The feature to navigate back/forward when scrolling horizontally (with a mousewheel or similar) was introduced with revision 19367. I don't like this behaviour, horizontal scroll should scroll horizontally. (!) The reason I don't like this behaviour is that I have configured the TrackPoint on my ThinkPad to scroll when holding down the middle button. That is, I can use my TrackPoint to scroll in any angle I want. Most often, when I scroll vertically with my TrackPoint, I scroll a little slanting, i.e. it scrolls a little horizontally when I scroll vertically. The result is that when I use my TrackPoint to scroll vertically, Thunar goes back/forward in history. This makes using my TrackPoint to scroll in Thunar mostly useless. I know Firefox has the same default behaviour (which I consider broken) as Thunar, but in Firefox, one can fix the behaviour in about:config. So please, either let horizontal scroll scroll horizontally by default, or make an (hidden?) option to fix the default behaviour. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
2006-01-11 Benedikt Meurer <benny@xfce.org> * thunar/thunar-standard-view.c(thunar_standard_view_scroll_event), thunar/thunar-preferences.c: Add a new hidden preference, MiscHorizontalWheelNavigates, which controls whether the horizontal mouse wheel should be used to navigate back and forth within a Thunar view. This fixes bug #1319.
Thanks, it works :)
