Issue 431

[Harald Kuhr]

Sorry for jumping in on this thread, 

If there's a preferred way of reporting things like this, please let me know. :-)

I think the issue in question is horizontal scrolling on a trackpad, or a mouse with a scroll ball (like Apple's Magic/Mighty Mouse). Which translates to  a MOUSE_WHEEL MouseEvent. While the current Apple solution clearly works, using the SHIFT_DOWN modifier is kind of a hack. 

Would it be possible to propagate the support for horizontal scrolling of the mouse wheel up to the core JDK, so it wouldn't have to be emulated like it currently is? I would assume input devices on other platforms will provide this functionality soon too...


Best regards,
