WaveForms Logic: Arrows scroll the wrong way

[LarsB]

This is just a minor issue, and maybe my expectations are wrong, but: When I click on one of those little arrows at the side of the signal grid, e.g.,

I get the previous data segment, i.e., the signals scroll to the right (might makes the signal segment at the right edge disappear), which is consistent with the right-facing arrow.

But my expectation is that clicking this arrow on the right side of the grid would show the data that follows after the edge, i.e., more.  In other words, the grid should scroll left. 

Please compare this behavior with virtually any image gallery on the web, and you'll find that clicking the right arrow shows the next image, not the previous.  Compared to this de-facto standard, Logic has it backwards.

Am I the only one who thinks this way?

Hi @LarsB

It depends on the perspective, some people may expect to shift the signal while others the view.
You change the Navigation option under the gear drop-down or right click:

Great, I didn't know that!  In my version, it says "swap event navigation", but it works.  Very minor nitpick: It also reverses the arrow symbol, which is still confusing, so maybe keep the arrow's direction while swapping navigation?  Or maybe it's already like that in your version?

Hi @LarsB

With the arrow swapping I wanted to indicate the current navigation direction.

I see.  As I said, not a big deal. :-)
