Unfortunately, I have not received any feedback on whether RealVNC is going
to make an option to disable bump scrolling. However, since the time of my
request, I did figure out a work-around.
Basically, the trick is to always keep the VNC Viewer window width to two
screens across. At a keypress (using an AutoHotkey script), I move the
two-screen-wide-window from [across Screen 1 & Screen 2] to [across Screen 2],
such that only the left hand side of the VNC window appears on screen 2. For
example, from: | Screen 1 | Screen 2 | No Screen ||
(VNC Window Across 1 & 2) | | To: | Screen 1 |
Screen 2 | No Screen || | (VNC Window Across 2 & No
Screen) |
This means that the VNC window is always maximized; therefore the window
won't bump scroll at all (even on the RHS of screen 2). It is a little bit
confusing in that the left of the VNC window moves to screen 2 and then back
to screen 1 again. But now everything works perfectly... no bump scrolling!
If people would like my AutoHotkey script to do this, please email me.
