Description FabiB 2016-01-06 13:00:13 UTC
shen you're using xf86-input-libinput instead of other input systems for X11, scrolling in dolphin is that slow that you dont wanna use it anymore. for now it seems to be the only app that is effected.
other framework5 things like gwenview, kmail, as well as Qt5 apps like tomahawk-qt and even other toolkit things like inkscape, gimp, chrome/ium firefox scroll in the same way as always

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install xf86-input-libinput (and activate, if not by default)
2. restart PC
3. open dolphin and scroll

Actual Results:  
it is now slow ....

Expected Results:  
should be the same as in all other apps

Can you check if the commit from https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/126718/ fixes the issue?

No I doesn't fix the issue, only changed the non-pixelDelta case.

Looks like the bug is somewhere deeper.

I am affected by it as well here on Mageia x86-64 v6.

Does Fedora 23 use the xf86-input-libinput driver?  If not, Bug 358080 isn't a duplicate of this though they may be related.  I see the same symptom when using the mousewheel in the widgets list which may be another difference.

Possibly related to Bug 358765
Comment 8 John Choate 2016-05-18 20:14:35 UTC
Has a solution to this been found?? I'm still seeing this in Dolphin 16.04.1, KDE Frameworks 5.22.0, and QT 5.6.0 (built against 5.6.0), Mageia 6 (Cauldron).
Comment 9 Łukasz Żarnowiecki 2016-05-18 20:52:16 UTC
Use xf86-input-evdev until fixed.
Comment 10 H.H. 2016-06-09 09:49:01 UTC
@Lukasz: how do I use "xf86-input-evdev" instead of libinput? both are installed.
Comment 11 FabiB 2016-06-09 11:15:34 UTC

uninstall xf86-input-libinput
Comment 12 H.H. 2016-06-20 09:57:33 UTC
> uninstall xf86-input-libinput

thanks, that workaround works.
Comment 13 H.H. 2016-07-09 08:07:28 UTC
Also the mouse-speed setting is ignored (pointer acceleration)

Fix scrolling on hidpi screens

Scrolling with libinput was unbearably slow.

QScrollBar is much better at scrolling than us, so let it handle it.

Thanks for the fix, Martin [and all]!
Comment 18 FabiB 2016-07-17 11:29:07 UTC
Seems to be not completeley fixed. the sidebars "places" and "folders" are still slow while scrolling for me, with latest git.

Finally removed xorg-x11-drv-libinput (dnf remove xorg-x11-drv-libinput) and all mouse-wheel scrolling issues are resolved.

For me as well. I have not installed xf86-input-libinput
Version 16.08.1
Comment 21 Martin Schnitkemper 2016-09-24 09:17:36 UTC
It's not solved for me.  I have also not installed xf86-input-libinput on my desktop system but scrolling in the left folder- or places panel in dolphin is still unusable slow, in the main windows its OK.  It seems new to me after upgrading to 16.08.  Distribution is Arch Linux.

please see this Mageia bug - https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19362 - scrolling is low in dolphin on non-Plasma5-desktops without libinput installed.

I have the same problem as Martin. I'm also using arch distro as well. libinput is installed (it is a qt5-base dependency). But I have not installed xf86-input-libinput.
I'm using dolphin inside plasma-5 desktop, kde applications and kde frameworks (KDE is default at my system).

Comment 25 Martin Schnitkemper 2016-12-30 12:34:51 UTC
After latest system update it works for me again, I can scroll in both panels with normal speed.  

I don't know which of the components exactly solved the problem since I got a whole bunch of updates of KDE Plasma 5.8.5 and the KDE Applications 16.12.
