Description Matthew Miller 2013-10-11 18:16:54 UTC
Created attachment 811338 [details]
patch to default to false

This property controls the behavior of left-click on a scrollbar. In previous releases, this scrolled by a page in the respective direction; in 3.10 with this property set to true, the page jumps.

Rationale:

1. This change makes gtk3 apps behave in a way which is confusingly unlike other common toolkits

2. This change seems very minor to people who aren't used to the the behavior either way, but is highly disruptive to people who are used to it

3. In most cases, paging is more useful than jumping anyway, because the scrollbar is a crude indicator of position.

4. With the old behavior, middle-click still gives a jump scroll for cases when people wnat it.

Thank you.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 22 development cycle.
Changing version to '22'.

Comment 2 Steeve McCauley 2015-06-12 19:25:25 UTC
Can't stand this behaviour.  Every time I click on the scroll bar to page down I end up near the bottom of my editor.

Apparently this setting in ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini will fix this annoyance, but I haven't gotten around to testing it,

[Settings]
gtk-primary-button-warps-slider=0

#c2 That doesn't work. I still have this bug despite adding that setting.

Comment 4 Fedora End Of Life 2016-07-19 10:28:54 UTC
Fedora 22 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-07-19. Fedora 22 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.

Comment 5 Paul Stauffer 2016-07-21 19:11:42 UTC
Problem is still present in Fedora 24 as of gtk3-3.20.6-1.

Comment 6 Fedora End Of Life 2017-07-25 18:35:50 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 24 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 2 (two) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 24. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '24'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version'
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not
able to fix it before Fedora 24 is end of life. If you would still like
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.
