cwo <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] Resolution|--- |DUPLICATE Status|REOPENED |RESOLVED --- Comment #4 from cwo <[email protected]> --- Older versions are an option because I don't think bugzilla allows us to disable them entirely. Pre-6.3 versions are no longer supported by KDE at this point (except for 5.27, which is technically still the active LTS release, but practically has no further releases planned), so a bot closes them automatically. The on-button scrolling function is intended primarily for particular kinds of devices, mostly Thinkpad-style pointing sticks and possibly finger trackballs, where they're there to emulate a scroll wheel. This is an upstream libinput option, we're just allowing users to enable it as they see fit. It literally replaces pointer movements with scrolling events, and this is the point of the option. That this breaks middle-button dragging is documented and intended upstream behavior - it's there to trade middle-button dragging for scroll-wheel emulation, something that users of some pointing devices (typically without a scroll wheel or other built-in scrolling function) are accustomed to. For more information on this function, see here: https://wayland.freedesktop.org/libinput/doc/latest/scrolling.html#on-button-scrolling We should probably add some helper text that informs users of this tradeoff. I'll try to get it in before 6.4 string freeze this week. There are two feature requests to allow toggling the function with a key binding (bug 504011), and on a per-app/window basis (bug 504010). I'm marking this as a duplicate of the second one, but from your description I guess what you really want is Windows-style auto-scrolling, which is tracked in bug 439610. Feel free to subscribe to that report if you're interested in this feature. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 504010 *** -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
