Gedit fails to scroll properly when PgDn/PgUp held down
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
Package: gedit Severity: normal Version: 2.0.2 Synopsis: Gedit fails to scroll properly when PgDn/PgUp held down Bugzilla-Product: gedit Bugzilla-Component: general Description: Description of Problem: Gedit will scroll properly if PgDn or PgUp is pressed repeatedly, scrolling in the usual way for each keypress. However, when these keys are *held down* in order to effectively scroll continuously, Gedit gets stuck somewhere in the middle and the scrollbar bounces up and down in a small area, effectively going nowhere. Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. open a file in gedit 2. press PgDn repeatedly to scroll to the bottom of the document a page at a time 3. press PgUp and hold it down, to scroll continuously to the top Actual Results: gedit gets stuck about halfway back to the top Expected Results: smooth scrolling back to the top How often does this happen? Every time.

I can confirm the bug in RH8 with the gedit when you want to scroll smoothly with PgUp it stuck not even in the middle of the documents but in the very start of the scrolling
This bug is due to a GtkTextView bug that, IIRC, has been fixe in gtk+ 2.2. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 78513 ***
