Description Loban Rahman 2001-02-16 06:51:53 UTC 
It would be nice if GtkRange widgets could display a marker showing the
original position of the slider while dragging? The original position would
have a greyed out and lighter marker, or whatever the UI experts consider
right.

(Putting it on the 2.0.0 milestone for the moment, though my
guess is that it won't make it for 2.0.0 if we want to do
this.)

One possible alternative is the Windows/Mac idea of cancellation -
if you drag too far from the range/scrollbar, the thumb
snaps back. I find it a bit annoying, but it is a faster than
having to to align with a ghost image, and fairly standard.

#58389 has a patch for Owens alternative proposal.
