Scroll with right mousebutton pressed

The behaviour described in the bug report is either by design, or would be far too complex/time-consuming to be changed

Scroll with right mousebutton pressed

Post by *Popelmaus »

Hallo!

If you want to copy a file with the left mousebutton, you can scroll while dragging the file by using the mousewheel or hold the marked file on the top or bottom of the window.
if you use the right mousebutton it doesn't work...

(auf deutsch:
wenn man eine datei mit der linken maustaste kopiert, kann man während man die datei mit der mouse hält, scrollen, indem man entweder das mausrad benutzt oder mit der datei an den oberen oder unteren fensterrand geht.
wenn man die rechte maustaste benutzt geht das nicht...)

Indeed this is currently only supported in left mouse drag mode. Why? In this case, Total Commander itself controls the drag&drop while the cursor is inside of its window. It switches to OLE drag&drop only outside of its window (you can see this by the changed mouse cursor shape). The right button drag, however, always uses the more limited OLE drag&drop function.
