Could we please get a feature freeze exception for this in gtk3? This would unify slider behavior again and we could get rid of the ugly "act-as-if-middle-button-was-pressed" hacks in IDO and gnome-control- center.
I've submitted the patch upstream at https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=563688. GNOME designers support the change, so it has good chances of being accepted. The package with my patch builds and works as expected. I've been running it for a bit on my system and tested every slider I could find, in particular all default applications. ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #563688 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=563688 ** Changed in: gtk+3.0 (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => In Progress -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/953757 Title: Inconsistent behavior of slider widgets To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/953757/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
