Version: (using KDE 4.2.1) OS: Linux Installed from: Fedora RPMs When using a laptop with it's trackpad, it's fairly easy to do an unwanted scroll. I don't know if I'm making any sense. What I mean is that when I click on a application to focus on it and I try to move the mouse, I often make several other applications to focus/unfocus when I'm on the edge of my trackpad (happens roughly 70% of the time). It's quite irritating, and I have to resolve using the alt+tab key short cut to work around it. It'd be ideal to offer an option to disable this behaviour. When using a normal mouse I'm aware that this could be a good idea to have this feature around, but with a laptop it renders the task manager quite unusable. Thanks for all of your work
This would be really great to have... I often hit the edgescroll accidentally, and even more often I hit it on purpose but forget about the position of the mouse cursor (which for some reason barely ever happens with a mouse). Would love to be able to disable this.
Thanks I was feeling lonely, here. I completely removed the task manager from my desktop now, I couldn't stand it anyway. There is still the issue when scrolling with the mouse hover over the desktop now. I wonder why that doesn't attract more attention.
"There is still the issue when scrolling with the mouse hover over the desktop now." that's addressed in 4.4 with the mouse actions; this has become a plugin that can be associated with scroll wheeling. you can change that association in the configuration for the given Activity to pretty much anything you want.
Ho thanks for the tip, I never noticed. And thanks for your work, I'll help as much as I can by tracking bugs
Ahoy there. I believe this bug is a duplicate of Bug 198661 , which has a bit more data and commentary. Would the Powers That Be like to close this report as such?
