Description chimak111 2018-12-26 12:02:11 UTC 
SUMMARY

Single clicking in scrollbar jumps to position, not a page up or down.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Discover > Applications
2. Click in the scrollbar area above or below the scrollbar "thumb".
3. 

OBSERVED RESULT
Content scrolls to the position of the click rather than just one page up or down.

EXPECTED RESULT
Other applications such as KWrite and Kate (both with show mini-map unticked),
Dolphin, and Featherpad scroll a page up or down depending on where the single click was made.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE neon 5.14
KDE Plasma Version: 5.14.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.53.0
Qt Version: 5.11.2

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This action reminds me more of gtk3 applications for which the fix to return to "legacy" scrolling, if one wants it, is to edit one's "~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini" to include "gtk-primary-button-warps-slider=0".

A related, but not identical, bug filed for Plasma 5.10.5 is https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=384889.

The scrollview comes from Kirigami; moving there.

Kirigami should respect QStyle::SH_ScrollBar_LeftClickAbsolutePosition so that it can change appropriately once we have a user-facing method of changing this in System Settings.

Comment 3 Marco Martin 2019-02-11 09:33:24 UTC 
it's a QtQuickControls style issue, nothing to do with kirigami
Comment 4 Marco Martin 2019-02-11 14:20:16 UTC 
and i guess also the "scroll here/scroll up etc" popup should be shown on right click

Pushed by mart into branch 'master'.

clicking on empty areas behaves like pgup/pgdown

clicking with middle mouse button positions absolutely

both behaviors are the same as qwidget scrollbars

Thanks for the fix! Will this also automatically fix Bug 384889?

Also, can't we respect the style hint though? If we ever implement Bug 379498 and allow people to change the behavior of clicking in the scrollbar trough, then this behavior will be wrong again for people who change it via the UI.
