Description Martin Kho 2015-03-27 12:03:35 UTC
Description of problem:
Scroll wheel 'stops working' in the gtk application when I switch from a gtk application (e.g. Firefox, Firewall config) to a kde application. I can get it working again by clicking on the desktop (remove focus from the gtk app) and refocus on the gtk application. Rather complex isn't it :-) The steps to reproduce - below - will make things clear. Btw. I'm not sure if I've chosen the right component.

Note 1. It's not a libinput issue (I've removed it).
Note 2. It happens in Fedora 22 (VM and bare metal), not in Fedora 21

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kwin-5.2.2-1.fc22.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Firewall Configuration (Application -> System -> Firewall
2. Check that you can scroll in the Services list
3. Open a plasma/kde application e.g. systemsettings
4. Close systemsettings
5. Try to scroll in the Firewall's Services list (no? -> next step; Yes -> I've a problem ;-( )
6. Click somewhere on the desktop ( remove focus from Firewall app )
7. Click on the Firewall app (title bar).
8. Scroll in the Services list (scrolling works (?) again)

Actual results:
Scrolling stops working in gtk applications

Expected results:
Scrolling keeps working in gtk applications

I see odd 'apps lose input/focus' sometimes too, a quick ALT-TAB usually fixes it.  I've not yet been annoyed yet to dig deeper. :-/

I'll try to take note if it's just gtk apps losing input next time it happens.

Hi,

May be this issue was also caused by the bad tar source. I can't reproduce it anymore. There is, however, a difference between scrolling in kde and gtk applications. If a kde application is inactive scrolling works, in gtk applications it doesn't. The gtk application has to be active.

OK, let's chaulk that up to toolkit idiosyncracies.
