Unfortunately, I don't think there will be significant progress on my side, as both LO and GTK are quite large projects. Way too large to play with only on freetime, and I believe the main issues lies between their interactions, without one being 100% at fault. I could do this little experiment only because support for it was available (LO using GTK3, and GTK3 providing the broadway backend), only a recompile away. Diving into the codebase would be time consumming. For information, building LO from scratch took roughly 90 minutes using 3 cores to improve build time on a recent system (but one must keep in mind that following builds are faster, since they take advantage of what didn't changes in between). Building a more recent GTK however brought some improvements, the most noticeable one is the scrolling that works. Although I know some alternative that can roughly provide the same level of functionnalities, I kinda hope that developpers will have time to sort this out, as it can always come in handy. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
