GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 613631
Spacebar panning skips erratically all over the place.

Hi there. In Linux (specifically, Ubuntu 9.04), I experience erratic behaviour when trying to pan via holding down the spacebar. It doesn't matter whether I have compositing turned on or off. I have tested it in Windows, but I've forgotten the results; sorry! Here's what happens. If I hold down the spacebar and move my mouse down and to the right, for example, it will move a bit, then snap back to the centre and erratically move in the opposite direction from my mouse direction, hopping very small distances each time -- around 50 pixels per skip.
What version of the X.org server is that? What version of GTK+? Did you report this in the Ubuntu bug-tracker already (you should)?
Might be a duplicate of bug #602752.
Looks like this is a dupe. Funny, I searched through all the bugs that mentioned 'pan' before I posted this. Anyway, if you still want my details, they are xorg 1.6.4-2ubuntu4.2, nvidia 173.14.20-0ubuntu5, and libgtk 2.18.3-1ubuntu2.2. So, if someone's already got a bug going in the GNOME tracker, and potential issues are already being discussed there, am I exonerated from having to post a report downstream? :-) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 602752 ***
