Bug Description

Binary package hint: eog

$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 9.10
Release: 9.10

$ apt-cache policy eog
eog:
  Installed: 2.28.1-0ubuntu1

When I a zoom an image, I expect ctrl+ horizontal scroll to scroll across the image. Behaves as expected with right scroll. No activity with left scroll.

Reproduce:
1. Zoom into the image
2. Scroll right with trackpad
3. Now scroll left with trackpad.

More info:

behavior only appears when using ctrl modifier

so when /apps/eog/view/scroll_wheel_zoom is set true:
user is unable to scroll left across image when zoomed

when /apps/eog/view/scroll_wheel_zoom is set false:
user is unable to zoom out with horizontal scroll

This behavior appears to affect gThumb as well.

In general, it seems that the HIG implementation for scrolling is all messed up, as it is a confusing set of different operations for each program. But that is a different bug...
