System Information
OSX 10.11.6
Intel Iris Pro 1536 MB

Blender Version
2.80, 3c3d80ea22, 2019-01-08 23:33

Short description of error
In 2.80 we now have new panels which dont show a background by default. However the scale function can be triggered still which got me stuck sometimes because i wasnt sure what was happening.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

hover with mouse over location on the side where panels are.
Press ALT + LMB, this activates panel scroll mode.
As there is no panel background i thought i was stuck i couldnt move

Should the scroll function really be able to activate when no panel is behind it?

@WilliamReynish, maybe this is more a paper cut instead of a bug?

Not sure what paper cut has to do with functional design???

But it shows that the complete transparent panels do have a small issue.

@JacquesLucke Not sure. We could make it so you can only resize the panels when you are over a panel, not the region, and let the view manipulation fall through to the 3d view when in an empty area?

This would be a bit strange if the region background is 100% opaque though - but may be ok?

Another solution could be to make the side bars not 100% when a mouse hovers over it.. Just to show that there is something.
If it is 100% transparent I'd also expect that all the tools work there. Not sure how hard it is to make that work.

@JacquesLucke With the toolbar especially, we gain a lot of space by making the toolbar float on a transparent background. It'd be a shame to get rid of that - even if only on hover.

Overall I would probably prefer to do the opposite thing of making the input fall through to the 3d view if there is no panel.

Isnt it possible to calculate the total height of all panels in this view. Than if the height of the total is height than the window height, why not ONLY than activate the scrolling mechanism. Because when the panel isnt transparent or blocked by open panels, it would not be able to move the scene anyways.

If all panels are closed and its transparent, than void the scroll action. Sounds quite simple actually

Yes, that's the idea. To only allow scrolling inside the area where you see panels, and make the input fall through to the underlying editor where the panels end.
