I know what you mean. Point gwenview at /usr/share and set the zoom level so that 5 or 6 rows of folders are visible, then mouse wheel in the icon view. The folder icons appear to stay in the same place, and the folder names change.
It's an illusion because the scroll increment is a multiple of the row height, the same one if you are shooting a film with railings in the background that at a certain speed seem to slow down, stop moving and go backwards. Dolphin scrolls by fractional row increments so it doesn't suffer from this problem.
It's only noticeable when you scroll a lot of folders that do not contain pictures, so they don't have thumbnails, but I've talked about it with the Gwenview developer and he has appropriated the wheelEvent code from Dolphin that does this, so you should see a change in a future release of Gwenview.

AAAHHHAAA!!, I knew I wasn't crazy. What is strange is why am I just noticing it now with gwenview? Is it new to gwenview in 4.4.2 or has some other change brought this to light? Regardless, I'm glad to see work being done on scroll. One thing that has been very frustrating is that scrolling in K4 is like a box of chocolates -- you never know what your are going to get. Sometimes scrolling with the mousewheel (or clicking up/down in the open part of the scrollbar) kde4 has always scrolled more than 1 page or ended up with 1/2 the upper or lower row of icons cut off or worst of all skipping past several rows that you never get to see. It was so bad at times I would have to go back through lists to find items that had simply been scrolled past without ever being shown. Glad to see it finally getting some CPR. -- David C.
