Public bug reported:
Steps to reproduce:
* Open a folder with many files and a few subfolders; show files as List mode,
and order files by name. Folders will be at the top. Make sure there are enough
files so that a scroll bar will show up and the amount of scrolling is
considerable.
* scroll down until you can see the last file in the list. Now the first
subfolder is way up out of the window.
* Select the last file at the bottom and drag it up in order to drop it into
one of the subfolders
=> when you reach the top of the window with the cursor (dragging the
file), the window will start scrolling up, so you will eventually be
able to drop the file into the subfolder, but
EXPECTED: if the amount of scrolling you need to do is huge (e.g. there are a
lot of files), there SHOULD be a way to speed it up at will. An option would be
to have scroll speed increase in proportion to how much you move the cursor
upwards out from the top of the window. Or it may speed up just when you are
moving the mouse and the cursor is outside the window.
Also, scrolling by means of the mouse wheel SHOULD be enabled (which would be
already a partial fix, since wheel scrolling is typically much faster)
OBSERVED: the speed of scrolling is constant, slow, and there's nothing you can
do to speed it up. (this speed is ok when you need to scroll just a little bit,
so it's NOT just a matter of increasing it).
And mouse wheel scrolling is disabled while you're dragging the file. (I know,
this is pretty common: most program won't let you scroll while you're dragging
somoething, but in most cases there's no good reason not to allow it, so it's a
common but wrong behavior)
