Title:
--disable-gestures does not work
Status in “evince” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Committed
Status in “evince” source package in Oneiric:
Fix Committed
Bug description:
SRU Justification:
==================
[Impact]
Gesture support in applications currently requires a tradeoff when dealing
with two touch scrolling on trackpads. There may be users who would prefer to
operate evince without gesture support. Currently, --disable-gestures/-g does
not work.
[Development Fix]
The bug has been fixed in the development branch by modifying the libgrip
gestures distro patch. Version 3.2.1-0ubuntu2 released in precise has the fix.
[Stable Fix]
See http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-desktop/evince/ubuntu/revision/133.
[Test Case]
Run evince at the console. The warning about the "enable-gestures" property
will show. Run with --disable-gestures and the warning will still appear, and
gestures will still be enabled. The list of evince gestures are: two touch
pinch to zoom and rotate on touchpads and touchscreens, and two touch drag to
scroll on touchscreens. Note this only works with multitouch gesture capable
hardware, such as Macbook trackpads and Magic Trackpads
[Regression Potential]
Minimal. The patch is extremely straightforward. The enable-gestures property
is now checked before registering for gestures, and the unnecessary
G_PARAM_CONSTRUCTION_ONLY flag on the property has been removed.
Original bug report:
====================
The --disable-gestures flag does not work due to two issues:
1. The enable-gestures gobject class property of the EvView object is created
with the G_PARAM_CONSTRUCT_ONLY flag.
2. The property value is not checked before registering for gestures.
The first issue causes the following warning in the console:
(evince:23456): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: g_object_set_valist:
construct property "enable-gestures" for object `EvView' can't be set
after construction
