1185 Win7 UI 1 process console scrolling?

[mschuster]

Run one or more processes that generate several hundred lines of process console output. Use the mouse in the process console window's scroll bar. Click in the scroll bar's page up or page down area (i.e. above or below the thumb). The window should be scrolled up or done one page. Instead, the thumb seems to be repositioned to the click's location. So there is no easy way to scroll by one page.

Oh, I just noticed the same problem in the Script Editor window.

This wors this way by design, and should be the same on version 1.8.3: text views scroll to the point where you click on a scroll bar. To scroll by one page up or down exactly, make sure the window in question has the keyboard focus and press PgUp or PgDn, respectively.

I disagree.

Open any other application and click in the page area. The app scrolls one page. 1.8.3 does likewise.

IMO 1.8.4 operation is a bug: Highly non-standard scrolling. 1.8.4 confuses dragging the thumb with clicking.

Thanks,

Ah, I understand. You mean when you click above or below the scroll thumb *without* dragging the mouse. Yes, this is a problem. Something has changed in the way Qt 5 manages these mouse click events, with respect to Qt 4 (used by PI 1.8.3). I'll see if I can revert this change by modifying some property of QScrollBar, or will manage these events on my own otherwise, to force page by page scrolling. Thanks for reporting this problem.
