Package: chromium Version: 46.0.2490.71-1~deb8u1unix Severity: normal Tags: upstream
Dear Maintainer, Upstream chromium broke the scroll bar behavior, move a few pixels away from the scroll bar and it jumps back someplace else, this is so annoying I had to make a patch to continue to use the browser. Reported bug upstream, but they seem to be hostile/don't care about how broken this leaves chromium or how it doesn't match how any other X11 platform scroll bars I've ever used work. Suggestions? Seems like something that should be at least a setting, or in the theme, or something so Google/chrome doesn't drive Unix users away. https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=567968 >From 1c2da7540a6840234ed10b99ca04581c8ff9389b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Fries <da...@fries.net> Date: Sat, 5 Dec 2015 15:15:15 -0600 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Conform to platform expectations, no snapback on Linux Besides it's ultra annoying. --- content/renderer/webscrollbarbehavior_impl_gtkoraura.cc | 9 +++++++++ 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+) diff --git a/content/renderer/webscrollbarbehavior_impl_gtkoraura.cc b/content/renderer/webscrollbarbehavior_impl_gtkoraura.cc index 8dfa998..179d17f 100644 --- a/content/renderer/webscrollbarbehavior_impl_gtkoraura.cc +++ b/content/renderer/webscrollbarbehavior_impl_gtkoraura.cc @@ -25,6 +25,15 @@ bool WebScrollbarBehaviorImpl::shouldSnapBackToDragOrigin( const blink::WebPoint& eventPoint, const blink::WebRect& scrollbarRect, bool isHorizontal) { + +// no snapback at all, this is the expected behavior for everything, otherwise +// you can't use your mouse to point out things in the center of the +// document while scrolling, use escape to snap back (apparently someone +// disabled escape) +#if defined(OS_LINUX) + return false; +#endif + // Constants used to figure the drag rect outside which we should snap the // scrollbar thumb back to its origin.
