RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:

If you open a doc and turn off the "continuous" setting, then the behaviour of the scroll wheel on the mouse is different depending on whether the scale is set to "fit page" or anything else. With "fit page" the scroll allows you to flip through pages. Without "fit page" (ie. "fit width, or any scaled %) the scroll is limited to the selected page.

This change in scroll behaviour is annoying and inconsistent. 




Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
evince-3.8.3-8.el7.x86_64


How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a doc
2. Deselect "continuous"
3. Select any scale other than "fit page"
4. cannot use scroll to go to next/previous page

Actual results:


Expected results:

Expect scroll to behave consistently in all modes.

Additional info:

I've prepared a patch improving the situation here some time ago but it is not accepted by upstream yet. So it won't be probably fixed for 7.2. Sorry.

I'll try to get my patch which improves the situation here into upstream (together with changes proposed by upstream).
The switching of pages by scrolling at the beginning/end of a page in non-continuous mode won't be accepted as per https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=168449#c4 which I think still holds.

My patch was accepted upstream so we can try to get it into 7.3.
