I (John) made dragging icons readjust the scroll area to fix the bug where 
when they're dropped outside of the current maximum scroll area the 
scroll bars readjust and you can't scroll to them. But this had an 
undesired effect that Arlo and I were looking at -- if you drag icons that 
happened to be the topmost (or leftmost/bottommost/rightmost) and leave 
them in the middle somewhere, the window scrolls because the scroll 
area becomes smaller and the vanished space scrolls away. This is 
disconcerting and weird. The rule should probably be that we make the 
scroll area bigger if necessary in this case, but we never make it smaller.

Adjusting the scroll area right away is fine. The problem is that we don't want
immediate scrolling caused. One way to avoid this is to always include the
current scroll position in the scroll area, but then we have to recompute the
scroll region every time we scroll just in case. So it's not 100% obvious how to
fix this just right.

Andy says this is now behaving worse than it was in PR1 and suggests that we fix
it right away.

When a user drags icon(s), only those icons should end up in a new
location on the screen. We should fix for PR2.

OK, the most annoying form of this bug has now been fixed. There are several
related issues that aren't fixed though, including bug 43402, bug 43404, bug 43405,
and bug 43406.

verified as fixed using 200010181508 rpm's.  Only the dragged icons end up in
new location on screen.

It's doing it again.

Reopening per Darin's request.

This happens again for me too. I wonder who broke it this time?



------- Additional Comments From darin@bentspoon.com 2000-12-29 17:39:24 ----

The reappearance of this bug likely caused bug 44116 to reappear as well. (John, maybe 
you can take that one from Gene?)

Darin, bug 44116 seems unrelated. Did you type the wrong number?



------- Additional Comments From darin@bentspoon.com 2001-01-02 09:21:59 ----

Right you are! I meant bug 44166.



------- Additional Comments From sullivan@eazel.com 2001-01-08 11:08:43 ----

I figured out what reintroduced this bug, and after talking to Darin we have an
approach for fixing it:  save the scroll origin per-directory in metadata, and
use it when loading a directory.

I've played with this bug, and I can't produce any scrolling as a result of
dragging corner icons.  However, the only way to reduce the size of the scroll
area is to perform any window resize.  Even if I drop icons and scroll so they
are all visible, the scroll area doesn't shrink.

Is that the expected result?



------- Additional Comments From sullivan@eazel.com 2001-01-15 17:59:51 ----

The behavior brett reports is a related and much less annoying bug. I 
don't think it's written up, but it shouldn't be considered part of this bug. 
Please write it up separately.

Verifying original bug.  Will fork off the related problem into a new bug
tomorrow (going home now).

Opened bug #45691 about the problem mentioned in my comments on 01/15.
