Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

first screencast of the issue (list jumps back)

Description of problem:

The first attached screencast shows how scrolling with the down-arrow-button on the bottom of the list doesn't work. Whenever I scroll with it under the currently seen area and leave the arrow button, list jumps back to the original position.

The second screencast shows how using scroll-wheel doesn't work either. The list just doesn't scroll.

The only way how to get to the bottom of the list is with keyboard.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gtk2-2.24.10-1.x86_64
gtk3-3.3.20-1.x86_64
gnome-shell-3.4.0-2.x86_64
pygtk2-2.24.0-1.1.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.open extremely long scroll-list (longer than what fits on the screen)
2.try to scroll in it with scroll-wheel or via down-arrow button
3.
  
Actual results:
see above

Expected results:
both methods should allow me to select items in the list without retreating to keyboard

Works fine in brief testing here, with current GTK+ 3 and long menus.

Comment 6 Matěj Cepl 2014-06-16 19:20:35 UTC
Seems like fixed in gtk2-2.24.22-5.el7.x86_64
