I mostly using the wheel on the mouse or the touchpad to do some
scrolling.
I'm not a Gnome 3 expert so I can't suggest anything special or hiddne
feature. But I would like to point you to the Gnome help.

On the other hand this is a Gnome specific question, we can reassign
this bug to gnome-desktop.

Thanks for that feedback, I wasn't aware of the right mouse button doing
that.  It appears to work for me, but it scrolls exactly the number of
items visible in the window, which is a bit disconcerting as I don't
know if I've skipped over anything.  Is there any way to scroll smoothly
one row at a time without a scroll wheel?

this isn't a Icedove specifiv behavior, isn't?

It's a feature of the Gnome 3 DE philosophy with the Adwaita theme, just
use the right mouse button on the scrollbar to scroll further or down a
window height.

Bug#827190: can't scroll large mailboxes

2016-06-13 Thread Daniel Pocock
Package: icedove
Severity: important
Version: 38.7.0-1~deb8u1

Ever since upgrading to jessie and GNOME 3, I've had trouble with
scrolling large mailboxes (mailboxes with thousands of messages)

On computers with a scrolling wheel on the mouse, it is possible to
scroll up and down a few messages at a time by turning the wheel

If there is no scroll wheel, the only way to scroll is using the scroll
bar.  The scroll bar doesn't have up and down buttons at the top and
bottom for scrolling by a small amount.  Clicking in the scrollbar is
too coarse and it always moves by a large amount.

Please put back the buttons in the scroll bar
