Description of problem: Using gnumeric on Wayland. Scrolling using touch-pad does not work. Works fine on other applications (not found similar issues on any other application yet since 2 weeks after initial release of F25). Using the scroll bar works, but does not show where in the window you are (does not move with position, or re-size with area size). Using a mouse works way better. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Behavior is consistent from initial release of F25 until all of today's updates. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Log into a Wayland session. Start gnumeric with any file and scrolling does not work using touch-pad. 2. Log out. Log into a Xorg session. Start gnumeric with any file and scolling does work using touch-pad. 3. Log out and back into a Wayland session, and scrolling is dis-functional again. 4. Fresh install does not make the issue go away. Actual results: Using the touch-pad and two-finger scrolling does not scroll inside the spreadsheet, neither up-down, nor left-right.. Expected results: Using the touch-pad and two-finger scrolling scrolls inside the spreadsheet, both up-down and left-right. Additional info: Hardware: Thinkpad TP440s, i5, 8GB, 128SSD. OS: Fedora 25 clean install Applications (besides std install): gnome-tweak-tool, latex, ImageMagick, gnumeric, pdf shuffler, gnu-cash, gimp, geeqie, inkscape, keepassx, rawtherapee, nautilus open terminal here, cloudstation, xournal, tlp, Chromium, Solitaire, Latexila, Power statistics, VLC, Web/ Epiphany, Firewalld
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 26 development cycle. Changing version to '26'.
Is there some workaround here? Having to revert to X is rather unfortunate.
Same problem in Inkscape since 0.92.1-4.20170510bzr15686.fc25.x86_64. Andrew Overholt: it's possible to launch a GTK3 application through XWayland by setting GDK_BACKEND to x11. Like this: GDK_BACKEND=x11 gnumeric
This message is a reminder that Fedora 26 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 26. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '26'. 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 26 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.
This is still an issue in Fedora 27, FWIW.
Fedora 26 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2018-05-29. Fedora 26 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.

This would be a bug in gnome-shell if anything, the "wayland" package contains only the core libraries and protocol, it doesn't implement scrolling itself. Reassigning.
Reassigning as per comment #19. @reporter and @Andrew Overholt: Is this issue still present?
@Andrew Overholt: I am afraid I cannot test this at the moment. I changed distributions and am currently on MX Linux on Xorg.
Still reproducible in at least Fedora 33 (the latest I have on this machine). (FWIW I just switched to LibreOffice Calc)
Re-closing as F33 reached EOL on 2021-11-30. This bug got missed because the version was never updated. If the behavior still exists in a supported version of Fedora Linux, please re-open and update the version. If you cannot update the version, please needinfo the assignee.
