Description romeoK 2018-05-10 10:13:07 UTC

Changing the volume with the scrollwheel of the mouse does not work when pointer is inside the media window. 

You can make the scrollwheel only work like doing so:

Go into fullscreen mode. The top menu is hidden. Now hover the mouse into the top menu and then very carefully hover back into the media window, but dont let the top menu dissapear. Now hover up again into the top menu, and voila, the scrollwheel works perfectly (as long as you don't leave the boundaries of the top menu)

Would be nice if the scrollwheel works everywhere inside the application.

Please note, that when timeshift is active, the scrollwheel is used to jump forward/backward in the stream. This should be disabled, or it might conflict with the volume change.

Timeshift behavior was fixed on those commits:

I was not able to reproduce the behaviour you're describing above, but the new code should probably have fixed any misbehaviours.

You should notice that the mouse wheel is context sensitive: it only change volume if inside the streaming window. If you place it on the top of a slide bar, it should be changing it; if you place inside the lateral menu, it will scroll the items there.

Could you please check with the upstream code if the reported issue was gone?
