Bug ID: 435492
Summary: comic: wayland: popout mode: touchpad scrolling almost
doesn't
Product: kdeplasma-addons
Version: unspecified
Platform: Gentoo Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Comic

Target Milestone: ---
In popout mode with an oversize comic, touchpad scrolling is glaaaccciaaall.
Today's xkcd comic is huuggee, in popout mode it scrolls both ways on my 4k
TV-screen monitor (firefox says the image at the png URL below is 4332x4838)!
It appears Randall Monroe (author) forgot his usual downscale or something as
the content isn't really beyond normal -- some of his comics squeeze a lot more
content into rather more normal sized images.
Assuming he hasn't fixed it by the time this bug is checked it's #2447:
https://xkcd.com/2447/

Attempting to scroll the huge comic demonstrates a bug. With a touchpad and
the comic in popout mode (on wayland if it matters), attempting to scroll...
almost doesn't! Movement is glacial (during an ice-age, not global-warming!).
This is with scrolling speed adjusted for normal usage in the rest of
kde/plasma.
Since various bits of kde have historically had the opposite problem, touchpad
scrolling way too fast until fixed (which they generally are by now), at a
guess the problem /might/ be that a fix for /that/ problem is being applied
twice, thereby making it way slow instead of way fast. Maybe plasmashell
itself has a general fix that got applied after a comic-strip-specific fix was
already in place, without the comic-strip-specific one being removed?
Version is live-git plasma/frameworks (using the gentoo/kde overlay live-git
packages). There's no version for that in the dropdown so I left it as
unspecified. qt 5.15.2+ of course. kdeplasma-addons @ 39047eddf, updated
today, altho IIRC I noticed this some time ago as well (perhaps when I was
switching to wayland and encountering too many bugs to bother with all but the
show-stoppers) so it's likely been happening for awhile, possibly forever.
