My first post, please tell me if this is inappropriate on this mailing<br>
list.<br>
<br>
(First, a huge thanks to all who helped develop Scribus... I'm switching<br>
from a proprietary DTP program, and find it easy to use and powerful.)<br>
<br>
Now my question. I usually use 1.5.1 on a Win 10 laptop, with wireless<br>
mouse. Every so often I forget my mouse and use the trackpad. When<br>
linking text using the trackpad, you cannot scroll down to a different<br>
page . I would have thought as soon as your mouse pointer moves to the<br>
scroll bar it should change back to pointer from the link text. But it<br>
doesn't. Am I missing something?<br>

This is the perfect place for this question.<br>
<br>
Trying this out in Win7 and 1.5.2 (desktop), I don't see the problem<br>
with the pointer.<br>
I do see that neither PgDn or arrow keys work, though. What does work<br>
with a mouse is the scrollwheel, so you might try the scrolling area of<br>
the trackpad to see if that works. Otherwise, try clicking on the next<br>
page arrow at the bottom of the Scribus window, even if it doesn't<br>
change to a pointer.<br>
<br>
Seems odd, wonder if this is some Win 10 issue...<br>

Thanks, Greg. The idea about clicking on the next page at the bottom of the Scribus works!<br>

When I use the trackpad on Scribus now, i feel like i'm compensating a lot (moving much more slowly and deliberately) based on previous problems that created a headache to fix. For example, scrolling the Properties Palette without being mindful will trigger all sorts of spinbox mischief. Or if I zoom in or out, because of that trackpad zoom bug (<a href="https://bugs.scribus.net/view.php?id=12078">https://bugs.scribus.net/view.php?id=12078</a>) i compensate in this weird 2 finger tap-dance (literally) to get it to shimmy and work the way I need it to. </div><div><br></div><div>Main issue this is still a problem is that the devs don't own a macbook/pro so they can't fix it so that would be something useful the community could rally around.
