[Bug 39328] Re: Disable scrolling on window list to flip through windows
I have the problem on desktop too. The slightest accidental touch of the mouswheel while moving across the taskbar sends me zipping through windows. I could slow down the scroll speed, but then scrolling through a document would be slower than desired. I basically dont want my mouse wheel to do anything except scroll through windows unless a key is held down (like for zooming). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/39328 Title: Disable scrolling on window list to flip through windows To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-panel/+bug/39328/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 39328] Re: Disable scrolling on window list to flip through windows
This behaviour is truly awful on a laptop using trackpad scrolling. If I am scrolling a window down fast to the bottom, once I reach the end of the document the mouse cursor ends up over the task bar and before I know it I'm cycling through windows.

Please don't let this ticket die. It amounts to one new setting and one
new line (of pseudo-code):
onScroll() {
if (someSetting) return; // new line
doNormalScrollThing();
}
and would remove some *really* annoying behavior.

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.

This really should be fixed for Lucid. It drives novice users nuts: they issue a scroll command and their windows go thoroughly berzerk.

How do you tell users the way of scrolling has been changed? Users have been scrolling using the edges of the touchpad for years. You can't just change this to two-fingers scroll. If the edges don't work in a new release of Ubuntu, they'll think the developers screwed up the touchpad drivers and just re-install an older version of Ubuntu where this bug didn't excist. Yes, I know it's just disabled and users can re-enable it, but they don't know. How does the user know he has to use two fingers to scroll? The best way is to show a window showing an animated picture of how to scroll in this new version of Ubuntu.

[Bug 39328] Re: Disable scrolling on window list to flip through windows
I've been pinging vuntz for the last couple of weeks about this and other gnome-panel bugs ([1], or compiz problems with workspace switcher) but it seems he never got the time to look them through and commit them which is very sad. Now we're past hard code freeze and gnome-shell is getting all attention so I don't think this and other gnome-panel features will ever be committed unless someone takes over the maintenance of gnome-panel (vuntz said he won't). So, either we close this one as a wont fix (which is a shame) or applies this to ubuntu (problem because of strings that needs to be translated).

[Bug 39328] Re: Disable scrolling on window list to flip through windows
I haven't read the whole thread, but this is not a bug. I understand what has been mentioned and it can be annoying in some regard, but I love the scroll between windows/tabs with the scroll button. I don't use much on task bar, but I think that feature is a part of GTK that is used in Gnome... hence the same features in tabs in Firefox, dialog boxes, ets... In compiz, the feature of scrolling to change windows is anoying. I turned it off cause I always ended up on a part of a window (some regions would scroll text but if in wrong place, would read as a desktop hover scroll and flip my desktops. Easy answer here is to make that not a default action. I have noticed that on my laptop, I would have more erroneous flips,... I'd recommend not to change the default actions.

I can confirm this bug. When the cursor is too close to the gnome-panel Window List applet, and i use the scroll wheel, it scrolls through all windows.

I like the screenshot. It's (almost) perfect. I think the verbiage is slightly misleading. Instead of saying enable scrolling, something like Enable scroll wheel or Allow mouse scroll wheel to cycle windows is more descriptive. Otherwise it makes it sound like the list is being scrolled through, and not the windows themselves that are being scrolled through. While I understand where the above poster is coming from, *please do* consider making this the default. A bad default shouldn't be kept around simply because people are used to it. Think of the newcomers. They are the ones who need the more usable defaults anyway, not the veterans who are more capable of making such small adjustments. Of course the real question is whether this is a bad default.

Hello all, I’m totally new here. A friend linked me to this page as he knows I am a fervent defender of this windows scrolling feature.

My request is that, if you disable it, please let users reenable it and please, through something more intuitive than gconf (which I find totally user- unfriendly and which I would consider a classic user shouldn’t have to pass through, neither for enabling windows scrolling nor for hiding icons of mounted mass storages — but that’s not my point).
