I was not trying to assign any blame or credit for the new scrollbars. IIRC I first saw one in a GTK3 application, and I was definitely upset by not having a page up page down function on my mouse. If you have not seen that yet, you eventually will. David Carlson On Tue, Feb 5, 2019 at 3:02 PM C

Re: [GNC] "Non-sticky" scroll bars in gnucash registers

If you are using release 18.04 the default desktop was switched from Unity to Gnome and that Gnome probably uses GTK3 as default rather than GTK2. I think those scroll bars first appeared there but they seem to be becoming as fashionable as useless 'antique' bathroom sinks. David Carlson On Tue,

I'm trying to be nice but you're making it hard. I have never experienced such behavior in Windows or in Linux except with Gnucash. I don't know what you're experiencing but it's not what I am experiencing. Your input is less than helpful here. On 2/5/19 11:43 AM, Bucky Carr wrote: I just

I just tried it with MS Excel (Win10) and it behaves exactly as you describe with your GNUcash-in-Linux experience. So it is not uncommon. But it is annoying. On 2/5/2019 10:38 AM, Steve Cohen wrote: On 2/5/19 11:33 AM, Bucky Carr wrote: Well, I am not using the Windows version and this be

I am not seeing any problems on Ubuntu 18.10 running GC 3.4. Confused by the fact you say you are running 3.900 as I think 3.4 is the latest. Are you running the standard (Gnome) version of Ubuntu? Are you using X or Wayland? That should be selectable from logon screen. I am running X. Colin

[GNC] "Non-sticky" scroll bars in gnucash registers

For two years something seemed not quite right about the use of scroll bars in Gnucash register windows, but I always just "lived with it" in a state of vague , not quite conscious annoyance. I have finally put my finger on the problem. When I click in the scroller and move my mouse, whenever
