I know what this it: the gtk frontend fires the "scrolling" signal when setting the scrollbar parameters from inside LyX: the kernel expects that setting the parameters only changes the scrollbar visually (and invokes no scrolling). This results in an infinite loop. There was a similar problem in the qt frontend, that was solved by deactivating the signal somewhere IIRC. Unfortunately I cannot look at the problem more closely ATM. <useless rant> OTOH the requirement to have bleeding edge gtkmm libs just to be able to compile it doesn't make the work easy for us to keep up... </useless rant> > I'm hoping that my sense of humour will improve when I've had some > sleep.
