            Bug ID: 398929
           Summary: Feature Request re Bottom Scroll Bar and Scaling
           Product: okular
           Version: 1.3.2
          Platform: Debian testing
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: okular-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: chris at dunnz.org
  Target Milestone: ---

Can't call it a bug so feature request.

Have a large (several mb) and wide (24") multi-page document open in Okular.

I set scale to maybe 100% so I can read it easily.

Then I mouse use the bottom scroll bar to move from side to side of document.

Being naturally clumsy, and probably not fully attentive I don't take care with
the position of the mouse cursor and allow it to stray into the document
display.

Okular then (I believe correctly) starts to change the scale of the doc.
display. If the cursor is moving fast I'm almost immediately up to the maximum
1600% scale.

Not a problem? Well no, except that Okular then grabs all the computer
resources while it is re-sizing to 1600% and my desktop is frozen. I'm unable
to do anything else in Okular or elsewhere. I have to wait up to 20 minutes for
the operation to clear so that I can resume working. Can't close Okular.

Otherwise Okular is excellent and my best choice for viewing pdfs.

Is there any way of changing things so that clumsy people like me can't get
into this zoom to maximum situation. Alternately is there any way of stopping
the zoom to max. instruction from taking over my computer.

Thanks.
