|
Dear Patrick,
I recall you changed something recently about the scroll gestures. Is there any way of influencing how much a finger move scrolls text?
I am noticing that swiping my fingers barely moves the text, only a line or two or three, even if I move it quickly. I am used to them going a bit faster, for example in Safari. Perhaps this is just on my system, but I am still curious.
Edit: I am mistaken, text moves around 10 lines. But in Safari, I can move two screens of text with a fast swipe...
Best wishes,
Oscar

Swiping definitely is moving a shorter distance as a result of the smoother trackpad magnify/zoom gestures change that I made in NeoOffice 3.4.1.
Unfortunately, I am not sure that you can increase the amount of scrolling that occurs by much. I can get almost a full page of scrolling if I swipe most of the trackpad height, but ultimately what you are seeing is caused by the NeoOffice code putting a limit on the amount of swipe or pinch gesture that it will process per second.
When I have some time, I will see if I can increase the vertical swipe limit without causing the excessive zooming problem that I had fixed to reoccur.

I've installed the latest patch, and it is indeed more responsive when using an Apple track pad on my mac with Mac OS X 10.6.8 and scrolling with two fingers, however with an Apple wireless mouse (the one with the touch sensitive top) on a mac with OS X 10.9.1 an odd thing happens.
It appears to ignore all scroll events from the mouse when your finger is in contact with it. However when you lift your finger at the end of a scrolling move (flick) the NeoOffice window responds to the scroll events that are generated to give you that nice slowing down effect after a flick.
I hope that explanation is clear enough.

I think I know what was causing what you see. In the last test patch, I had added code that filtered out scrollwheel "phase" events. I had added that code because at one point I had thought that they were causing the occasional rapid magnification when swiping while holding the Command key.
I later found the cause of the rapid magnification and it was not due to scrollwheel phase events so in the following test patches I have reenabled handling of such events.
Does the behavior that you saw still occur after you install either of the following patches?:
NeoOffice 3.4.1:

NeoOffice 2013.2:

I've installed NeoOffice 3.4.1 Patch 0 Test 2.
It resolves the scrolling issue I reported, but I now see the same effect when Cmd-scrolling, i.e. the magnification only changes after I take my finger off the mouse after flicking up or down.

In the following test patches I significantly lessened the amount of reduction factor that I was applying to Command-scroll events (the reduction factor is what I use to make Command-scroll events zoom only a little bit at a time instead of zooming wildly).
Are Command-scroll events still unresponsive after you install either of the following test patches?:

I've installed NeoOffice 3.4.1 Patch 0 Test 3.
That seems to have fixed it. Normal scrolling through the document is fine and Cmd-scrolling seems to change the scaling factor in a controlled and predictable fashion.
Thanks Patrick.

FYI. I have included the fix for this bug in NeoOffice 3.4.1 Patch 1 which can be downloaded from the NeoOffice patch download page.
