Scroll doesn't work until the mouse is moved

[alvarotrigo]

I'm creating slimScroll structure dynamically as well as calling the initialization.

I've been able to reproduce the problem in a jsfiddle with a timeout so you can have time to place the mouse over the scrolling div, and without moving it at all, try to scroll. This will show the bug. Slimscroll won't scroll unless you move the mouse.

Why there's a mousemove event inside the mousedown here?

    bar.bind("mousedown", function(e) {
            var $doc = $(document);
            isDragg = true;
            t = parseFloat(bar.css('top'));
            pageY = e.pageY;

            //why is this here?
            $doc.bind("mousemove.slimscroll", function(e){

Nothing? No ideas why?

The problem you described does not seem to have anything to do with this particular line of code. The problem was still present after commenting out the mousemove event.

[alvarotrigo]

@freddyamsterdam yeah right.

I detected the cause of it. It is entering in the following condition:

function _onWheel(e)
        {
          // use mouse wheel only when mouse is over
          if (!isOverPanel) { return; }

I see... me.hover() is not fired unless the mouse is moved... This is how it works... I will try to figure something out or just set the isOverPanel to true for my own purposes.

[freddyamsterdam]

You beat me to it, I was just typing the same thing!

Probably has to do with the fact that jQuery .hover() is combination of mouseenter and mouseleave.

[freddyamsterdam]

    // show on parent mouseover
    me.hover(function(){
      isOverPanel = true;
      showBar();
    }, function(){
      isOverPanel = false;
      hideBar();
    });

    me.on('mouseover', function(){
      isOverPanel = true;
      showBar();                
    })
    me.on('mouseout', function(){
      isOverPanel = false;
      hideBar();                
    })

That doesn't solve the problem. I already tried it.

I ended up deleting the if (!isOverPanel) { return; } from the _onWheel function. Not quite sure why is it there...

[freddyamsterdam]

Sweet! Works like a charm.

[alvarotrigo]

But it causes another problem... not a proper solution.

Anyone solved this issue??
