LDCad 1.6 Alpha 4 (win+linux)

[Roland Melkert]

Hey, I found a small annoyance in LDcad.
I got a new mouse a few days ago, the Logitech MX master. It has a scroll-wheel that has 2 modes, a clicking mode (like a normal scroll-wheel) and a free mode in which you can give it a push and it keeps turning for a while (it has no resistance). It's really nice and even after just a few days I love that feature.

However, LDCad doesn't play too nice with it. Well, it works, but not optimally. When I'm in the source-editor and give the scroll-wheel a good push, it scrolls super slow. Well, not slower than with a 'normal' mouse, but also not faster. It just goes up or down line by line, while I expected the lines to swoosh by. For comparison: when I give the mouse-wheel a hard swing in e.g. Excel, I'm at row 10000+ in mere seconds. The part bin has the same problem, although it works better, it scrolls a little faster than the source window.

I hope I explained it well, I know it may sound a little vague. I can make a little video of it if you'd like.

I only 'sample' the direction of the mousewheel, not its speed so it should behave the same as with any other mouse I think.

I'll look into it some more and might be able to do something with the speed of the wheel in beta 2.
