GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 348590
clicking on time slider behavior
Last modified: 2015-06-18 11:17:57 UTC
When one clicks on the time slider the current behavior is to move in an increment forward or backward if the click was left or right of the handle respectively. I think it might be better to simply set the new position to the point of the click. It makes better use of our spatial resolution and makes it much faster to use. Use case: Position half way through a song Now: Click and drag handle half way across the slider or Click a few times on the right of the handle Future: Click once half way across slider
Same problem in Totem, and possibly a lot of the media players.

We could do this just by setting event->button = 2 in slider_press_callback and slider_release_callback; it's an awful hack and it breaks consistency, though.
