WDQS: Timeline: scroll not working on desktop (mouse wheel disabled)
Open, Needs TriagePublicBUG REPORT

Description

Steps to replicate the issue (include links if applicable):

  • Open Firefox or Chromium or whatever on your desktop
  • https://w.wiki/5xvW Explore this random Timeline query (yeah I know it's very nice: Open Source videogames by date)
  • Use your mouse wheel to scroll the timeline

Kitten-proof steps to reproduce:

Wikidata Query Service timeline bug scroll demonstration.png (655×1 px, 470 KB)

What happens?:

Nothing.

What should have happened instead?:

Vertical scrolling (when using the mouse wheel).

Horizontal scrolling (when using shift + mouse wheel).

Workaround:

The native scrollbar can still be used. The bug only affects mouse wheel.

Other information (browser name/version, screenshots, etc.):

It works in mobile (panning works). The bug is present only on desktop (scrolling).

I think there is some preventDefault() in some scroll listener. So I think it's a JavaScript bug, not CSS.

Quality control

Test pages:

  • able to scroll on desktop with the mouse wheel in a timeline
  • still able to pan on mobile using your finger (it was already working)
