Description Ritesh Raj Sarraf 2016-09-22 10:19:53 UTC 
It seems like, with 3.22, the Evolution shortcuts to navigate (Scroll Up and Down) in an email have broken.

When hitting the spacebar in a message view, instead of scrolling through the message, it moves to the next message. The same applies to Backspace too.


On running from the terminal, I could only get the following messages:


rrs@learner:~$ evolution

Thanks for a bug report. It's correct, because WebKit2 doesn't provide any API to figure out the scroll position [1], thus the evolution cannot auto-scroll. At least not in a way it used to do it.

I made this working again with Michaels help from the upstream bug report (see comment #1) with this:

Created commit 06dc346 in evo master (3.23.2+)
Created commit b50fa28 in evo gnome-3-22 (3.22.2+)
