (compared to e.g. Firefox), this sometimes tricks me into accidentally scrolling the page a huge amount when I want to move the mouse without realising I'm still in smooth scroll mode. Note that the #2 convention (dragging) is wide-spread, it also works in Acrobat Reader (which doesn't support #1) and in the Thinkpad drivers when set to emulate smooth scrolling for apps that don't support it. If this is an upstream WebKit issue, please forward accordingly (or tell me where to open a bug). -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
