Maybe not a bug but improper mouse wheel usuage
« on: February 11, 2019, 07:38:55 pm »
Open file within the qb64 GUI gives unexpected mouse wheel use.

Normal wheel use will scroll up or down the window column the mouse is hovering over.
As the open file GUI is setup.  The mouse only scrolls the clicked column side.
Not as expected.

Bug or feature ?  Your call.
Or is a feature until the bug is fixed ?

Been staring at this for at least 15 seconds and haven't the faintest clue... What's the "column side"? Can we get maybe a video of what's happening? A lot to ask, I know, sorry. That's the whiskey talking (tonight).

EDIT

Oooh yeah I see what he's saying. Ignore my drunken drivel.

You're not done when it works, you're done when it's right.

same functioning as Windows, scroll wheel will only scroll the files if your 'focused' on them or scroll the directory list if your focused on them. won't scroll otherwise. least not on any of my computers, so to me the QB64 IDE functions normally in that regard.
Granted after becoming radioactive I only have a half-life!

Feels like the proper behavior to me too. But hover to scroll can be added too.

Scroll over hover column is the norm in windows apps.  Firefox browser does it, so does my total commander.
I use it so much, it becomes natural.  With qb64 I have to touch the column I want to scroll before it happens.

With large single windows it's not a big problem.  When you have multiple columns of data like total commander
(etc...), review of data becomes easy if scrolling happens.

It's one of those windows type shortcuts not everyone knows about.  Once you use it, you won't stop.  I tend
to lay on the wheel heavy when scrolling, to the point I press it.  I had to disable the middle wheel click function
less I activate the middle wheel double-click function.  My default mouse function for that was not nice.  Always
gave me problems.

Auto-focus on hover position would be nice.  It would align with norm windows operations.
