Description azrdev 2016-10-31 18:30:47 UTC
When doing click-and-drag scrolling in okular, the mouse pointer wraps around upon reaching the top or bottom screen edges. This would also be useful for the left and right edges, i.e. horizontal scrolling.

Expected behaviour:
- open a file in okular, zoom in until the viewport is (much) smaller than the document
- in "navigation mode", left-click anywhere on the page, keeping the mouse button down
- drag the mouse: the visible part of the document scrolls accordingly
- drag the mouse to/over a screen edge: it reappears at the opposite edge, you continue scrolling

This is not just relevant for horizontal scrolling mode, but also for landscape documents in Overview mode with the current limit of 8 facing pages. Horizontal scrolling is difficult with most mouse wheels, so horizontal drag wraparound makes not less sense than the existing vertical wraparound.

Nice!

David, do you think this might be worth cherry-picking into stable too, or is it too risky or dependent on master-only code?
Comment 6 David Hurka 2021-04-13 11:26:35 UTC
It depends on 67325270e “Fix viewport jumps when drag-scrolling beyond screen edges” which introduces CursorWrapHelper and is only on master. So I think it’s too risky.
