smooth auto scrolling patch (18.81 KB, patch)

Description Havoc Pennington 2000-12-21 17:29:07 UTC 
Scrolling in the text widget is not very nice feeling; also, there are two
pieces of scroll code, one while doing drag-and-drop and one while
selecting. Need to clean up/unify the scroll code, and make it work nicely.
Comment 1 Havoc Pennington 2001-01-29 19:40:24 UTC 
Put all GTK 1.3.x bugs on 2.0.0 milestone
Comment 2 Havoc Pennington 2001-12-31 16:51:32 UTC 
No must-fix bug here. Can fix sometime.

smooth auto scrolling patch

The patch adds accelerated smooth auto scrolling support for 
text selection and drag and drop.

I thought this needed to be looked at, so I went ahead and 
put together something usable. I'm no usability expert, though,
so someone who is should review this. Someone (with more
knowledge than me) should also review the technical stuff, as 
it's likely not without quirks... I'll be happy to improve
this as needed.

Wouldn't this be a duplicate of bug 103811 (or vice versa)?
Comment 6 Björn Lindqvist 2008-03-28 13:16:22 UTC 
Bug 103811 implements smooth scrolling for all widgets using GtkAdjustments. This patch makes the GtkTextView scroll in a custom way, without using the adjustments. I think the right way is to first implement 103811, then smooth scrolling the textview becomes as simple as gtk_adjustment_step_down (text_view->vadjustment).
Comment 7 Matthias Clasen 2014-07-10 03:03:14 UTC 
I think this has been somewhat addressed now, with smooth and animated scrolling
