docs/running: Document the GTK_OVERLAY_SCROLLING env var (1.20 KB, patch)
2017-08-22 13:28 UTC, Daniel Boles 		committed Details | Review

Description Daniel Boles 2017-08-19 20:38:49 UTC 
This is currently undocumented. That seems wrong in itself. In addition, having this information be available in our documentation, instead of requiring people to piece it together from third-party sources, might reduce the chance of getting additional bug reports complaining about overlay scrolling or asking for ways to turn it off (which this is).

I will say that not all environment variables are created equal.
I would hope that we nuke this one for gtk4
Comment 3 Daniel Boles 2018-04-22 15:14:32 UTC 
It's gone in master, and I just pushed this amended patch to gtk-3-22:
