Hi, it seems that comboboxes (and probably some other widgets) are broken on touchscreens. Is there any way to make them work again or to work around bug https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=333470? (Ideally, the bug would be fixed, but since it wasn't fixed the past 10 years, I don't have much hope. What a shame.)
The problem is: There are usually two ways to select an entry in a combobox: 1. Click -> popup opens, click -> select item This doesn't work on touchscreens, since a click on a touchscreen may result in ButtonPress, MotionNotify with the same coordinate as the press, ButtonRelease -- and GTK+ closes the popup as soon as it sees the MotionNotify, even if there was no move after the ButtonPress. [tested on Linux, GTK+3 3.4/3.14, Iiyama touchscreen and Lenovo X200T] 2. Press -> popup opens, move to a item, release This worked on GTK+2, but fails in GTK+3, since on GTK+3 and a touchscreen, the move does not select an item, but tries to scroll the popup. [tested on Linux, GTK+3 3.4/3.14, Iiyama touchscreen; (with Lenovo X200T it worked like in GTK+2)] So, a GTK+3 combobox is *completely unusable* on touchscreens. The only workaround I've found, is to put a transparent button in the same container as the combobox (but "above"), and open the combobox-popup on button-click -- but this seems to be a strange hack. Is there any better way?
