Description hamming.dolf 2017-01-27 08:49:28 UTC 
Description of problem:
Using gnumeric on Wayland. Scrolling using touch-pad does not work. Works fine on other applications (not found similar issues on any other application yet since 2 weeks after initial release of F25).
Using the scroll bar works, but does not show where in the window you are (does not move with position, or re-size with area size).
Using a mouse works way better.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Behavior is consistent from initial release of F25 until all of today's updates.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Log into a Wayland session. Start gnumeric with any file and scrolling does not work using touch-pad.
2. Log out. Log into a Xorg session. Start gnumeric with any file and scolling does work using touch-pad.
3. Log out and back into a Wayland session, and scrolling is dis-functional again.
4. Fresh install does not make the issue go away.

Actual results:
Using the touch-pad and two-finger scrolling does not scroll inside the spreadsheet, neither up-down, nor left-right..

Expected results:
Using the touch-pad and two-finger scrolling scrolls inside the spreadsheet, both up-down and left-right.

Additional info:
Hardware: Thinkpad TP440s, i5, 8GB, 128SSD.
OS: Fedora 25 clean install
Applications (besides std install): gnome-tweak-tool, latex, ImageMagick, gnumeric, pdf shuffler, gnu-cash, gimp, geeqie, inkscape, keepassx, rawtherapee, nautilus open terminal here, cloudstation, xournal, tlp, Chromium, Solitaire, Latexila, Power statistics, VLC, Web/ Epiphany, Firewalld
Comment 1 Fedora End Of Life 2017-02-28 11:06:37 UTC 
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 26 development cycle.
Changing version to '26'.
Comment 2 Andrew Overholt 2017-03-15 15:08:28 UTC 
Is there some workaround here? Having to revert to X is rather unfortunate.
Comment 3 Alexander Mikhaylenko 2017-06-09 09:19:53 UTC 
Same problem in Inkscape since 0.92.1-4.20170510bzr15686.fc25.x86_64.

Andrew Overholt: it's possible to launch a GTK3 application through XWayland by setting GDK_BACKEND to x11. Like this:
GDK_BACKEND=x11 gnumeric
Comment 4 Fedora End Of Life 2018-05-03 08:06:43 UTC 
This message is a reminder that Fedora 26 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 26. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '26'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version'
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not
able to fix it before Fedora 26 is end of life. If you would still like
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.
Comment 5 Andrew Overholt 2018-05-04 13:44:59 UTC 
This is still an issue in Fedora 27, FWIW.
Comment 6 Fedora End Of Life 2018-05-29 11:20:42 UTC 
Fedora 26 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2018-05-29. Fedora 26
is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any
further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.

Comment 9 Adam Jackson 2019-09-26 15:17:51 UTC 
This would be a bug in gnome-shell if anything, the "wayland" package contains only the core libraries and protocol, it doesn't implement scrolling itself. Reassigning.
