Description Rick Chern 2004-07-10 00:03:40 UTC
Version:           0.98-devel (using KDE KDE 3.2.1)
Installed from:    RedHat RPMs
Compiler:          gcc (GCC) 3.3.2 20031022  
OS:                Linux

Using Shift+Wheel for X axis zoom is a bit weird because Shift is also used for Y mouse zoom mode.  
Ctrl+Wheel for X axis zoom, Shift+Wheel for Y axis zoom seems more consistent, keeping Alt+Wheel for Y axis scroll.

There is another problem with the new wheel handling. 

PROBLEM:
Plot does not update as expected.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
Load some data file into Kst and generate one or more plots in the same 
window, displaying some fraction of the data.

Advance 1 Screen in the plots and notice that the data moves to the next 
screen and is plotted correctly. In one of plots use the mouse wheel to 
scroll in the x-direction through the data (I'm not sure if its a feature or 
bug that the data doesn't actually update). Return to the same position as 
when you started moving the wheel. Hit the Advance 1 Screen button again.
Notice that the plot that you wheeled in does not advance 1 screen (although 
the data is correctly plotted for 1 screen ahead), and you left looking at a 
blank plot.

Using the scroll wheel takes you out of auto-zoom mode and puts you into fixed zoom mode, since that is what you asked for... Same as arrow or mouse zooming or scrolling.  I'm not sure we want to fix the behavior.  Perhaps we need a visual cue as to what zoom mode we are in.

Modified kst2dplot.cpp

What did you do?  What is the change? I thought we we were going to discuss a 
solution before we did anything.

This addresses the original problem submitted by Rick. My additional problem 
should be the subject of another bug report.

Comment 6 George Staikos 2004-08-11 23:16:09 UTC
The problem Rick reported is the one that we asked for discussion about on the list today.
