If that help, it happens with the view {karo {} ^linus/master {git for-each-ref --format='%(refname)' refs/remotes/customers/karo refs/heads/karo}} If I knew how to record a video of my screen, I'd do this. Maybe someone knows? Maybe this report is already enough? Happens with Debian's git 1:1.7.2.3-2.2.

Resorting to shrinking the fontsize and the other columns only goes so far when trying to see a list of equivalent refs. If the ability to scroll left and right can be kept that would be cool. v/r, Neal ``` ## Uwe Kleine-König, 2011-01-07 20:22 Subject: Re: bug in gitk: history moves right when scrolling up and down with mouse wheel Message-ID: <20110107202239.GN25121@pengutronix.de> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/20110107202239.GN25121%40pengutronix.de In-Reply-To: <4D275F02.1030100@gmail.com> ``` On Fri, Jan 07, 2011 at 12:44:18PM -0600, Neal Kreitzinger wrote: > On 1/7/2011 4:55 AM, Uwe Kleine-König wrote: >> Hello, >> >> I don't know yet how to reliably trigger that, but it feels scary. >> >> If that help, it happens with the view >> >> {karo {} ^linus/master {git for-each-ref --format='%(refname)' refs/remotes/customers/karo refs/heads/karo}} >> >> If I knew how to record a video of my screen, I'd do this.

But this is not my problem. I turn the scroll wheel and the window scrolls up and down (which is expected and good). But at the same time parts of the *content* of the window starts moving right and so make the (virtual) window broader.

Interesting. On the Mac it *is* possible to scroll left and right, and it absolutely drives me nuts, so I disabled it in my private build. I guess it's ok with a mouse, where shift-wheel scrolls horizontally, but on a track-pad with two-finger scrolling, where you can scroll both horizontally and vertically with a single guesture, it is completely undesirable. -- Stefan Haller Berlin, Germany http://www.haller-berlin.de/ ``` ## Neal Kreitzinger, 2011-01-08 00:17 Subject: Re: bug in gitk: history moves right when scrolling up and down with mouse wheel Message-ID: <4D27AD21.9060205@gmail.com> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/4D27AD21.9060205%40gmail.com In-Reply-To: <1juqtpt.1dxkc9x1ho9gxzM%lists@haller-berlin.de> ``` On 1/7/2011 2:24 PM, Stefan Haller wrote: > Neal Kreitzinger wrote: > >> Actually, I've wanted the ability to scroll left and right in the >> history pane for quite a while.

What would be ideal is a left-right scroll bar like the up-down scrollbar. v/r, Neal ```
