That's also the behavior on Windows
- emi2k01 3y agoIt's also the behavior on Linux with X11 (haven't tried Wayland)
- adrian_b 3y agoAt least on XFCE with X11, this behavior is configurable, you can enable it or disable it, as you wish.
- ndiddy 3y agoNote that this is a feature that was added in Windows 10. Previous versions of Windows didn't have this functionality (you had to click on a window to scroll in it).
- netmare 3y agoAn X-Mouse mode was available since at least Win98SE [1]. It was hidden and you had to enable it in the Registry [2], typically via Tweak UI. That mode would move the input focus without actually clicking on another window. You could see the caption bars change color accordingly, but the "temporarily" focused window could be set to either stay in it's original z-order or moved to the top. Windows 10 uses a different method: it doesn't change the focus and only sends mouse scrolling events to the target window. That's less powerful, but probably more intuitive for us non-*nix users.
