[SOLVED] Scroll bar click behaviour

Post by jeenuv »

Having installed Mint 20.1 recently, I find that clicking on the scrollbar has a "jump to here" behaviour. I.e, the effect is as if the scrollbar were dragged to the point where I clicked.

Previously, and elsewhere, clicking on the scrollbar has the effect of pressing PageDown/PageUp key. To get this behavior now, I'd have to do Shift+click.

How do I get back to the previous (PageDown/PageUp) behaviour? I'm sure it's some checkbox/theme setting somewhere.

Open a Terminal (Ctrl-Alt-T), copy-and-paste the following command-line, then tap Enter...

Code: Select all

echo -e "\n[Settings]\ngtk-primary-button-warps-slider = false\n"|tee -a ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini

Just close and reopen Firefox, no need to reboot.

This mod works with the MATE, Cinnamon, and Xfce desktop environments.
