Description Thierry 2014-10-01 14:40:47 UTC 
the folders list and the messages list ignore mouse wheel events if evolution is not focused. 
The message preview window works well.




using evolution 3.12.2 on linux jessie

Thanks for a bug report. I tried to reproduce this, namely with gtk3-3.14.6-1.fc21.x86_64 and I can scroll both the message list and the folder tree when I have focused this window and just hover mouse above those and start scrolling with a mouse wheel.

The folder tree is just a GtkTreeView descendant. Could you try to reproduce this in another application, like a gtk3-demo, please?

The problem happens when the window is NOT focused. 
All X progams I use interprets wheel events even when not focused and that's really usefull.

Yes, I understood that and tested that in that way here.

Does it mean that the gtk3-demo also works as expected?

Might be related to the used WM, see https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=750870
