Scrolling Problem
Lately, I am unable to scroll through an ebook unless I keep scrolling. This might have happened because of an update. But, I updated to the most recent release 4.20 and that did not fix the issue. I even thought that it was my mouse. So, I replaced it with a better one and that did not fix the problem. I am currently using Logitech M510 on Windows 10. Please help it's very annoying to have to scroll 3 times on the wheel to go only 1 page. I have resorted to using my keyboard to get to another page.
Thank you for any help you can provide. |

So like before when we could simply scroll using the mouse, that function is not available? Now we have to click the margins on either side to go forward a page and backward a page?

I have experienced the same problem after updating to 4.20.
But I think the problem is already solved for the next release, according to this bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/calibre/+bug/1886231 P. S.: I've tested it running from source, but it didn't work. But, IIRC, the Viewer is built on the fly in that case, so it might not work 100% as expected. |

I'm getting the same issue now. I usually infrequently update so I couldn't tell you what my old version was, but it now takes 3 'ticks' of mouse-wheel scrolling to advance one page.

It always worked fine, but now, to solve a problem for touchpads*, it broke things for, at least, some mouses (mine included). I'm not here criticizing. I know Kovid tried to solve the problem for those using touchpads, but it seems that the solution brought a problem for others that were just fine. *A fix was made to solve the problem of touchpads passing many pages for the slightest movement. |

Uhmm
I date before Mice were commonly used with PC's (the original IBM PC. Floppies only) so I know there are alternate ways of navigating (although I am running into a few app that you MUST use a mouse or other pointing device, because TAB, and arrows just move that pesky focus or pointer FWIW I remember Wordstar (~4.x) making fun of Word slowing folk down by having them use a mouse. they even included a timed 'typing test' using both ways |

Oh yes, they type in data and must use the mouse to click OK when a simpl 'enter' will do the job because the OK has those tiny lines around it (box), that makes it the default action.

Since apparently wheel mice behave wildly differently and there is no reliable way of guessing what a given mouse will produce, I suppose the only fix is to add an option to control this behavior, for wheels that generate pixel scrolls.

Wonderful idea.
Thank you very much, Kovid. And I hope you are recovering as provided. Last edited by jbacelar; 07-19-2020 at 03:24 AM. |
