Bug 122859 – [GTK] No hover-horizontal scrolling available

• Component: WebKitGTK
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Bastian]

I am unable to perform horizontal scrolling by hovering over the horizontal scrollbar and scroll the scrolling wheel on my mouse at the same time. I am using Ephiphany 3.10.0

This behavior is, however, available in every other gtk based application I know of and use, though. For example Evince, Documents, Libreoffice applications, gedit, inkscape and gimp. I propose it is added to webkitgtk too.

Is this specific to GTK+? does it work in mac or EFL?

It works for non-primary scrollbars, like scrollbars in a text area.

I think the issue is with the main scrollbar, i.e. the scrollbar of the web view embedded inside Epiphany.

It looks right, though I wonder how much regression potential this has for other ports.

Er, forgot to ask about a layout test for this? Probably I should have withheld my r+ pending a test; I'm sure you can write one with your new mock animator.

In all other ports adjustedEvent == event

I'll try to find the time, we don't need the scroll animator tests for this, we can just hover the scrollbar, send wheel event, and check how the view scrolled.
