Mouse wheel works every other scroll-tick

Postby dream_flyer » Sun Oct 22, 2017 10:52 am

Hello all!

With the very stock mice.xml (and with stock keyboard config), in the view mode, I get zoom change every other scroll-tick. How to make the wheel work every tick?

(I want to use the wheel for other purposes, and this "every other tick" is pretty annoying)

FG version 2017.2.1, Debian 9 Stretch.

PS. The event-driven second mouse's wheel works fine - every tick. However, its config is very different. In normal mouse the wheel is treated like two buttons (3d and 4th), while in "event" mouse it's a single "wheel" (see slawekmikula's config example in the linked thread - the "rel-wheel" name). My problem is that I can't find any documentation for all this. Does it exist? Can somebody please point me to it?

+1. Many years in FG I'm experiencing the same problem. I had tried it on Linux, Windows, 3 different computers, but the same problem - when using scroll wheel one click is useful and other is empty.

Thanks guys for confirmation! No big problem, I re-arranged controls to not use the main mouse wheel.

Opened a bug report about this, just so it doesn't get lost: https://sourceforge.net/p/flightgear/codetickets/2002/

FWIW: i do see similar in other apps just scrolling the window... depending on the app and the mouse settings... YMMV...

For reference, we hope to have this fixed now (finally). Please give it a test with current FG next if you can.
