VW7.9 How to increase scrolling speed of mouse wheel?

Administrator

For some reason, the scrolling speed of the mouse wheel is very slow in my VW. How can I change that?

Thanks,
Aik-Siong Koh

Re: VW7.9 How to increase scrolling speed of mouse wheel?

Is it just in VW?

Just in VW only. No problems with other programs.

Thanks,

Aik-Siong, thanks for asking about this, it's an annoyance for me as well.

You can see it in the VisualWorks Projects launcher: each click of the scroll wheel moves the list by one pixel, not one line. Increasing the number of lines per notch (Mouse control panel, Wheel tab) has no effect. This is under Windows 7.

See ScrollValueHolder>>initialize

IMHO, the value of 1@1 there is absurd. Setting it to 10@10 yields much better results.

Indeed, the scrolling wheel scrolls annoyingly slow. Thanks for bringing
this up. Maybe this can still be corrected in the upcoming 7.10 release?

Cincom informed me that Res101607 and Res101620 should fix the problem. They were sent to me. I don't know how Non Commercial users can get them.

Thanks,
Aik-Siong Koh

I posted a fix yesterday to the mailing list

James,
you are right. We have a couple of widgets that run with a scroll grid of 1, and we have fixed some,
e.g. the Bundle Structure Panel. Whenever something scrolls slowly it's worth looking whether the
scroll grid is initialized with the low value.
But we have other use cases where the scroll width is properly set. All sequence views use a scroll
width according to the line height. In those cases we have a general scroll width of one line per
wheel notch. Opposed to that, lots of applications provide a scroll height of 3 lines per notch. For
those who feel that this is a more user friendly value, we have the Support Resolution Res101607
which allows to configure that.
The project launcher is a case of low scroll grid initialization. I implemented a simple fix to
assign a good scroll grid during #postBuildWith: but I could not get it loaded. None of the typical
mechanisms to load parcels works. Finally I tried to replace the LaunchPad parcel which is stored in
$(VISUALWORKS)\vw7.9.1\launchpad with a fixed version. But that didn't work either. Obviously, this
parcel is only for docu purpose. All parcel loading is disabled. Since the launchpad image is a
runtime image, there is no chance to fix it other than releasing a new image.
Regards

Re: VW7.9 How to increase scrolling speed of mouse wheel?

As I posted on vw-dev, it'd be nice to have the launcher changed in the
upcoming 7.10 release
.
