--- Comment #4 from Nate Graham <n...@kde.org> ---
I think whether you view the current behavior as consistent or inconsistent
depends very much on how you conceptualize what a scroll does.

The intended design here is that scrolling over any part of the Task Manager
switches between all of its items, no matter which one the pointer happened to
be hovering over. In other words, it has the UX of a tab bar in an app, which
behaves in the same way.

The folks who get confused by this seem to be fixating on the fact that you're
scrolling on a specific task, and not necessarily manipulating that exact task.

We've had a number of requests for this exact same thing over the years; maybe
it's time to make the scroll behavior conditional and switch between these two
modes.

But I'm curious, for those of you who want to scroll up on a task to
un-minimize it, bring it to the front, or launch it (based on what its current
state is), where is this desire coming from? Enough people request it that I
feel like it must be migrated from some other UI that people are familiar with
when they switch to Plasma or something.

Can anyone clarify?
