Hi! Currently a slider reacts on mouse wheel when the pointer is in it's area. With horizontal sliders, wheeling up (away from you) results in the handle moving to the left! This feels backwards, not only to me personaly. Given this, the same action, wheeling up results in value increase on vertical sliders, but value decrease on horizontal sliders. Same gesture, but opposite effect. And the mapping for vertical sliders is obviously corect, just like everybody would expect it to be. Now QT and, as I have been told, Windows implement the same behaviour. I asume the behaviour was thought out for scrollbars and transfered to sliders. With scrollbars scrolling lets say a table, the vertical scrollbar has top = start, bottom = end. Horizontal scrollbar left = start, right = end. Wheeling up on vertical sliders means scrolling toward the vertical start. Wheeling up on the horizontal slider should therefor mean scrolling to the horizontal start -> scrolling left. But sliders are not tied to a scrollable area, just some value. The same gesture should show the same result, that means wheeling up should increase the value in both cases. Another way to look at it: Given the highest value is on the top of vertical sliders and on the right of horizontal ones, horizontal sliders can be thought of being rotated 90 degress clockwise. Same rotation should be applied to the wheel-direction mapping. So I would like to ask for the horizontal slider mouse wheel mapping to be changed to up-> right, down->left. --- Thorsten Wilms _______________________________________________ gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
