I think the UX is *tolerable* when using a mouse without a scroll wheel where you can pick up the mouse and put it back down again as needed without removing your finger from the left button. The UX is totally un-ergonomic with a touchpad and makes no sense there. And if your mouse has a scroll wheel, that's a much better UX as well. I vote to remove the feature. And yes, I know that once we do, we'll find the 3 people in the world who use it and love it and curse our names and vow to hunt us down in the middle of the night and kidnap our children and set fire to our houses over it. https://invent.kde.org/graphics/okular/-/merge_requests/637 has been merged, giving an option to disable this feature. We discussed it inside MR and we decided that adding an option to disable it was the way to go, so I'm closing this bug report too. |
