Dev Build 2052

[jps]

Dev Build 2052 is out now, with support for smooth scrolling.

Smooth scrolling is on by default, and you can either tweak the speed, or disable it, via the "scroll_speed" global preference (set it to 0 to disable smooth scrolling). I'm in two minds as to whether it should be enabled by default - any feedback is welcome.

good job!

[Anomareh]

Came across an oddity with smooth scrolling. When moving the mouse wheel really fast it seems to just jump and there's no scrolling at all. It just blinks to wherever you're scrolling to. Not sure if that's desired or not but it's rather counterproductive.

[jps]

Can you let me know the platform, and what type of mouse it is? (especially if it's one of the microsoft mice with a detent-less scroll wheel)

[Anomareh]

Ah sorry, Arch Linux x86_64. I'm not sure if it's the type of mouse you mentioned in parenthesis, but it's a Microsoft Basic Optical Mouse.

I have the same behaviour like Anomareh.

Windows 7 32bit, Logitech Wireless Trackball M570 and Logitech Bluetooth MX Revolution Laser Mouse (same result with both devices).

[jbrooksuk]

I get similar behaviour.

It looks like it wants to scroll, but it just jumps. No scrolls.

I don't have a special mouse, just one of the standards that come with Dell computers.

Mine's the same. But I can't think of why one would need to see the text scrolling while jumping from line 1. to line 784. in 150 milliseconds.

IMHO, it really help the navigation by giving a feedback of the direction you jump and the distance (by speed). And it's visually nice to see...

It look there is some strange behavior in the Goto Symbol and Goto Line command:
If I remember well, before 2052 the buffer was updated immediately when you navigate in the Symbol list or you type a line number.
Now, sometimes it updated, sometimes not, depend if the line to show is already in the visible region of the buffer or not.

And I've the same behavior with mouse wheel as other already reported here.

...and Goto Anything hang with 100% cpu usage when I try to enter a filename (in a big project)

Revert to 2050 and everything work fine again.
