Description Adam Porter 2013-03-19 11:50:54 UTC

When I use the mouse wheel on the tray icon, each click of the wheel adjusts the master volume by 15%.  This is way too much.  It's currently at 35%, and one click of the wheel takes it to 50%.  I only need to raise it by about 5%.  To do this I have to open the mixer and then adjust the volume.

I may be mistaken, but I think prior to 4.10, the wheel only adjusted it by 5-7%.  I'm guessing something changed and now KMix is "respecting" the "number of lines per wheel click" setting, which is set to 3 lines per click.  But that doesn't make sense for adjusting volume, so KMix should just have a setting for how many percent to adjust it on each click of the wheel.

Reproducible: Always

I looked at bug 315920.  It's not the same bug.  This bug is only about how the *tray icon* responds to the *mouse wheel.*

I can confirm this bug. I think it has to do with the systray being rewritten to QML, so the events are now handled slightly differently. Might also have something to do with "scroll N lines" setting, that is 3 by default, so if 1 wheel scroll is/was 5%, the 15% is the result of applying correct settings in the new QML systray. But this is untested and just my hypothesis...

Martin Klapetek: You're totally right.
I hacked kmix and turned out tripple trayWheelEvent().
Amarok suffered by same issue. (I hope noone will create also one bugreport)
DBus-call Scroll() cause only one event (and proper volume-control).

Bug 317976 have exacly same nature.

So, this is not bug in kmix.

I agree this is not a bug in kmix at all. This is probably just a duplicate [or maybe the source of the two is the same] of bug 316546 . 

As I said there, I done some debug on the source code. For a single wheel movement  KStatusNotifierItem [the new system tray icon handler using dbus and not X11] get 3 events and not only 1. I hacked the kmix code a bit and I can confirm that a single even have a change in volume equal to 5% [the correct default]. But since it get called 3 times the change is 15%.

Amarok uses KStatusNotifierItem too and suffers from the same problem.

I've written a very simple Qt program using QSystemTrayIcon [which still uses X11 code to handle events] and it works as expected.

bug #313579 is the one
