Description Thomas Whitmore CLA 2003-11-13 18:28:06 EST 
Mouse wheel is most useful for rapid viewing and scrolling, however Eclipse has 
this tied to editing focus.

Clicking to select the window (eg Debug stack trace) takes extra mouse action 
and often changes other views eg Source code display in editors, taking you 
multiple steps away from where you were working etc when all you wanted to do 
was quickly view & scroll.

Don't know whether Java, SWT or something else is supplying this wheel 
behaviour but it would be highly more effective (and slick) to have it on hover 
rather than focus.

Sound good? You must have requests for this already, maybe I just didn't search 
in the right place :-)


Regards,
Thomas

Will start by sending this to Debug as you talk about using the wheel for a 
Debug stack trace.  May need to be redirected to SWT.

This would be generic platform/SWT support - not something that would be 
specific to the debugger.

This has been previously requested, but it's not something that swt will 
provide, see bug 45355 .
