SUMMARY

the infinity scrolling with thumbnail has broken

It's like old bug, :
Bug 156593
Thumbnail sidepane in okular should allow continuous dragging across pages 

I had used this feature on Windows and that should be claimed as the most awesome feature in your website page.
I don't know if it is distro problem or what.

You mean the thing that you click+drag the mouse cursor to the bottom of the screen and it wraps to the top of the screen?

Are you using wayland?

Yes, the wrapping but of the mouse. Accurate! But it didn't require holding ctrl key, just click & holding on the thumbnail to drag view freely.
and Yes, wayland, is that the problem?

Never mind, it's just a minor bug. Dragging regular scroll bar is the same thing. I just thought it's a cool feature, like VSCode minimap, and wish to had it in newer version of Okular. Thank you for replying.

wayland as far as i know doesn't let apps control the cursor position so that can't work on wayland sadly
