Title:
scroll wheel in gedit is affected by scrolling in other windows
Status in “gedit” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
When I am scrolling in a document, then switch to another application
(say chrome) and scroll with the scroll wheel there, then switch back
to gedit, the next click of the scroll wheel will scroll many more
lines instead of the usual amount. It seems to be proportional to the
amount I scrolled in the other application.
For example, In a document with line 202 as the last line in view, a
normal one tick of the scroll wheel down brings me to line 207 (5
lines). If instead, I start on line 202 as before, but switch to
chrome where I scroll down one tick of the wheel, then switch back to
gedit and scroll down one tick, I am now at line 212 on the bottom (10
lines). So it seems that the gedit is affected by scrolling in other
apps. The problem is particularly noticeable if I scroll a lot in
another window, where when I return to gedit, it often scrolls down
(or up) many pages, often to the top or bottom of the document,
completely disorienting me as the line I was just looking at is
nowhere is sight. It seems gedit is probably keeping track of the
absolute scroll wheel position? So when I switch applications and come
back, the number is way different and it scrolls many more ticks than
it should?
Thanks,
Eric Seifert
