Description Chris Wales 2021-05-24 07:49:32 UTC

When a plasmoid has a scrollbar, and you have more than one virtual desktop scrolling the mousewheel over the plasmoid results in the virtual desktop being changed rather than the plasmoid being scrolled.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Add a plasmoid to the desktop that has more information than is visible (e.g. the Bluetooth plasmoid - size to ensure it cannot display all data in it).
2. Position the mouse over the plasmoid and scroll the wheel down

OBSERVED RESULT
The virtual desktop changes, as though the mouse had been placed over the desktop background itself rather than the plasmoid.

EXPECTED RESULT
The plasmoid should scroll down/up to show its content.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

does it always change or only when the scrollbar reached the bottom?

Always - it's as if the scrollbar/plasmoid aren't there.

Scrolling over desktop widgets no longer changes the virtual desktop, since now you have to hold meta+alt to do that.
