Version: (using KDE 4.1.3) OS: Linux Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages In KDE3, clicking the middle mouse button on a point on the scrollbar would place the scroll handle under the mouse cursor. In KDE4.1.3, such an MMB click produces no action. I notice that an RMB click on the scrollbar produces a menu with a scroll here option. The KDE3 behavior was perfect. It was intuitive and was a big productivity enhancer. It enabled the user to easily jump many pages in either direction thus saving many left mouse button clicks. Please restore the KDE3 behavior for the MMB click on the scrollbar. Thanks, Pandu
this behavior is style dependent, supported by kstyle and works with oxygen which (widget) style (it's not kwin related at all, but i don't know which list to reassign to) do you use and is it shipped with KDE?
No news from the bug reporter, closing. Please reopen this bug report if you can post more information about the bug (What widget style are you using?). Thanks :)
The bug is present in the Phase and Windows styles. Using 4.3 RC2.
As for Phase it's probably up to David whether he wants this. The "windows" style is built into and part of Qt (i.e. you'd have to ask there) as Windows afaik doesn't show this behaviour it's probably not a bug but a correct UI clone... unless you consider windows to be a bug... ;-P
In both these styles, incidentally, you can middle-click on slider widgets and it works. So there is at least an inconsistency.
Maybe, but -in case- it's a Qt one (and a different bug and one that would immediately be marked upstream, so don't try - head over to Qt's bugtracker if you want this to change) and i don't know what windows does with MMBs that said, just wait - i'm pretty sure David will agree to change that, as there's hardly a good reason to do not (SH_ScrollBar_MiddleClickAbsolutePosition, btw. ;-) And the windows style has... "other problems" than it's slider behaviour (frankly: would you ever want to use it unless forced?!)
