Turn off scroll to switch between virtual library tabs?

Aerie · 02-20-2018, 11:58 PM

If the cursor is over the virtual library tabs and I use the scroll wheel it switches tabs. Is there a way for me to stop that happening? Because I would really prefer to disable that if I can.

I searched for answers before posting but didn't find anything that related to this, my apologies if I missed something obvious. Thanks for any help!

No, that behavior comes from Qt, the graphics toolkit calibre uses. As far as I know, there is no way to prevent this, short of overriding the event handler in the widget, which is rather too much work.

Nuts, that's screwed me up a bunch of times -since it's not always obvious I've accidentally moved to a different library- and I was hoping there was an easy way to stop that happening.

Thank you anyway!
