ScrollBar getThumb() inconsistencies between Linux and Windows [message #455484] Mon, 16 May 2005 21:49 Go to next message

Running the following snippet shows different behavior on Windows on Linux
OS. On Windows XP, the ScrollBar.getThumb() returns the number of lines in
the table in the viewport. On Linux (SuSE 9.2 prof), the same call seems to
returns the number of pixels visible for a table.

Also the Scrollbar events on Linux always shows a value of 0 for
event.details, while on Windows, the event details reflects the user action
(click on arrow, click for page up/down or drag event). I saw an earlier
posting from a year ago saying this was a bug in GTK. Any progress on that
issue? (See below for previous thread discussion)

Sorry, GTK just doesn't provide the information. We have a bugzilla report
open against them and they said they will be fixing it.

The operating system scrolling policy can be different between platforms.
On Windows it uses lines, on GTK pixels. What are you trying to do?
