[Bug] [UX] Change list scrolls to top when discarding & scrolls horizontally when cursor hovers scrollbar
Hello,
Here are 2 UX problems related to the change list.
It scrolls to top when discarding changes
Example case : there are 3+ changes, the first one is to be committed, the second one is to be discarded.
Reproduction steps :
- Mark the first change to be committed ;
- Scroll down to the second change ;
- Discard it.
Expected behavior :
- the scroll position is preserved after the second change is discarded ;
- the third change takes the second's place, allowing it to processed without further scrolling.
Actual behavior :
- the scroll position is reset to the very top after the second change is discarded ;
- the user must scroll down through the first change again to continue processing the following ones.
It scrolls horizontally when cursor hovers scrollbar
Example case : there are 2+ changes, the first one has horizontal scroll width.
Reproduction steps :
- Position the cursor anywhere in the change list view ;
- Scroll down ;
- The cursor eventually hovers the first change's horizontal scrollbar ;
- Continue scrolling.
Expected behavior : the change list continues to be scrolled down.
Actual behavior : the first change begins scrolling right.
Thanks

What do you think about implementing something like a single scroll bar at the bottom of the diff window that would simultaneously scroll all the diffs of each file in sync? I have no clue how much work it would be to do this.

Yes this is something really anoying, but I think it is more work. As far as I remember then you have to dig into scintilla
