Mouse wheel scrolling w/GTK & 3.1? [message #109594] Fri, 14 October 2005 17:35 Go to next message

I've been using Eclipse 3.1 on Windows with no problem. I'm trying it
on Mandrake Linux 10.1 (Linux-GTK 3.1.0 release, via XOrg 6.7.0 to
Hummingbird Exceed 10), and the scroll wheel scrolls 4 lines at a time.
I'd like to set it to page-at-a-time. I do have Exceed configured to
send wheel movement as buttons 4 & 5.

Apparently, some changes were made in 3.1 to deal with scroll events
directly from GTK+. Is there some way to change the default scroll
type, either in .gtkrc or somewhere in Eclipse's config files?

The speed at which the mouse wheel scrolls is hardcoded in GTK+. It
actually changed between GTK+ 2.2 and 2.4, it used to be about half a
page, now it's pow(page_size, 2/3).

If you think it should change again, or be configurable, I would
recommend filing a bug against GTK+ at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/
