Description Douglas 2022-10-17 01:59:48 UTC
Description of problem:
In a directory that contains hundreds of files (mostly images and videos) I'm seeing abnormal scroll behavior. The view jumps ahead (skips a portion of the list) when I scroll fast enough. This is a laptop, and I'm using the touchpad with a 2-finger gesture to scroll.

Nautilus is in its default configuration. I didn't change anything in it.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
43.0

How reproducible:
About 40% of the time a fast scrolling gesture is made.

Additional info:
- Fedora Workstation 37 Beta
- GNOME on Wayland
- Fresh install with default options, pretty clean, no added extensions.

I'm having this issue as well as the one in bug 2130511 when scrolling with the mouse wheel, but not with my touchpad.

The mouse is a Logitech MX Master and the touchpad is recognized as SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad. F37, running on X11.

Comment 3 Alexander Ploumistos 2023-05-11 22:24:58 UTC
Hi Matthias, since this has been fixed in gtk4, can the fix be backported to our stable branches?

Comment 4 Ondrej Holy 2023-05-12 08:11:45 UTC
What's your gtk4 version? It should be already fixed in 4.10.3 if I recall correctly.

F37 is on 4.8.3-1:

Comment 6 Ondrej Holy 2023-05-15 08:14:11 UTC
Ah, I haven't noticed it is for Fedora 37.

Comment 7 Alexander Ploumistos 2023-05-15 08:56:39 UTC
Will also nautilus require a rebuild? I see it has both runtime and buildtime deps on gtk4?

Comment 8 Douglas 2023-06-29 18:20:25 UTC
Can we close this? I'm running F38 and it's no longer reproducible.

This was reported against F37. Has the fix been ported to F37? As far as I can tell from bodhi and koji, it hasn't.

This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 37 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 37 on 2023-12-05.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained.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
'version' of '37'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora Linux version. Note that the version field may be hidden.
Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see it.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora Linux 37 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 Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version
prior to this bug being closed.

Fedora Linux 37 entered end-of-life (EOL) status on None.

field may be hidden. Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see
