The number of lines you scroll with each “tick” of the mousewheel has been notincreased but scaled*** .
[That makes scrolling through many windows feel off. Yes, it’s faster, but you often end up with scrolling 3/4 of the window per tick.]
This is most pronounced for market screen and agency [so far, and for me]
That’s too much, especially given that no finer control is given, nor any way of “making it finer”.
Why do I whine about it? Coz if you happen to have your mouse do 2 ticks instead of one, you just made 1,5 worth of window height scroll through. It means you did not see a part of it. And that makes “click on the slider” method the go-to for scrolling those windows. Which is silly.
And again, this seems to affect non-proportionally only some screens.
*** Okay, i think i know what it is. You coded the ui scroll in such a way, that the number of lines it scrolls per tick SCALES WITH the total hight of the window. So if there’s a lot of stuff, you scroll through them faster. That could make sense, but the obvious problem is:
you expect the user to expect different results from their input every time the size of the thing changes.
That’s simply not going to happen.
Further testing shows up that it’s even more stupid.
So: you assumed that every window needs to scroll through in 10 mouse wheel ticks. At least that’s true for trading:
Let’s look at the “drones” skill group in the market:
That’s the top of the window.
Now with a single mouse scroll tick we get:
And after 10 ticks we get to the bottom.
Which skips some information, 10 ticks is not granular enough.
Silly enough, when we try scrolling through the “standard amarr battleships”, the results are the same. In terms of ticks:
top of the window:
after a single scroll tick:
[and after 9 ticks we get to the bottom. Of a window that has 3 items.]
I’m sorry, but this design is ridiculous.
Depending on the window, we either scroll 1/10 of the screen, or even more than a whole screen.
No consistancy, except an arbitrary “need to scroll through the whole thing in 10 mouse scroll ticks”.
And if you think, this design is sound, then count how many mouse scroll ticks it takes to scroll through this post. Now imagine if it was 10.
