Description Andrew Schorr 2017-10-05 20:16:27 UTC 
Description of problem:
In fullscreen mode, bump scrolling is broken in tigervnc 1.8.0.
This has been reported and fixed upstream here:
https://github.com/TigerVNC/tigervnc/issues/477

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
1.8.0

How reproducible:
Run vncviewer in fullscreen mode and notice that bumping up against the edge of the screen does not induce any scrolling.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. vncviewer -FullScreen <vnc server with desktop larger than local display>
2. bump up against edge of screen and see that scrolling does not occur.
3.

Actual results: Bump scrolling is broken in this release.


Expected results: Bump scrolling should work.

Can be easily backported.
Comment 3 Andrew Schorr 2017-10-06 13:52:44 UTC 
Needless to say, Fedora 26 suffers from the same bug.

Hi.

I hate to be a pain in the ass, but if this patch can be easily backported, why hasn't it happened yet? It couldn't be much easier. I have already supplied the patch. And now you pushed out a new release with tigervnc-working-tls-on-fips-systems.patch and did not include this bump scroll patch. Why is that? It would have been so insanely easy to include both patches.

Regards,
Andy

That fix I pushed was critical. I would have pushed even this fix, but it didn't get all the acks and I was a bit overwhelmed back then, so I really didn't have time to poke people around to approve this.
Comment 8 Jan Grulich 2018-01-18 12:57:29 UTC 
Fixed in tigervnc-1.8.0-5.el7.
Comment 10 Tomas Hudziec 2018-02-06 16:52:09 UTC 
Verified that bump scrolling does not work with tigervnc-1.8.0-4.el7 and works with tigervnc-1.8.0-5.el7. Tested on x86_64.
