Ren'Py How would you set a viewport edgescroll to vertical or horizontal only?

[Ying Ko]

The vertical edgescroll works how how I would like it, but when approaching the horizontal edge my buttons within the viewport move.

Isn't it the goal of viewports, to move what is within them ?

I wanted to offer an optional alternative to using the scroll wheel when navigating a recurring interactable list. Vertical edgesrcoll is a fluid alternative, however, horizontal edgescroll has the list bouncing to and fro in a distracting manner.

does it need horizontal scrolling? because if not, then it shouldn't do edgescrolling as long as the viewport and scrollbar width is smaller than the screen

so here I get bouncing

define gui.scrollbar_size = 18

screen my_screen():
    add "background.png" xsize 1920 ysize 1080
    viewport:
        scrollbars "vertical"
        edgescroll (150, 600)
        mousewheel True
        arrowkeys True
        pagekeys True
        vbox:
            xsize 1920
            ysize 2500
            ...

but if I reduce the size of vbox to fit the scrollbar I don't get any bouncing (RenPy 7.5.3)

define gui.scrollbar_size = 18

screen my_screen():
    add "background.png" xsize 1920 ysize 1080
    viewport:
        scrollbars "vertical"
        edgescroll (150, 600)
        mousewheel True
        arrowkeys True
        pagekeys True
        vbox:
            xsize 1900 #no bouncing
            ysize 2500
            ...

I gave it a try, my buttons still bounce horizontally, I'd rather have no edgescroll than the results I'm getting. Thanks anyway.
