Description andré blais 2021-02-14 04:45:48 CET

Description of problem:

The current version of Gtk-3.0 is 3.24.8

The option to suppress the disappearing scroll bars started in version 3.24.9

Currently running an application in console gives the messages :

Gtk-WARNING **: 21:34:35.406: Unknown key gtk-overlay-scrolling in /etc/gtk-3.0/settings.ini

 and
Gtk-WARNING **: 21:34:35.406: Unknown key gtk-overlay-scrolling in /home/andr/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini

So any newer version of gtk-3.0 will allow using the option to suppress disappearing scroll bars.

How reproducible:
Always

Comment 1 Thomas Backlund 2021-02-14 16:06:28 CET

we prefer to not bump gtk versions in stable releases as some of the changes can cause problematic fallout for some gtk apps

So I've backported those changes in gtk+3.0-3.24.8-1.1.mga7



SRPM:
gtk+3.0-3.24.8-1.1.mga7.src.rpm

i586:
gtk+3.0-3.24.8-1.1.mga7.i586.rpm
gtk-update-icon-cache-3.24.8-1.1.mga7.i586.rpm

libgail3.0-devel-3.24.8-1.1.mga7.i586.rpm
libgtk+3_0-3.24.8-1.1.mga7.i586.rpm
libgtk+3.0-devel-3.24.8-1.1.mga7.i586.rpm
libgtk-gir3.0-3.24.8-1.1.mga7.i586.rpm

x86_64:
gtk+3.0-3.24.8-1.1.mga7.x86_64.rpm

Comment 4 Thomas Backlund 2021-02-15 07:58:44 CET

@andre, did you test i586 or x86_64 ?



Advisory,
----------
Updated gtk+3.0 adds support for disabling overlay scrollbars

This update adds an config option gtk-overlay-scrolling that
allows the user to opt out of overlay scrollbars since they
sometimes end up hiding text or does not show up at all.

references:
https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28357
https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28248
-----------

for testers, 
this fix is a workaround for the rpmdrake issue in bug 28248

Comment 5 andré blais 2021-02-15 09:09:23 CET

@Thomas, I only tested x86_64.
Thanks again

Note it only helps bug 28248 if the user doesn't want overlay scroll bars, and has set gtk-overlay-scrolling=0.

If the user hasn't done that, they will still need the solution suggested in bug 28248.

Comment 6 Dave Hodgins 2021-02-15 09:48:40 CET

Confirmed fixed with
export GTK_OVERLAY_SCROLLING=0 gedit textfilelongerthandialogwindow.txt
Oking and validating the update.
