In fairness, if they were dispatching the events properly, it would be rather trivial to write an autoscroll extension. (It's been done on Linux).
There's no harm in adding a built-in one, since the code is basically written. I just hope they don't eat the events when they do it. FWIW, extensions are built on top of the DOM. The most obvious need to catch a middle-mouse event is an extension, but this bug is likely breaking websites too. In other news, there's a fella named Pauan who noted in the comments of my extension that he's made an autoscroll extension for Linux. I've only seen one user in the Chrome community with that name. I bet it would be pretty easy to track him down and get a copy of it. =) On Dec 9, 6:21 am, Greg Oliver <[email protected]> wrote: > On the flip side, I would also like to see auto-scroll on Linux!
