'ALT + Arrow Left' after scrolling a document

Post by Env »

It used to be possible to scroll a document by mouse by moving the scroll-bar on the right and afterwards return to the initial position in the document by hitting ALT + Arrow left.

Unfortunately this doesn´t work very well anymore: You now don´t jump to the position where you startet "onmousedown" but to several intermediate steps before going to the initial position.

Is it possible the change this to the former behaviour? Would be great :-)

Hey Evn, and thank you for the post,

I think I see what you mean. In the Editor, version 309, Alt+<-- seems to go back one step in the scrolling process rather than to the initial view. I tested with a free scrolling mouse and determined that each time you stop to reach for the beginning of the scroll ball; the Editor interprets that as a new “event”.
I have created a ticket to help track the status of this issue. Please reference RT-2691

THanks!

BTW: There is another problem regarding this topic.

The history where to jump when clicking "ALT + LEFT ARROW" is not limited to one document but to all documents open in the XChange-Editor => If you change the PDF-Document and use ALT + LEFT ARROW you will be jumped through all formerly documents you haven been working on instead only through the history of the document you are currently working on.

That´s a big disadvantage.
