Description Ed Swierk 2001-05-11 17:17:11 UTC
(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***)

Package:           konqueror
Version:           unknown (using KDE 2.1.2 )
Severity:          wishlist
Installed from:    Red Hat Linux 7.1
Compiler:          gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.1 2.96-81)
OS:                Linux 2.2.17-8smp i686
OS/Compiler notes: 

clicking the "page up" or "page down" part of the scrollbar should mimic the existing behavior of the PgUp/PgDn keys.

Using the PgUp/PgDn keys makes the Konqueror window scroll by an amount slightly less than the visible height of the content.  This makes reading a long page of text easier because the last few lines of the previously visible portion become the first few lines of the newly visible portion.

For example if the page has 1000 lines but only 5 are visible:

      1
      2
      3
      4
      5

After hitting PgDn the window shows:

      4
      5
      6
      7
      8

The problem is that clicking the "page down" portion of the scrollbar does not yield the same behavior.  Instead it scrolls the window by exactly the height of the visible portion.  Thus the window would show:

      6
      7
      8
      9
     10

This causes disruption if the user is trying to read a long document.

This is especially problematic if only the top portion of a line of text is displayed at the bottom of the window: after scrolling only the bottom portion of the line will be visible at the top of the window.

Comment 1 Ed Swierk 2004-05-12 02:21:31 UTC
This is still an issue with KDE/Konqueror 3.1.4 (Fedora Core 1 RPMs).
Comment 2 Michael Jahn 2004-07-09 21:53:38 UTC
Still valid with 3.3 beta 1.
Comment 3 lexual 2006-03-27 13:16:25 UTC
confirming for 3.5.1
I can't see any good reason why the 2 behaviours should be different.
Comment 4 Zac Slade 2007-01-07 15:48:09 UTC
confirming that this is still the behavior in 3.5.5
Comment 5 lexual 2007-12-13 02:08:29 UTC
Bug still there with kde4.
Comment 6 Graeme Hewson 2013-01-30 09:00:46 UTC
Problem occurs with KHTML, not with WebKit (KDE 4.9.5).
