SUMMARY
It would be a good thing to add an option to active or not scroll with mouse wheel when cursor is on virtual desktop pager as in task manager, it is quite annoying to unwanted scroll of virtual desktops
Comment 1 TraceyC 2024-11-13 19:15:16 UTC
I can see how this would be useful and seems fairly straightforward to add
Comment 2 Gábor Katona 2025-03-02 15:00:29 UTC
Are there plans to resolve this? Also affects activity changer.

I would like to add my voice in support of this request. It is very easy to accidentally trigger "scrolling" within the pager that results in a rapid desktop switching, a rather disconcerting and annoying experience. In my case this typically happens when I have a browser window maximized, and scroll through a web page using the mouse wheel. If mouse cursor accidentally drifts to the bottom of the screen and hits the pager area while I am still moving the mouse wheel, multiple desktops suddenly start flashing on the screen in rapid succession, creating an impression as if the system went berserk. This happens frequently during normal desktop use. It would be nice to have a checkbox that would cause pager to ignore mouse wheel events.
