>click scroll bar. >drag it. >mouse pointer gets too far away from the scroll bar
this has been driving me crazy since 1995
Same
But scrollbars have gotten smaller over time, now necessitating pixel-perfect accuracy to even use.
I've been making do with scroll wheels, but I think I should get around to looking up how to make them bigger.
Why are mouse cursors microscopic by default? I always crank it up to size 3 when handling a new machine, starting up my own account on a new work computer, etc.
i should complain on stardock until they make something to fix this shit. I want electron to fricking die.
KDE theme oxygen lets me have big scroll bars.
probably some old win1.0 behavior that never got changed
because when you write your own controls, you can capture the mouse and hold it until the user releases the button, no matter where on the screen it is

the story of the windows operating system
the most moronic part is if you want to change settings that matter you need to find a win32 menu
even though windows 8 onwards hides them under a layer of trash
Lmao who even uses the old control panel anymore, fix your autism
I still can’t get over the settings/control panel debacle. What the frick are they thinking?
a menu with more than 4-8 options makes the normalgays eyes bleed that's why they removed control panel. these days I dont even miss it because thanks to stardock I have access to everything results in my search field and can just auto run applications from there by typing.
The menu in Word for DOS is called a 'ribbon', wonder if they realise they reinvented that.
Windows cuckold humilation ritual
You run Windows, you're not fooling anyone.

Mindbroken by windows
I don't know why you morons keep claim that it's fake when literally everyone can verify it in the archive. Mindbroken wincuck defence army. Imagine defending and advertising a trillion dollar company for free, literally brainwashed by corporate capitalism.
its reverse ntr. my computer-chan leads ntr man on a long drawn out date where she pretends to get ready for the ntr of a life time. only in secret while she's been distracting him I've made off with alll his harem of proprietary software, Then when he finally shows up after I've kracked every single one, I krack windows chan right infront of gates-kun. her serial bus is moving on it's own and she doesn't want telemetry anymore.
She wants features and to dress in the style of the demure 98-chan, the playful me-chan, and the serious 2k chan.
(oh I get it its being filtered by troony jannies because oh no not muh heckin unpozzed platformerino)
more precise control
ask raymond chen, that guy knows obscure stuff about windows
kek I totally forgot this was a thing
yesh I've been annoyed by it a couple of times
It's a feature. Open a long PDF, go page 5. You want to take a peek page 12 WITHOUT LOSING your current position.
You just use the scrollbar, get down to p12m then, without releasing it, move your cursor left, toward the center of the document.
Poof, you go back where you were.
Very fricking useful and thankfully still works in windows 11. Cinnamon needs it.
>look at where scroll bar is
>move it to look at page 12
>simply move it back
was that so hard?
when the ratio is bad enough it is
I'm kidding, I hate extra mental overhead. I've never used it as a feature and found it annoying like OP, but I'll remember this in the future. Growing up I just thought the object had a range around it, and didn't understand it was meant to do that.
It's hard when your doc is 500 pages.
.net framework and all other .net building packages and tools are garbage as well as a lot of Windows quirks
in the late 90s early 2000s Microsoft was building this shit at breakneck speed to fiercely beat any potential competition but it meant that a lot of it was built very quickly and even though it "works" it still has poor quirks
Its long been the standard since its cheaper often to just use Microsoft instead of building your own in house and some things they made initially are hard to rewrite whilst keeping 100% compatibility with the massive catalog of software that was built for Windows
Some things they built were very exceptional for the time like active directory or terminal services (inb4 Citrix built this, I know) and others were absolute crap (control panel, printer handling, local search)
Windows explorer is iterated in every new version of Windows and its still fricked up, Windows 10 was close but I think they threw out the existing code base in Windows 11 and built it partially or fully in abstracted web languages and now its utter dogshit again.
People learn to live with it though because it just werks and if they have to reboot / reimage it now and again then that's just fine for most normal people.
as with every other annoying thing in windows old people its why just about every programs asks you if you are sure you want to close anymore cause stupid old people will close without saving and then throw a fit at Microsoft support over it
i am much more tech savvy than the average boomer and i use those "are you sure?" dialogs for all text editing and even when closing multiple tabs in firefox
works on linux
stop asking questions chud, the web-developerx know best
Setting the value uses onrelease.
Mouse out of focus triggers a new state event, which updates the gui.
Gui reads value its binded to, but it was never set with new value. So it "snaps" back.
To clarify
Onrelease was never fired because release happened out of focus of the control(scrollbar)
