GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 672312
When scrolling through thumbnails with mousewheel, eog crashes
Last modified: 2012-03-18 17:45:10 UTC
When scrolling with arrow buttons or the scrollbar, there is no crash. Using the mousewheel to scroll, however, results in an instant crash with the following error: EOG:ERROR:eog-thumb-nav.c:87:eog_thumb_nav_scroll_event: code should not be reached GTK 3.3.18 Eye of GNOME 3.3.91
Works as it should here, but I have an idea what this could be (which would not be good). Can you please attach the output of "X -version" ? Can you also test if the mousewheel works as it should in other parts of eog (e.g. image area, sidebar)?
Could just produce it myself with Fedora 17 Alpha. The key is X 1.12 coupled with GTK-3.3.18's smooth scrolling support. This seems to cause smooths scroll events instead of the usual scroll events. Raising priority as we expect X 1.12 on user machines.
Not sure what touch devices say to this, but as the code in EogThumbNav was only used to make vertical mousewheels horizontal I'd say they should work. commit 22618a75bcf2a754f5fbe48b2d49c27b5e66ecd5 Author: Felix Riemann <> Date: Sun Mar 18 18:28:57 2012 +0100 EogThumbNav: Fix mousewheel scrolling with gtk-3.3.18 and xserver-1.12 Handle incoming smooth scroll events that are oviously caused by the scrollwheel just like legacy scroll events. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=672312 --- This problem has been fixed in the development version.
