Bug ID: 500516
Summary: Add a setting to disable scroll changing values in
dropdowns and sliders
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: 6.3.1
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: vse.stopchans...@gmail.com
CC: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
I do not use scroll this way, and never will. I expect my scroll to scroll the
actual page and not to randomly change some values in settings just because I
aimed my mouse at the wrong spot. This is especially annoying in, for example,
tray settings, where the dropdowns take a major part of the frame.
I'm not the only one annoyed by this "feature":

https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/9xgw29/disable_scrolling_as_dropdown_context/
https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/rb9rhk/undesired_behavior_turn_off_mouse_scroll_changing/
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=385270
In the other bug report and one of the posts, this
(https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kirigami/-/merge_requests/415) was mentioned
as a "fix", when the real fix people actually want is to completely disable
this "feature".
The other bug report was also aimed to sliders specifically, while they also
can be a bit annoying, my main issue are dropdowns. If with sliders I can see
how this would be useful, with dropdowns you can't even see the next or
previous value, so basically you're just blindly scrolling through each value
trying to find the one you need. While this may be somewhat useful with
dropdowns that have just a couple of values, more often it's just an annoying
and unwanted behavior
I think the best place to put this setting in is the Quick Settings, aka the
starting page of Settings.
With kind regards, pls fix.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Scroll with mouse wheel on some dropdown or slider in Plasma settings
