Description Volker Sobek (weld) 2012-04-18 22:10:19 UTC 
In particular, scrolling over the playlist scrolls the playlist AND changes the video position.

This does not happen with all input devices that can scroll. In my case trackpoint scrolling over the playlist correctly scrolls only the playlist, while mouse and touchpad scroll the playlist and the video at the same time.

I can't reproduce here. Which version of GTK+ are you using? Which device do you use to scroll over the playlist? I use a mouse with a scroll wheel and it works as expected.
Comment 2 Volker Sobek (weld) 2012-04-19 21:34:21 UTC 
gtk3-3.4.1-1.fc17.x86_64
totem-3.4.0-1.fc17.x86_64

Actually touchpad scrolling and mouse scrolling anywhere in totem (sidebar/menu bar/status bar/... change the video position. Scrolling over the volume button changes only the volume though.

I can confirm this with fedora 17 beta on another laptop (also for touchpad and usb mouse scrolling).

The only device that scrolls only the playlist when scrolling over it is the trackpoint (but only when the playlist has a scrollbar, if it doesn't it also changes the video position). Configured like this:

Reproduced with the touchpad on my MacBook Air.

I just noticed this as well when using the mouse wheel to scroll the playlist, even when the pointer is directly on a scrollbar.  I'm on Ubuntu 12.04, which still uses totem 3.0.1.

Fixed in gnome-3-4 and master.

    main: Handle smooth scroll events
    
    And restrict ourselves to handling smooth events on the left side
    of the pane, stopping us from capturing scroll events meant for scroll
    window, such as the playlist.
