unable to scroll page when mouse pointer is over handsontable

[phishy]

I cannot confirm this on another computer, but on my MacBook Pro, two-finger scrolling will not engage when hovering over the table. Can anyone with a real mouse confirm/deny this issue?

+1 on Lenovo touchpad 2-finger scroll doesn't scroll the page when hovering over the table even if handsontable doesn't have scroll bar.

It is same if you use mouse scroll. But it scrolls table itself. But I didn't checked if it scrolls page, if table is small enaugh not to be scrolled.

Maybe there could be option, how table should react to mouse scrolling.

+1 same problem here. Used in chrome, windows 7; scroll wheel and touch pad the page doesn't scroll. The table is ok.

I have the same problem. Is there no solution to this problem?

If the table is set to overflow:visible, it shouldn't capture and abort scroll events, IMO. Right now, it seems to capture all scroll events regardless of whether or not we're trying to use handsontable's scrolling functionality.

+1 this is a big pain point for us as well.

The only solution (really a hack) I have found is to disable the mousewheel event listener all together by pulling it out of the handsontable source.

I can't reproduce it via my track pad in MBP in example from: http://handsontable.com/index.html
Can you check if you can reproduce it there?

[gruppler]

Yes, the problem occurs there as well.

[setthase]

Could you send your environment specification (browser, OS)?

[gruppler]

Sorry. Chrome 26 on Windows 7 using a common Logitech mouse with wheel.

Unable to scroll the page when the mouse is over the table.

As @gruppler says, it also happends in the link example @codename- posted.

This did not happend with version 0.7.3.

Tested over the following browsers for Windows 7:

• Internet Explorer 9.0.8
• Chrome 26.0.14
• Firefox 20.0.1
• Opera 12.14

I can reproduce it on my Mac only in Chrome and Safari. So it seams to be related with webkit engine. In Firefox it's working fine for me.

@codename- I haven't tried it on Mac, I will try it at night, but I am testing it in Firefox 20.0.1 over Windows 7 and it doesn't scroll with the scrolling wheel of the mouse, which is quite annoying using a large and full width table.
It doesn't seem to be about webkit.

My table doesn't have a scroll bar. Similar as the one in the example which doesn't scroll either.

As @go1dfish says, it works well just deleting the mousewheel event. (at least for my table with no scrolling bar)

I changed this:

//line 7821
$.event.special.mousewheel = {
    setup: function() {
        if ( this.addEventListener ) {
            for ( var i=types.length; i; ) {
                this.addEventListener( types[--i], handler, false );
            }
        } else {
            this.onmousewheel = handler;
        }
    },

    teardown: function() {
        if ( this.removeEventListener ) {
            for ( var i=types.length; i; ) {
                this.removeEventListener( types[--i], handler, false );
            }
        } else {
            this.onmousewheel = null;
        }
    }
};

For this

$.event.special.mousewheel = {
    setup: function() {
        /********** changes here ***********
        if ( this.addEventListener ) {
            for ( var i=types.length; i; ) {
                this.addEventListener( types[--i], handler, false );
            }
        } else {
            this.onmousewheel = handler;
        }
     *************************************/
    },

    teardown: function() {
        if ( this.removeEventListener ) {
            for ( var i=types.length; i; ) {
                this.removeEventListener( types[--i], handler, false );
            }
        } else {
            this.onmousewheel = null;
        }
    }
};
