** Description changed: + SRU Justification: + ================== + [Impact] + Gesture support in applications currently requires a tradeoff when dealing with two touch scrolling on trackpads. There may be users who would prefer to operate evince without gesture support. Currently, --disable-gestures/-g does not work. + + [Development Fix] + The bug has been fixed in the development branch by modifying the libgrip gestures distro patch. Version 3.2.1-0ubuntu2 released in precise has the fix. + + [Stable Fix] + See http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-desktop/evince/ubuntu/revision/133. + + [Test Case] + Run evince at the console. The warning about the "enable-gestures" property will show. Run with --disable-gestures and the warning will still appear, and gestures will still be enabled. The list of evince gestures are: two touch pinch to zoom and rotate on touchpads and touchscreens, and two touch drag to scroll on touchscreens. Note this only works with multitouch gesture capable hardware, such as Macbook trackpads and Magic Trackpads + + [Regression Potential] + Minimal. The patch is extremely straightforward. The enable-gestures property is now checked before registering for gestures, and the unnecessary G_PARAM_CONSTRUCTION_ONLY flag on the property has been removed. + + Original bug report: + ==================== The --disable-gestures flag does not work due to two issues: 1. The enable-gestures gobject class property of the EvView object is created with the G_PARAM_CONSTRUCT_ONLY flag. 2. The property value is not checked before registering for gestures. The first issue causes the following warning in the console: (evince:23456): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: g_object_set_valist: construct property "enable-gestures" for object `EvView' can't be set after construction ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.10 Package: evince 3.2.0-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.0.0-12.20-generic 3.0.4 Uname: Linux 3.0.0-12-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 1.23-0ubuntu3 Architecture: amd64 Date: Fri Oct 14 02:10:49 2011 ExecutablePath: /usr/bin/evince InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 11.04 "Natty Narwhal" - Release amd64 (20110427.1) ProcEnviron: SHELL=/bin/bash PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=en_CA.UTF-8 LANGUAGE=en_CA:en SourcePackage: evince UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to oneiric on 2011-10-13 (0 days ago)
