Open

Description

@customaware

Description

On a Mac when displaying Table Columns in the Data Tab.....

If there are more columns than will easily fit in the tab form and hence run off to the right....

Normally, in Windows version, you can swipe finger left or right on. the mouse and the columns will scroll horizontally left or right.

But in the current version, the only way to horizontally scroll is to eith pick up the horizontal scroll bar or tab / arrow across the columns one at a time.

HeidiSQL version and OS

MacOS

Database server version

MariaDB 12.2.2

Reproduction recipe

Select Database / Table with lots of Columns.
Select Data Tab view.

Try swipe finger right or left for Horizontal Scroll.... No go

    So this only affects touch gesture, not mouse clicks? Please look at the issue title here.

    A quick test tells me there is no mouse issue.

    @customaware ok so this is a touch/swipe issue. Please report back whether other controls in HeidiSQL with horizontal scrollbars are affected as well, besides the data grid.

    If it's only the grid/VirtualTree instances, this is obviously a duplicate to #355 . Non-Apple mouses partly support horizontal scrolling by thumb wheels, which does not work either. Same effect. I reported this to the Lazarus tracker. You could post a comment there that macOS is affected as well.
