David Jurenka's patch works (Many Thanks!), but only for the window list, not the workspace switcher - which is actually where I get the most problems: I've used Windows for years, so I generally use Alt-Tab to switch windows, but I still use the mouse to switch workspaces. As suggested by xtknight, running "killall gnome-panel && gnome-panel" will restart the panels, without requiring a log-out.
@ Vish - I agree with psarhjinian and zorblek - this definitely meets the requirements of a papercut. @Marcus #48 - why should the workspace switcher be a separate bug? As I see it, everyone who has a problem with one, will have a problem with the other. Also, any discussion about options, their locations in menus/gedit, and their defaults, would apply equally to both threads. If it has already been created as a separate bug, does anyone have a link? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libwnck in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/39328 Title: Disable scrolling on window list to flip through windows Status in Desktop panel for GNOME: Invalid Status in One Hundred Paper Cuts: Invalid Status in The Window Navigator Construction Kit: libwnck: New Status in “libwnck” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: On a laptop track pad, it's really easy to accidentally use the "scrolling goes through windows" feature of the new g-p. I believe this would warrant disabling the functionality (maybe only if a trackpad is detected? is this doable?) or at least offering an option to do so. As a workaround, you can install packages from the following PPA that were compiled with the “scrolling on task list” feature disabled. https://launchpad.net/~libwnck-noscroll/+archive/ppa To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-panel/+bug/39328/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
