Bug Description

Binary package hint: gwibber

Description: Ubuntu 10.10
Release: 10.10

gwibber:
  Installed: 2.32.0.1-0ubuntu1
  Candidate: 2.32.0.1-0ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 2.32.0.1-0ubuntu1 0
        500 http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick/main i386 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Expected behaviour: All other applications allow me to scroll by placing my mouse over the scroll bar and then scrolling with the scroll ball.

Actual behaviour: Placing my mouse over the scroll bar and then scrolling does not do anything. To scroll the window, I need to either click and drag or place the cursor in the update window and scroll.

Might this bug be related to the peculiarities of gwibber's discrete-scrolling method? See bug #700322 (not a duplicate, but perhaps both bugs would be easily fixed if gwibber did conventional continuous scrolling).

This is still the case in up-to-date Precise.

In particular, placing the pointer over the overlay scrollbar and using the mousewheel makes the minimalistic orange scrollbar move, but the message pane remains the same. Gwibber should really stop trying to do discrete scrolling, it not only offers an inconsistent user experience, but also violates the behaviour that libraries expect from it.

Resetting to confirmed.
