Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 141476

(Firefox :: Shell Integration, defect)

Description

[Mark Drago]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050513 Fedora/1.0.4-1.3.1 Firefox/1.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050513 Fedora/1.0.4-1.3.1 Firefox/1.0.4

Holding down the control key and scrolling the mouse wheel scrolls in the
opposite direction than the Gnome HIG suggests.  The relevant section of the
Gnome HIG v2.0 reads as follows:

Ctrl-scrollwheel-up should zoom into the window or control under the mouse
pointer, and Ctrl-scrollwheel-down should zoom out. Zooming in this way should
not move keyboard focus to the window or control being zoomed.

A link to the relevant page in the gnome hig is here:
http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/2.0/input.html#input-mouse

The bug in gnome bugzilla that led to this bug being filed can be found here:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=309236

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Hold control and scroll the mouse wheel over firefox
2. Hold control and scroll the mouse wheel over a gnome program (evince, eog, etc.)
3. Notice the difference

Probably a dupe of bug 262715 or bug 141476 however given the hig data leaving
open for someone to reconsider.

The scroll direction will be changed in bug 141476 for all platforms.
