Hello again,
Another gripe I keep getting is the inability of the webmail
client to maintain focus while in the preview window. People
don't want to have to either double-click a message, or when in
the preview window, click on the scroll bar to scroll through a
message, they would rather be able to click on the layout view,
and once in that view, be able to use the mouse or keyboard keys
to scroll through their message. Why? Yeah, because that's what
outlook can do.
I'm up for any words or reasons I can tell my users as to why
this isn't possible with horde.
Because browser UI elements != OS UI elements.
We make use of IFRAMEs (for HTML messages) to segregate
potentially dangerous external data (message content) from the
rest of the page. IFRAMEs are handled differently by each
browser. An IFRAME, by default, has no connection/contact to the
parent page. So if you do something in the IFRAME, this has NO
EFFECT on the rest of the page.
Essentially, you can think of the message preview as a completely
separate application than IMP. We *try* to capture
clicks/keypresses inside of the IFRAME, but this is not always
possible (e.g. browser issues; for security reasons we may not be
able to precisely simulate that click in the parent page).

Hi Michael,
Yes, OK, thank you for explaining, but when using Outlook Web
Access, you don't have this issue, no matter if you are using a
MAC, or Windows PC. Once you change the focus to the preview pane,
you are able to scroll with the mouse, or by using the keyboard keys
And I'm also confused because you can scroll with the mouse and the
keyboard keys using IMP. Have been able to forever.

Not in the preview window. If you are viewing a message in the
preview window, and click within the preview window area, then hit the
down arrow key, you are moved to the next email message. Hitting the
page down key, you are taken to the last email shown on your screen.
If you hit end, then you are taken to your last email. You can, or at
least I can, only move within the preview window, by cicking on the
scroll bar. Of course, double-clicking on the message and having that
as the main focus, enables you to scroll by any method.
I have this behavior with Chrome and IE-11, and on a MAC using Safari.
Please know that I am only asking to try to better explain to people
how to better use the horde webmail system versus what most used to
use in Outlook.
John
I'm able to scroll with mouse in Firefox on linux and i even don't
have to focus right iframe - Firefox is scrolling that iframe, where
the mouse pointer is. But i'm not able to scroll with keyboard too.

Not sure if my first email went out. This looks to be a problem on my
side with mouse scrolling. I will check that on my various PC's.
