Bug#414128: eog: Scroll wheel behaves non-intuitively

Package: eog
Version: 2.16.3-3
Severity: wishlist
When there are a lot of images to be viewed, there is a scrollbar in the
collection window. I find it intuitive to hover the pointer over that
window, and use the mouse wheel to control the scroll bar. However, it
instead switches between images (and if the selected image isn't
currenly in view, it even moves the view back to the newly selected
image, far away from where I wanted to go).
I agree that switching between images is a useful operation, however
even after quite some time of using eog, I still make the mistake
regularly to try scrolling with the mouse wheel. To me, this clearly
means that it would be better to follow the standard gnome interface
style, and use the mouse wheel for scrolling the (vertical) scrollbar if
there is one. If there is none, as in the image window, it's fine to
use it for other things (like scaling). (Actually, by zooming in there
does appear a vertical scroll bar there, too, but that only happens
after using the wheel for zooming, which makes it quite a different
situation.)
