What I mean that currently after I've scrolled down and my mouse is at the bottom of the screen while cursor stays at center, so I cannot access the lower half of screen without having to lift mouse. Normally (at least for me) the mouse position on the mousepad is directly correlated with the cursor position on screen - if mouse is at upper left corner, cursor is at upper left corner. If mouse is at lower right corner, cursor is at lower right corner. Any operation when mouse is moved while cursor is immobile (or moving at different speed) breaks this correlation and to restore it you must lift the mouse and reposition it (or you will run out of space on desk sooner or later). Allowing mouse cursor to move (not swallowing movement events) while scrolling would keep this correlation between cursor position on screen and mouse location on mousepad. Of course this correlation detoriates with time (nothing is perfect), and you will stil have to lift and reposition mouse time from time. But not after every few scrolls (or each scroll when scrolling larger files).</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
