Bug Description

Lets say you are browsing a web page and as most of us know these shortcuts ctrl+w for closing the page ctrl+t for new page and crtrl+Scroll increase or decrease page size, and (ctrl) is used in most shortcuts. Now when browsing a web page scrolling up and down, then you want to go to the top of the page and you gave a strong scroll to move the page up, if the scroll give more distance than the page limit and used a shortcut using ctrl it will increase the page size since the scroll is still moving.

I'll try to explain it by number. lets lay one single normal scroll move you one page, when browsing a web page you are in page 3, you make a strong scroll which can move you 7 pages to the top, but you only need 3 scrolls, when this is done 3 scrolls are used and the page stop scrolling because it is at the top while the 4 remaining scrolls are still in action and you will see this when trying to perform any of the shortcuts using ctrl button, so when yo try to open a new tab using the shortcut immediately after scrolling, this will increase the page size with the 4 remaining scrolls. This is so annoying since you have to wait for some seconds till scrolling is finished then use the shortcuts.

This does not happen only in web browser, it could happen in any folder and any application, even on desktop, scrolling have the same problem

Ammar,

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner.

Unfortunately, we could not work on this bug because your description didn't include enough information about the Ubuntu installation that you were using although from the linked question you tell us that it was Ubuntu 14.04.

You may find it helpful to read "How to report bugs effectively" http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html.

Are you still seeing the problem that you reported? If so, we'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem so that the report can be assigned to a specific Ubuntu package.

If we do not hear from you the bug report will close itself in approximately 60 days time.

Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.
