Description Johan Vervloet 2015-06-08 18:50:13 UTC
Description of problem:

If I connect to a Virtual Machine (win 8.1) using virt-viewer, the scroll wheel of the mouse does not work when running a 'Gnome on Wayland' session.

I guess this is an issue of gtk-vnc, possibly related to bug #1170509.

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

gtk-vnc2-0.5.4-1.fc22.x86_64
libwayland-server-1.7.0-1.fc22.i686
libwayland-client-1.7.0-1.fc22.i686
virt-viewer-2.0-1.fc22.x86_64

How reproducible:

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Log in with a 'Gnome on Wayland' session
2. Start virtual machine (with virsh start)
3. Connect to virtual machine (with virt-viewer --connect)

Actual results:

I cannot use the mouse's scroll wheel in the viewer.

Expected results:

I am able to use the mouse's scroll wheel in the viewer.

I observe the same issue for current Fedora 23 when launching gnome-boxes in a Wayland session. Actually, gnome-boxes does depend on gtk-vnc2 as does virt-viewer. Things work as expected when gnome-boxes is launched in a normal X session.

Comment 2 Stefan Kirrmann 2016-06-30 16:41:31 UTC
I do have the same problem with Fedora 24

Comment 3 Mike Gray 2016-09-04 21:45:50 UTC
Still an issue in Fedora 24 under Gnome + Wayland. Mouse scrolling does work with a usb mouse. However, it is not working with multi touch scrolling or with the trackpoint on my T450s Thinkpad. Under X11, both forward scrolling information to the virtualized mouse.

Comment 4 Fedora End Of Life 2016-11-24 11:52:17 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 23 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 23. 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bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '23'.

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 23 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.

In Fedora 25, it's as Mike Gray describes: *mouse* scrolling works, but scrolling on a touchpad does nothing when the host is running Gnome Shell + Wayland.  See bug 1386602; either this bug is resolved (for the Fedora 23 mouse issue) and 1386602 is for the touchpad issue, or else that bug is a duplicate of this one.

Thanks for the pointer, let's dupe this to the newer bug which has more recent activity
