Smooth scrolling with touchpad is implemented in Dolphin 19 so this can probably be closed. Is there a way to get it to work under Debian10? And is there a way to configure the sensitivity of the scrolling? Can you define what "smooth scrolling" means to you? People uses this term to mean a lot of different things so I want to make sure we're talking about the same thing.

When scrolling it does not smoothly scroll down but makes "jumps". I have tested it with a touchpad with v19 and it smooth scrolling was enabled there - so I guess it's only an issue of outdated KDE Debian: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/584892/what-would-be-needed-by-debian-to-ship-newer-versions-of-the-kde-desktop-environ/584903 I'll close this issue, if nobody else does it before me, soon. I think it might be useful for others looking for the same feature in e.g. Debian10 and I was hoping somebody would confirm that it has been fixed in v19 (maybe I'll test further and reopen the issue if it also appears on >v19). When using a touchpad, what you're calling "smooth scrolling" is generally called "pixel scrolling" or "pixel-by-pixel scrolling". I assume you're using a touchpad? If so, then yes, Dolphin has pixel scrolling for touchpads, and if it's not working for you (it works for me), then I would take it up with the Debian packagers. :) Dear Bug Submitter, This bug has been in NEEDSINFO status with no change for at least 15 days.

Okay so I tested it again with KDE neon 5.20: Smooth scrolling works with the laptop's touchpad, but not with a bluetooth remote keyboard. Is this a problem of the bluetooth remote keyboard (hard-/firmware), Linux/GNU/Debian software or KDE software? No idea to be honest. Does your bluetooth keyboard have a built-in touchpad or something? (In reply to Nate Graham from comment #9) > Does your bluetooth keyboard have a built-in touchpad or something? Yes, sorry I didn't make that clearer. The scrolling isn't smooth when scrolling via the bluetooth keyboard touchpad but it's smooth when scrolling the usual way. Not sure if that's an issue of the keyboard, Debian software or KDE software (probably not a Dolphin issue but of bluetooth-related software in that case). How's the scrolling in Firebox or Chromium or a GTK app like Gedit? Good question. Should have tested that right away. Scrolling in Firefox is smooth (unlike Dolphin). Scrolling in Gedit is not smooth. Scrolling in Leafpad is not smooth. I had a feeling. Firefox uses a totally custom implementation which apparently handles this. I would file a bug against libinput: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libinput/libinput/-/issues/ |
