When I am scrolling in a document, then switch to another application
(say chrome) and scroll with the scroll wheel there, then switch back to
gedit, the next click of the scroll wheel will scroll many more lines
instead of the usual amount. It seems to be proportional to the amount I
scrolled in the other application.
For example, In a document with line 202 as the last line in view, a
normal one tick of the scroll wheel down brings me to line 207 (5
lines). If instead, I start on line 202 as before, but switch to chrome
where I scroll down one tick of the wheel, then switch back to gedit and
scroll down one tick, I am now at line 212 on the bottom (10 lines). So
it seems that the gedit is affected by scrolling in other apps. The
problem is particularly noticeable if I scroll a lot in another window,
where when I return to gedit, it often scrolls down (or up) many pages,
often to the top or bottom of the document, completely disorienting me
as the line I was just looking at is nowhere is sight. It seems gedit is
probably keeping track of the absolute scroll wheel position? So when I
switch applications and come back, the number is way different and it
scrolls many more ticks than it should?
Thanks,
Eric Seifert
