How to get my mouse events back?

Community Support

Hi all,

I find myself scrolling down pages, I know I want to get half way down but there’s some bokeh charts along the way. If, as I scroll down, a bokeh chart comes under my mouse, then my page stops scrolling.

If I have wheel zoom (or similar) enabled then my mouse starts interacting with my chart, which is awesome, but if I don’t then its just unresponsive.

Is there any way, either in Bokehjs or Bokeh, to get some / all of my mouse events back if I don’t need the mouse for the chart?

I don’t mind if it’s hacky for now, I’m happy with something and maybe I can help turn it into more of a feature/config option later.

Thanks,

Bird

This is a know issue, see https://github.com/bokeh/bokeh/issues/1450.

Awesome - thanks!

Sorry, I do try and search, but sometimes you miss things.

Will add this to the things I’d like to contribute too!
