Scroll Wheel Doesn´t Work As Expected With "alter Table"

[larsen]

Hi,

I want to change the collation of a field. When I open the dropdown-box in the “collation” column, I get a long list with a scroll bar next to it.

Now, when I use the scroll wheel, I would expect the collation-list to scroll, but that list closes and the scroll bar from the alter-table-window scrolls.

Cheers

Lars

On my system (a laptop with the scroll device integrated in the touchpad) it depends on where the (mouse-)cursor is when the scroll device is used. If cursor is inside what I have marked with red in attached image the collation combo-box will scroll. If cursor is outside that area the 'parent' dialog (in case the ALTER TABLE dialog) will scroll. Is it same for you or different?

The combo-box is a standard Windows API component, I believe. Does it behave otherwise with other programs? I am not sure personally what is correct behaviour and also not if it is possible for such GUI control to extend its focus to outside of its area on the screen. But I can follow that if you don't want to use the mouse at all then this breaks here. You will need to move the mouse.

I will ask the developer team to check and comment.

It´s different: Scrolling never happens inside the dropdown-box.

Yes, e.g. in Outlook 2007 I can search my adress book and have a list of former search terms. When the mouse is over that box, it scrolls. When it´s outside, the list of mails scrolls.

It´s not about not moving the mouse. Actually, the scroll wheel is on my mouse and I used the mouse to open the drop-down. I just want to use the wheel instead of then moving the mouse to the scrollbar.

Issue reproduced as described and is fixed now. Now if the the mouse wheel happens inside the list window it will scroll the list contents otherwise the grid.

The fix will be available in next public release. Thank you for reporting the issue.
