Konqueror / KHTML: horicontal scrolling not possible with touchpad
Last modified: 2005-12-22 22:16:32 UTC
I have a laptop with synaptics touchpad. Using the touchpad, I can scroll vertically and horicontally in many applications. xev recognices the scrolling as mouse buttons 4, 5, 6 and 7. Unfortunaly, horicontal scrolling with the touchpad doesn't work in Konqueror and KMail's message area - so it seems to be a KHTML problem. When trying to scroll horicontally, KHTML scrolls vertically instead. To reproduce: - open any website in Konqueror - reduce window width until a horicontal scrollbar appears - try to scroll horicontally using the touchpad (the mouse pointer must _not_ be over the scrollbar!)
Lubos is _the_ expert when it comes to khtml scrolling

totally strange, because KHTML doesn't do anything different with wheel events.
even more strange because KHTML was the very first application that supported horizontal wheel scrolling.
argh.. caused by a suse patch.
This bug still exists in 10.0 final :-( BTW: I could also reproduce the funny behaviour described in #104599 - it always appears in the first Konqueror window you open directly after login. (It won't happen in later opened Konqueror / KHTML windows.)
Apparently already fixed by Dirk.
I just installed KDE 3.5 from supplementary - it finally works :-) BTW: Correct bug status would be "VERIFIED FIXED"
