Lack of Scroll Buttons?

http://forums.fedoraforum.org – Hi, It seems that Gnome3 has decided scroll buttons on the scroll bar are not necessary. This is causing me a lot of issues using Evolution in particular. If I grab the scroll bar itself - it is very hard to controll how much scrolls. If I use the up and down arrows, it doesn't scroll through the mailbox but instead selects previous and next message. Use to be I could just click on the arrows and it would scroll a reasonable amount, But that functionallity appears to be gone. Several other things I thought were gone had a non-intuitive (at least to me) way of doing things, like double (HowTos)

scroll arrows 12 weeks 6 days ago

I thought I could get used to it, but I can't. Where are the vertical scroll arrows? I know that's probably considered a "feature", like not being able to resize some window s, but it's not. The lack is annoying.

When I single click on the scroll bar arrows to move one line at a time, Firefox scrolls takes control and scrolls way down (usually to the bottom of the article) before it stops. Most irritating. I tried solving this problem on the Mozilla website but that proved to be useless. any ideas?

BTW the problem just occurred on this site.

Currently trying out KDE, and I'm a big user of multiple workspaces/desktops while I work. I've noticed that essentially, KDE isn't able (or doesn't bother?) to tell between my mouse's standard vertical scroll, and the left/right scroll that it has.

I have a ps2 keyboard that has a scroll wheel on the side, it doesn't work on Ubuntu 12.04 so I though to just check xev and map the correct key. But xev doesn't show up anything when moving the scroll wheel.

The keyboard is this one (A4Tech KBS-26), it works fine on Windows without adding any extra driver. On linux most buttons work, multimedia, calculator, browser, etc.

Below are 2 screenshots. One is what my MainMenu looks like (scroll with 4 buttons) and the other is what I want my splash screen to look like (just the scroll).

So I want the empty scroll picture to show as a splash screen and then the main menu to load (scroll with the 4 buttons).

so the initial problem is the mouse wheel buttons are mismapped.

Ubuntu starts using overlay scroll bars instead the fat scroll bars since 11.04 Natty release.

I have a key-mapping in VIM that looks like this:

map <F5> :silent !tmux send-keys -t 0:0 C-m "python %" C-m<cr>

When I press F5, vim runs my current Python script in tmux session 0, window 0. However, if window 0 is currently in a scroll state (i.e.

Terminal limits scrolling 23 weeks 2 days ago

I have a running log, it outputs a lot to the terminal. Unfortunately, when I try to scroll up and view older output, it appears there is a limit. And I am unable to scroll past a certain point. On the Mac, the terminal allows you to scroll up to the start of the session. Is there a way to do this in ubuntu terminal?
