I have a puzzle in
using the scroll wheel in Pharo 3.0. Lately I have been playing with Moose 4.8,
which I think is Pharo 2.0 plus some extras, and with a fresh download of Pharo
3.0. In the Moose image, if I open a system browser, for example, I find that
the scroll wheel will scroll whichever pane the cursor is in. In Pharo 3.0, it
is necessary to make a pane active, by clicking in it, before it can be
scrolled. I find the first possibility more convenient; for example, if I click
in the categories pane to make it active, it almost always has the effect
of making a selection from among the visible categories, which is not what I
want. Is there any easy way of fixing the Pharo 3 image so that it will have the
effect of scrolling the pane - or the window - which contains the cursor? I have
searched the settings browser headings, but I could not find anything that
looked relevant.
Some years ago, I
poked into the innards of Dolphin Smalltalk and tweaked it to produce the effect
I want. It was not a major change, so it might be educational for me to try the
same trick in Pharo. Still, as there is a version that does what I want, I
thought I would ask if it can be done just by changing a
setting.
Thanks for any
advice
