Description Kyrre Ness Sjøbæk 2004-06-23 13:09:48 UTC
Description of problem:
In all other browsers i have previously tried, a had been able to use
the arrow keys to scroll the text. This is a real usefull feature, as
using the mouse to scroll with the scrollbar can be a real pain for
usability.

In epiphany, those keys seem to move a marker, which makes scrolling
somwhat unpredictable...

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
epiphany-1.2.4-1

How reproducible:
Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Start epiphany
2.Try to scroll with the arrow buttons on the keyboard
3.
  
Actual results:
Jumps wildly arround

Expected results:
Scrolls smoothly up and down (even sideways if needed)

You've probably activated "caret browsing" mode; you can disable it
with the F7 key.

Comment 2 Kyrre Ness Sjøbæk 2004-06-24 14:25:29 UTC
Ok. But what is the big point of such a function? And what does it
translate into in norwegian? (how do i turn it of?)

I think this conflicts with the manifesto:
