Description Jeremy Volkman 2005-03-15 21:01:22 UTC
Version:           3.4.0 (using KDE 3.4.0, compiled sources)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.4.3-20050110 (Gentoo Linux 3.4.3.20050110, ssp-3.4.3.20050110-0, pie-8.7.7)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.11-gentoo-r3

Steps to recreate:

1. Browse to a webpage that overflows past the bottom of the screen (i.e., requires scrolling).

2. Initiate the "auto-scroll" mode by clicking the center mouse button (Note: this bug does not exist with the shift+arrow mode).

3. Move the mouse cursor below the initiation point to start scrolling down.

4. Move the mousewheel either up or down.

Results:
The page will start scrolling up instead of down.  The page will start scrolling down again as soon as the mouse is moved (as long as the cursor is under the initiation point).

Some additional findings:

When scrolling UP (in auto-scroll), moving the mousewheel won't reverse the scroll direction, however it will increase the scroll speed.  The scroll speed will be properly set as soon as the mouse is moved again.

Where did you set mousewheel to autoscroll? It does "paste selection" or "back in history" here.
Comment 3 Jeremy Volkman 2006-09-01 22:27:39 UTC
This is a pretty old report. :)

Under Konqueror's settings -> Web Behavior, uncheck the "Middle click
opens URL in selection" option, and then the middle click initiates
autoscroll. (using Konqueror 3.5.2)

Ah, neat. I can't reproduce the behaviour you describe on KDE 3.5 though - in autoscroll mode, the mouse wheel just "jumps" the page up or down as appropriate, and then the page carries on scrolling as it was before. Have you tested with 3.5?
Comment 5 Jeremy Volkman 2006-09-02 14:02:52 UTC
I experience the same behaviour in KDE 3.5.4.  Note that to reproduce
this, you cannot move the mouse cursor after moving the mouse wheel.
Comment 6 Philip Rodrigues 2006-09-03 21:56:37 UTC
Now I *can* reproduce it. Odd.
Comment 7 Henrik Pauli 2007-01-08 06:56:18 UTC
For me, mouse wheel in autoscroll mode jumps to the top of the page, pretty much.  No matter where the wheel is turned.
Comment 8 Antoine Frenoy 2007-11-09 16:23:10 UTC
This bug had disapeared for me in KDE 3.5.7, and it reapeared in KDE 3.5.8. Very annoying.
Comment 9 FiNeX 2008-05-05 11:09:31 UTC
Confirmed on 3.5.9.
It works right on 4.1 (trunk r802881).

Should we set this bug as "LATER" ?
