I installed CrunchBang++ on a VirtualBox machine. I installed a few packages from the welcome script and the VirtualBox guest additions. I then installed i3 and set it as my window manager by creating ~/.xsession withexec /usr/bin/i3as contents.Everything works as intended with one exception: When I scroll up or down on the mouse wheel, while simultaneously moving the mouse vertically, the current workspace is changed. I'm not sure if X, SLiM and i3 or any other process is causing this. What is the cause of this problem and how do I stop it?.
How to stop scrolling from changing workspaces in i3 on CrunchBang++?
virtualbox;crunchbang;scrolling;workspaces;i3
As this post from Arch Linux Forums suggested, the problem was with VirtualBox rather than any other component. Simply disabling automatic mouse integration fixed the problem.I'm not sure exactly why this is causing problems. An even better answer would of course be one that solves this without disabling automatic mouse integration.
