Scroll (in)sensitivity #28

Open inakil opened 1 year ago

inakil commented 1 year ago

Hi, I've notice (maybe after updating to Fedora 37/GNOME43? not sure the exact moment) that the mouse wheel scroll needed to trigger a panel/window scroll has to be more "intense" than in previous versions. That is, I need to spin the wheel faster and longer to trigger a scroll. In previous versions, at the slight turn of the wheel a transition would occur. This new behavior isn't very practical as this long/fast spinning is slower and harder to produce, and gives less control (some times it will swap two or more panels)

I'm using a logitech Master MX mouse (version 2, I think). This increase in "intensity" needed to trigger a panel/window scroll only happens with the middle/vertical wheel. With the Master MX horizontal wheel the sensitivity is ok: a minimum wheel scroll triggers the transition.

Hello and sorry for my late response.

  1. Which windowing system do you use, is it Wayland or X11? You can verify this in the "About" section of the Gnome Control Center. It would be great if you can switch to another windowing system and test it with same mouse device.

  2. You may try to workaround the problem with setting /io/github/mreditor/gnome-shell-extensions/scroll-panel/windows-switcher-vertical-multiplier, e.g.

    dconf write /io/github/mreditor/gnome-shell-extensions/scroll-panel/windows-switcher-vertical-multiplier 2

Hi, thanks for your support.

  1. X11.
  2. I tried your suggestion but I didn't notice any difference. I tried with different values (2,4,8,16,32). I tried by modifying the value and immediately trying to scroll on the bar (I mean, I wasn't restarting GNOME or anything like that).

Oh, my bad. Try lesser value instead, 0.5, 0.1 and so on. Restart is not needed.

Since you are using X11, you are probably experiencing problem described in #19, you may try patched version from workaround#19 branch (see README for installation instructions)
