SUMMARY Automatic category selection doesn't work properly when scrollin - it's slow and sometimes doesn't work on boundaries. This causes it to appear janky and slow when (and after) scrolling. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Hover over a category. 2. Scroll. OBSERVED RESULT Scrolling with the mouse stationary either causes automatic selection to take ≈1s, or not whatsoever. Both are depicted in the attached video. EXPECTED RESULT It shouldn't impact the speed of automatic selection whatsoever.

This is in fact intentional. People used to complain a lot when categories got switched immediately during scrolling. So we implemented the current thing which only switches a moment after scrolling completes.

(In reply to Nate Graham from comment #2) Sometimes it doesn't even apply at all, though. See the newly attached file.
I can reproduce that. It's probably caused by the idle cursor trigger in the triangle mouse filter not firing correctly. P.S. you don't have to set Flags for your bugs; they aren't used for anything.
(In reply to Nate Graham from comment #5) They're useful for me, since they let me retroactively inform anyone viewing whether those attributes apply. If this Bugzilla instance enabled issue editing, I'd just do that, but I make do with what I can otherwise. Is it problematic?
Not really, it's just extra potential email spam for people who get annoyed by that (I don't, but that's just me).
(In reply to Nate Graham from comment #7) Alright. They're certainly not worth that. I know this is off-topic, but is there an issue to remove them? If they're not being consistently applied, especially for the reason you mention, they seem more like a vestige (like the recently removed per-component votes) than a useful feature worth presenting to reporters.
Yeah, I can hide them. I'll see about that.
(In reply to Nate Graham from comment #9) Thanks. They seem to be gone.

Both are depicted in the attached video. If [`id=452636#c8`][1] is set as the default, that might at least mean that this is of less importance (although since the option to disable it remains, it remains a problem).
