Description Mathias Brodala 2010-04-28 17:21:06 UTC 
Dragging items down a long list within a TreeView can be very time consuming. Currently the speed by which GTK scrolls during drags is constant and way to low for this use case.

Thus GTK’s scrolling speed should increase the farther one moves the cursor away from the relative drag origin. This allows for very fine grained scrolling by only slightly moving the item away from the origin as well as reaching the top or bottom of a list quickly.

In case my explanation isn’t clear just think of the way modern browsers behave if you middle click to initiate scrolling.

We're moving to gitlab! As part of this move, we are moving bugs to NEEDINFO if they haven't seen activity in more than a year. If this issue is still important to you and still relevant with GTK+ 3.22 or master, please reopen it and we will migrate it to gitlab.

As announced a while ago, we are migrating to gitlab, and bugs that haven't seen activity in the last year or so will be not be migrated, but closed out in bugzilla.

If this bug is still relevant to you, you can open a new issue describing the symptoms and how to reproduce it with gtk 3.22.x or master in gitlab:
