Description Debarshi Ray 2017-10-20 16:55:03 UTC 
Some time between gtk+ 3.14.x and 3.20.x right-clicking a GtkScrollbar's trough no longer moves the content by a page. Instead it slowly (and smoothly) scrolls.

Wasn't that completely intentional? It's documented here:
https://blog.gtk.org/2017/10/11/a-scrolling-primer/

As of 3.22.25, we can move by pages using middle-click if the GtkSetting primary-button-warps-slider is on, or primary-click if it's off (and middle click to warp).
Comment 2 Daniel Boles 2017-10-21 14:12:17 UTC 
oh, also, Shift+primary click already did the opposite of the configured primary setting

Ah, I see. The wonders of scrolling in gtk+! :)

I had actually asked Carlos about it and he wasn't sure that it was intentional or not, which is why I filed the bug.

Closing as NOTABUG. Sorry for the noise.
