You can scroll that list using your keyboard @turt2live

turt2live commented 2 years ago

but not with the mouse, so feature request: horizontal scrolling with the scrollwheel, like OG breadcrumbs 😇

That scrolling pattern is abysmal for trackpad users

See https://github.com/matrix-org/element-web-rageshakes/issues?q=is%3Aissue+horizontal+scroll+is%3Aclosed

Worse yet, it can be confused by browsers as the back/forward intent causing you to lose progress in the app.

I think that's because the implementation is awful rather than the pattern.
