<p>Hi All,<br>
<br>
Here's an update to the proposal on adding absolute delta to <tt>MouseWheelEvent</tt>:
it turns out, that Windows, since Windows 8, actually <i>does </i>offer
Mac-like absolute scrolling deltas. That <a
href="https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/hh768902.aspx">data</a>
is available for clients of <a
href="https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/hh446969.aspx">Direct
Manipulation API</a>, in device-independent pixels. We're
working on integrating this "modern" API (along with the
corresponding Mac- and Linux-side improvements).<br>
<br>
Thus, 2 of the 3 major OSes already provide absolute scrolling
deltas <span class="st">–</span> that's an additional argument in
favor of the Java's <tt>MouseWheelEvent</tt> enhancement.<br>
<br>
Besides, it seems plausible that Linux will also embrace this
trend and include absolute scrolling deltas in XInput2 and
(especially) libinput.<br>
