Attaching a screenshot to illustrate the bug. ** Description changed:
- Although scrolling does not work using trackpads on notebooks or - netbooks, there the bounding boxes of the icons are a huge obstacle for - the usability. As they are very large, there is almost no room between - them. + Although scrolling now works using track pads on mobile devices, there + is a huge usability problem for scrolling in lenses. These problems + originate from the large bounding boxes around the icons. - First of all this odd, as the highlight of the icons that appears when - you move close to this is way smaller. Second of all, as I am constantly - hovering over some icon although I am actually far away for it, - scrolling with the track pad becomes very difficult as the trackpad - oftentimes firstly registers the scrolling as a mouse click, launching - an application rather than scrolling down. + The behavior of the bounding box is unintuitive. First of all, even if you are still far away from an icon with your cursor, the corresponding icon is highlighted and clickable. Only a small area around the icon is highlighted though, which is in no correspondence with the bounding box. + Second of all, as I am constantly hovering over some icon although I am actually far away for it, scrolling with the track pad becomes difficult as the track pad oftentimes firstly registers the scrolling as a mouse click, launching an application rather than scrolling down. Therefore I am force to use the scroll bars. A solution to this problem would be to make the bounding boxes smaller. This way it would be easier to move the mouse between the icons and use that area to scroll. It has to be noted that this is no issue in unity 2D. Here, the bounding boxes and also the highlighting are completely different, and in my opinion solved better. ** Attachment added: "comparison.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/742655/+attachment/1963182/+files/comparison.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/742655 Title: Scrolling with trackpad is very difficult in lenses -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
