            Bug ID: 315927
           Summary: Scroll bar snap back to last position feature
                    (requested, or was removed or disabled)
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: kate
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: kwrite-bugs-null@kde.org
          Reporter: alpeterson@gmail.com

When I have a long page and need to compare two points,

I now have to drag the scroll bar between the two locations...

Previously, If I drag the scroll puck down, and realize that I didn't want to
scroll, or want to compare two positions, I move the cursor off the puck, and
the puck snaped back to where I started.   It also snaps back to where I am if
I keep the button pressed.

This lets me undo a wonky scroll, or compare two distant portions of a
document.

There has typically been a good margin where the puck is associated with the
cursor, but If I move over say 100 pixles away from the puck, it snaps.

Then if I move the mouse left to right (for a vertical scroll bar) it lets me
jump between two portions of a document.

This has been standard on windows for as long as I know, and it is awesome.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.in a long doucment, drag scroll puck 
2. move it down
3. move cursor to the left.
4.  move up down
4. move cursor to the right.
5
Actual Results:  
The scroll puck keeps moving when the cursor is far to the left.

There is no "undo" or snap back to where it was.

Expected Results:  
If the cursor gets too far off, I'd expect the scroll bar to jump back to where
it started at.

When I move it back right, it jumps to where it is.

You'll probably switch this to feature request...

I view it as a loss of my carefully selected start point, and I don't know of
other ways to do the same functionality.
