Control: retitle -1 Please announce incompatible changes for user key bindings in NEWS.Debian Control: severity -1 minor
I reported the problem upstream and it was due to changes in selectors for widgets, while the documentation is still mentioning the old, no-longer working selectors. The documentation bug has now been fixed upstream and backported to the gtk-3-20 branch for the next release: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=766166 But this change can silently break user configuration. Thus it should be announced in the NEWS.Debian file. It seems that there are two changes: 1. Selectors have changed, which silently break user configuration (no error/warning messages). 2. The property name gtk-key-bindings has also changed to -gtk-key-bindings, but this change may be more noticeable since one gets a warning in the terminal if one uses the old name, e.g.: (firefox:27073): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme parsing error: gtk.css:41:20: The 'gtk-key-bindings' property has been renamed to '-gtk-key-bindings' Now, not all users start applications from a text terminal, so that this change may also remain unnoticed. -- Vincent Lefèvre <[email protected]> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
