GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 774633
Combo box does not display arrows for scrolling under Wayland

Created attachment 340168 [details] Evolution even editor under Wayland Combo boxes in GTK with a large number of options to choose from do not display arrows for scrolling when the list flows past the screen when using the Wayland backend. When using the X11 backend this problem is not present. I have tested this with both Evolution mail's add appointment button as well as with a toy application I wrote. Based on my tests, it appears that under weyland the list simply extends 'past the bottom' of the screen. I am able to 'scroll' and select entries 'past my screen' with the arrow keys and select them with the return key. I have attached screenshots of Evolution and my toy application under both X and Wayland.

I changing this to critical because it is seriously affecting my ability to perform tasks across the whole suite of GTK applications on my PC.
I think this is the same as bug 771297 which will be available in mutter-3.22.3.
So, was this fixed? Please confirm. (I can't immediately test Wayland and may forget by the time I can.)

Thanks! It definitely seems like it was the same as this one:
