Description Andreas Pietzowski 2007-06-08 15:05:44 UTC
Version:           0.12.5 (using KDE 3.5.7 "release 31.1" , openSUSE )
Compiler:          Target: i586-suse-linux
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.18.8-0.1-default

Hello,

since the last SuSE-update the feature with "use mouse navigation instead of scroll-bars" doesn't work anymore. the srcollbars are always visible and no scrolling with mouse movement is done.

Thanks for fixing because I liked that behavior ;-)
Andreas
Comment 1 Matt Rogers 2007-06-09 08:06:59 UTC
probably broken by the commits to make kopete behave better with regard to timers and waking up the system too often.
Comment 2 Bruno Virlet 2007-08-29 11:16:47 UTC
SVN commit 706035 by bvirlet:

Remove the option because this was removed by the commits against 
smooth scrolling and this is not standard behavior.

See previous comment.
Comment 4 Matt Blissett 2007-12-10 00:29:35 UTC
Is this gone for good?  If so, why?  It was really useful, I'm missing the feature already!
Comment 5 Will Stephenson 2007-12-12 14:06:56 UTC
It's gone for KDE 3 and I expect also for KDE 4.  I see no reason why Kopete needs an extra way to navigate when every other list view in kde gets by with keyboard, mouse wheel and scrollbars.
