Details

i filed this against galeon, they blamed it on mozilla, i came here and searched on a few terms, came up with nothing and so i repeat my efforts here... (I wish bugzilla had a better peering arrangement) ---------------- Product - Version Component Status Short Summary galeon - 1.2.5 User interface RESOLVED mouse wheel ignored by new windows (focus) Opened by stig-gnome@hackvan.com (stig hackvan) on 2002-07-21 13:54 Long Description scenario: 1. <<make sure shift-mouse-wheel changes font size>> 2. button2: follow link in new window 3. focus new window <<i use sloppy focus w/ autoraise>> 4. shift-mouse-wheel to enlarge font ^^^^^^ doesn't work until the text pane has been clicked 5. type PageUp(Prior) or PageDown(Next) ^^^^^^ doesn't work until the text pane has been clicked it seems that mouse wheel events get dropped until internal focus has been sent to the text pane. I think that's where it should be from the start... ------- Additional Comments From Yanko Kaneti 2002-07-21 14:04 ------- This is a mozilla focus bug which wont be fixed for this branch
WFM 2002072008/win98se What focus bug?.. *shrug*
okay, so it's an X11 / Linux focus problem
Seems dupe of or related to the Bug 158001, "Ctrl+Mouse Wheel events go to wrong window". (However, I cannot reproduce it useing steps descibed here.)
... well, that's why i reported it against galeon first (linux gnome browser which uses mozilla internally) ...that's where i encountered the bug...grrrr... well, i had enough public spirit to do the mouse and keyboard work of moving data from the galeon bug system to this one upon being informed that "it's a mozilla bug"... but, uhm, wouldn't it be more appropriate if the gnome bugzill could "BLAME" http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=88736 on this bug? I don't know if anyone working on galeon has filed what they consider to be the mozilla bug or not, and so probably it was overzealous of me to file a bug against galeon and, upon rebuff, re-file it here based upon what amounts to heresay and not direct experience... here's some direct experience: http://www.wikipedia.com/wiki/Schizophrenia does not print properly... but that may be in either galeon-1.2.5-2.ximian.2 or mozilla-1.0.0-5.ximian.1 but i'm not sure which one... and i've been thinking lately that -- to the degree that my "self" is the programmatic aspect of "me, my self, and I" ... and to the extent that I (the Observer/Ideator/Creator) consider my computer(s) to be extensions of my "self" -- ... I've been thinking that unreliable software, for someone who depends upon software, can effect a sort of cybernetically induced schizophrenia...just try getting hacked...it is highly traumatic...but this effect can be seen in lesser form with forked work and fragmentary backups and restores... part of one's self is here and part of one's self is there and the buzz of existence makes one think "I have to kill a few selves before I go insane"...or maybe I already am... so, what is this? - a bug report turned half-screed? - the initial musings for a book entitled (alice & bob in wonderland) - or an ad-hoc harbinger of an upcoming "technocratic oath"? find out next week! same bat time, same bat channel! -- stig
stig: using imwheel?
