I'm a newbie to Linux but I really can't understand how come only in
Eclipse (I'm using 3.0) the mouse wheel scrolls a whole page instead of 3
lines as configured in my OS.
Couldn't find any bugs or postings in the matter. Any help what so ever in
the matter will be a great help.

I'm using Eclipse 3.0, Linux Redhat 9 with KDE.

thanks.

Please log a bug report with Platform - SWT and give some examples of
editors that scroll too much for you.

Thanks,
Grant

I had the same problem with fedora core 1 - I upgraded to fedora core 2
and it disappeared. I think it was a failing of the version of
gtk/gnome in fedora core 1 - the newer gtk in core 2 fixed it, so if you
don't want to upgrade your OS, upgrading your gtk/gnome should fix
it for you.

Sounds like eclipse is picking up your gtk settings which are different
than your KDE settings.

This is the built-in behaviour of GTK+. I do not believe that it can be
modified. Check the source code for GTK+. I particular, how individual
widgets respond to the GdkEventScroll event.

cheers,
