Bug ID: 420918
Summary: Switch workspaces with mousewheel broken
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.18.4
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: Folder
Assignee: h...@kde.org
Reporter: crazy-ivano...@gmx.net
CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
With several virtual workspaces configured and the mouse wheel vertical scroll
configured to allow switching between workspaces, it does not work if "folder
view" is selected. Switching does work in "Desktop" mode. Switching via middle
click does work as well. The same issue is described on this forum post:
https://forum.endeavouros.com/t/switching-workspaces-with-mouse-wheel-stopped-working/4112
Speculation by JanKusanagi in the #kde IRC chan is that this is due to the
folderview widget kidnapping the mouse wheel. The behavior of switching
desktops via mousewheel changed some versions ago earlier this year (running
archlinux ~amd64). A downgrade to an older package plasma-desktop back from the
days when it was (most likely) still working did not help though.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Configure >1 workspace, apply changes
2. Configure workspaces, change layout to "folder view" and ensure that
vertical scrolling as well as middle click is set to "change workspace", apply
changes
3. move the mouse to the desktop area and use the wheel to scroll vertically,
afterwards use middle click
OBSERVED RESULT
Nothing happens when scrolling vertically, middle click opens the workspace
selector as expected
EXPECTED RESULT
Switching workspaces or at least an information that this is not possible via
wheel in folder view, middle click opens the workspace selector as expected
