Desired behavior
UX improvement feature request for qualitatively "better" scrolling of the plugins menu. Followup (kind of) on #368.
I've only tested on a HiDPI laptop with track pad, not sure if the behavior is different on other screens.
Currently, the scrolling is pretty unusable for me.
I get 5 menu items, and if I scroll normally, it jumps in a flash from the top of the menu to the bottom, with everything in the middle rushing by in a blur.
To get to the item I want, I have to scroll extra carefully, and that is if I already know the plugin's name and where in the alphabetically ordered menu to look for it.
See GIF below for illustration.
Two things I can quantify "better":
Alternatives considered
Implementation suggestion
This PR might help to see where to get started gazebosim/gz-gui#134
Additional context
This is the slowest I can scroll on my laptop track pad, if I scroll very carefully. Some menu items still take several tries to get to.
If I scroll normally, it just jumps from the top to the bottom. Nothing in between is readable.
A difference I notice is that I only get 5 items in the menu. In this other issue about plugin menu scrolling #368 , the window looks impossibly long, perhaps it was taken on a vertical monitor?
A longer menu would help alleviate some of the bad scrolling.
