Caja and Mouse scroll

[anon42388993]

I cannot use the middle mouse button to scroll caja files from side to side.

I would place bets on it being GTK 3 behaviour. Does it scroll if you hold SHIFT while scrolling?

Hi @anon42388993,

does this help at all?:

Yes! Scrolling works with the shift key. Is that the new way of doing it? I hope not

Thanks wolfman, but its looking like gtk3 related.

@Wimpy informs me this should be a bug reported upstream:

Issue: Middle Mouse scroll

Ok, this is fixed in Caja 1.18.0, which is in Ubuntu 17.04. It’s also fixed in 1.16.2, which isn’t in Ubuntu 16.10 yet. I don’t know if they would allow a new upstream release as SRU (Stable Release Update), or would only allow a patch for 1.16.0. In any case, someone would have to file a separate bug report about it on Launchpad, and then @Wimpy could be able to upload the fix.
