It's not consistent, but so far I've rarely seen clicks in the open area
of the scroll bar behave like PgUp/PgDn (which is what I'd like). Thunar
and Okular (KDE app), I believe, page normally.... probably LibreOffice
as well (although that's an almost independent widget set).
For example, in xfce4-terminal, if I'm on the command line (i.e., at the
bottom of the scroll buffer) and I click in the scroll bar space between
the thumb and up arrow, it doesn't move up one page - It jumps to the
top of the scroll buffer. If I click in the space between slider and
down arrow it jumps to the bottom (many, many "pages"). Same behavior in
Gnome Commander and xfconf editor.
Gnome Terminal and Mousepad jump directly to the clicked location
(proportionally), not all the way, but not a page up/down either.
My point is that I'd like to make it as consistent as possible, if
possible. I realize that given Gnome, QT, KDE, Xt, Fox, Motif, SWT/Java,
etc., etc. (all those widget toolkits), there will be variability. And I
can't reliably tell which apps are built on which platforms... some, but
not all. But even if I could "consistify" :-) things just for Gnome/Xfce
apps it would be a huge improvement. For example, why do xfce4-terminal,
Mousepad and Thunar have different behaviors in that regard?
Then again, this is definitely fine-tuning of a great DE, so I'm not
complaining.
Thanks.
