Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 10433
Second wheel of mouse doesn't scroll horizontally
Last modified: 2013-02-07 22:32:25 UTC
One common behavior of a 2 wheeled mouse is that one of the wheels scrolls vertically and the other one horizontally.I've tested, with two types of mice (in two differents pc's) the vertical scrolling goes fine(in all the suite's applications)but the horizontal doesn't work at all. Both wheels only scroll vertically. With the same hardware and software I've tested MS Office applications as well as Windows Explorer and the two wheels do their job fine. This defect is also present in StarOffice 5.2 and 6.0 applications as well.
Felipe, Favor cambia el "Component" arriba desde "es" a "ui". He intentado pero no pudo hacer cambios. saludos, Richard.
Richard: Tal como solicitado cambié el component de arriba de "es" a "ui" Saludos Felipe
Reassign issue to owner of selected subcomponent
HI->HDU: As I know you have a two wheel mouse, please take over.
HDU->SSA: A feature request for the master of mice on W32.
SSA->CJ: I think I could somehow detect the second mouse wheel and send some messages to the application, but they have to perform the proper action (i.e., the horizontal scrolling). So its an RFE. Please decide what to do.
CJ->BH: Like Stephan said it is a RFE and not a defect. So I reassign this to you. In my opinion we should support two-wheels. If it is standard to have the second wheel for horizontal scrolling we should behave in the same way.
Considered for 'Office Later'.

Dear developers, what is the current status of this problem? Thanks a lot for your attention. P.S. Please also consider http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=21925
I'm interesting too what about second wheel. It's good feature still missing in OpenOffice. It's to hart or to small problem to do ? Best regards
SBA: Duplicate of issue 21925? Please see my comments in that one.
I'm voting for priority implementation into Calc, because IMHO there is the largest profit of it. I'm using Logitech mouses on all my computers and with most of them you can tilt scroll wheel to the left and right. In most applications it works as horizontal scrolling. In most of Issues regarding mouse horizontal scrolling somebody suggests to mark issue as duplicate of 21925. IMHO this one (10433) should be the master, because in most windows mouse drivers it is possible to configure special buttons or wheels to make horizontal scrolling, in X, I suppose, it's configurable too. So primary there should be response to horizontal scroll events in OOo apps.
To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on my owner to the owner "requirements".
