Description Richard W.M. Jones 2012-02-08 16:36:11 UTC
Description of problem:

Very strange bug ...  If you have a list of results, eg. a long
Google results page.  And you middle click to open a link from
the middle of the results in a new tab.  Then you scroll down
in the results list: the list jumps up roughly one page before
scrolling down.

Note that it doesn't jump up immediately you do the middle
click.  It's when you scroll down that it jumps up.

Also it only does this when you use the two finger scroll
down thing on a track pad.  The firefox scrollbar is fine.
So this could be some sort of strange track pad bug.

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

firefox-10.0-2.fc17.x86_64

How reproducible:

100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to a long results page, eg: https://encrypted.google.com/search?q=firelighters
2. Scroll down to the middle of the page.
3. Middle click a link (it opens in a new tab behind the current one)
4. Use two-finger scrolling action to scroll further down the Google page.
  
Actual results:

Page "jumps up" as if you'd pressed PgUp key.

Expected results:

Doesn't do this.

Additional info:

This is extremely annoying!

Comment 1 Richard W.M. Jones 2012-02-08 17:28:34 UTC
This happens in the terminal app too, so I guess
it's not Firefox.  Not sure what to assign this bug
to.

Comment 2 Peter Hutterer 2012-02-09 12:25:14 UTC
most likely https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45611, not sure of a fix yet.

Comment 3 Richard W.M. Jones 2012-02-09 12:30:31 UTC
Yes it does look similar to that bug report.  I should
note that this is a Thinkpad T510 which has two pointer
devices; and I am touching the middle button on one device
then using the trackpad "middle" on the other device.

Comment 4 Peter Hutterer 2012-02-09 12:54:38 UTC
definitely the same bug then, happens when the phys. device is switched.

Comment 5 Peter Hutterer 2012-02-10 18:59:37 UTC

Thank you.  I have installed this and confirmed that it
fixes the bug.

Comment 7 Fedora End Of Life 2013-04-03 20:29:45 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle.
Changing version to '19'.

(As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development
cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.)

More information and reason for this action is here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping/Fedora19

Comment 8 Fedora End Of Life 2015-01-09 22:30:25 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will
be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'.

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 19 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.

Comment 9 Fedora End Of Life 2015-02-18 11:07:49 UTC
Fedora 19 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-01-06. Fedora 19 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.

Comment 11 Peter Hutterer 2015-07-27 23:53:32 UTC
Richard: most likely in the xorg-x11-server package, do you know the last known working version?

Comment 12 Richard W.M. Jones 2015-07-28 07:40:34 UTC
From the dnf.log files, it appears the last working version
was xorg-x11-server-common-1.16.2.901-1.fc21.x86_64

FWIW the previous WORKING versions of all xorg packages were:

Comment 13 Richard W.M. Jones 2015-07-28 07:42:10 UTC
The hardware is a Lenovo X230, which has two separate mouse-like
devices:

SynPS/2 Synaptics Touchpad
TPPS/2 IBM Trackpoint

Comment 14 Peter Hutterer 2015-07-29 05:21:43 UTC
reproducible on my x220 here, introduced between xorg-x11-server-common-1.17.1-11.fc22 and 1.17.2-1.fc22

Comment 15 Peter Hutterer 2015-08-03 07:09:10 UTC
do you still see this with gtk3-3.16.6-1.fc22.x86_64? Could be a dupe of bug 1245247

Comment 16 Richard W.M. Jones 2015-08-03 09:37:40 UTC
Indeed it is fixed by updating gtk3.  Thanks.  I will close this
bug (not mark it as a dupe) since it records the earlier bug
which was in the X server.
