I second that. This behaviour drives me crazy... you have no idea what will appear under your mouse cursor as you scroll a window, so there is simply no reason why a widget which appears under the mouse pointer during a scroll should "steal" the scrolling action and suddenly start changing values. Most simply, the scroll wheel should only scroll the window/frame directly under the cursor, if there is a scroll bar. (Think of a text box in firefox--you can scroll both the textbox and the firefox window.) More complex behaviour, if one really wanted the scroll wheel to work on pull-down menus without having to click on them, might look like this: no widget which falls under the mouse pointer steals the scrolling action; however, if the mouse has moved since the last scroll action and the pointer has landed on a widget (suggesting the user's focus has changed to the widget), the widget might steal the scroll. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/scroll-wheel-mouse-configuration-tf2973407.html#a9140659 Sent from the Gnome - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ gnome-list mailing list gnome-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-list
