Even with my settings horizontal scrolling behaves as if it's configured to scroll at least half the viewport width at a time. On Mac/Cocoa, horizontal and vertical scrolling are equally smooth, and that's where I did most of my testing (while replying to this ticket).</p></div>

<p>For me it's not so much about smoothness. It's rather that scrolling in both directions happens with the same speed. That makes sense for images, but for scrolling through a directory tree you might want to have much less sensitive horizontal scrolling, while still being able to scroll fast vertically. I guess Mac OS does that. But this is not something we should try to fix in KDevelop.</p>

<p>Indeed, even the class view has horizontal scrolling. I'd say the case for elision is even stronger there, because that hierarchy isn't going to be very deep. (Though I don't know how deep people nest their name spaces...)</p>
<p>An another note: I was just using Thunderbird and noticed that they are eliding not at the end, but somewhere in the middle. Could this be a solution? Suppose you have files <tt style="background: #ebebeb; font-size: 13px;">projectmanager.cpp</tt> and <tt style="background: #ebebeb; font-size: 13px;">projectmanagerview.cpp</tt>, which are both abbreviated like <tt style="background: #ebebeb; font-size: 13px;">projectmanag...</tt> right now. Instead we could abbreviate them <tt style="background: #ebebeb; font-size: 13px;">proj...er.cpp</tt> and <tt style="background: #ebebeb; font-size: 13px;">projec..ew.cpp</tt>. A disadvantage would be that we waste space for the file ending, which is already encoded in the icon to some extent.</p></div></div><br /><div><strong>REPOSITORY</strong><div><div>R33 KDevPlatform</div></div></div><br /><div><strong>REVISION DETAIL</strong><div><a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/D6184" rel="noreferrer">https://phabricator.kde.org/D6184</a></div></div><br /><div><strong>To: </strong>rjvbb, KDevelop, kfunk<br /><strong>Cc: </strong>aaronpuchert, kfunk, apol, kdevelop-devel, geetamc, Pilzschaf, akshaydeo, surgenight, arrowdodger<br /></div>
