From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.7 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20030131 Description of problem: During the installation if we select any of the two categories "Minimal" or "Everything" under the "Miscellaneous" section in the "Package Group Selection" screen the mouse scrolling becomes erratic. Upon deslecting this option and upon selecting individual categories the mouse scrolling immediately becomes ok. The scrolling also becomes ok if the mouse is placed over the scroll bar without clicking the mouse button when a category under "Miscellaneous" is chosen and then the mouse wheel is scrolled. My card, mouse etc is detected as follows by Anaconda Graphics Card - SiS 630 Monitor Type - Unknown - earlier in RH 8 or was it 7.3 it used to detect it as a ddcprobed monitor.RH 9 onwards this behaviour has changed. ok ok deviating from the bug sorry.. Mouse Type - Generic - Wheel Mouse ( PS/2 ) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda-9.0.94-0.2003092219.i386.rpm How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start the Fedora install and select all the default options (or any other options in the screens before "Package Group Selection" it is immaterial) in the screens till "Package Group Selection". 2. On the "Package Group Selection" screen scroll down to the bottom and select "Everything" or "Minimal". 3. Try using the wheel of the mouse vigorously. Actual Results: On intensive scrolling using the mouse wheel the display inside the window freezes and the scroll mouse cannot be used remaining functionality of the mouse is as expected. Expected Results: The display should scroll normally as it does when other categories are selected. Additional info: The below mentioned problem may have some significance to the above problem so I am mentioning it here. The below happened on the exact same hardware setup under RH8, RH9. Fedora test1 and test2. During installation mouse is detected as Generic Wheel Mouse (PS/2). Everything is configured perfectly. After installation GUI comes up and I can login etc. But after GUI comes up if I go to any console (Ctrl-Alt-F[1-6]) the mouse starts behaving erratically. Merely attempting to move the mouse causes it to do random selections on the screen and it pastes the stuff also sometimes as if mouse wheel is i thnkbeing pressed. Restarting GPM without changing ANY configs repairs the problem. Switching back between the graphics and console screen causes the problem to appear again. Essentially evrytime I come to the console from GUI I have to restart GPM. I realise that this should be filed as a seperate bug and a reference passed here but I could not figure out under what I should file this bug. I mean gpm, X etc. If another bug should be filed for this purpose kindly tell me under which category and I will be glad to do it. Oh and for X I am using the default sis driver, I have not tampered with the default XF86Config.
This is due to a gtk bug (filed upstream, don't remember the bug number off-hand)
