 Posted: Wed Jun 25, 2014 10:57 am Post subject: Disable GTK+ scrollbar zoom mode |
 |
|
GTK+ has this new feature called zoom mode. When you click-and-hold or long press on the slider it will put the scrollbar into zoom mode. Then the scrollbar moves very slowly. Only half the speed of the cursor. This feature really annoyed me and everybody told me it is impossible to disable it. So i figured out how to disable it on gentoo and thought i should share the solution.
Create patch to increase the GTK+ zoom mode delay:
/etc/portage/patches/x11-libs/gtk+-3.12.2/gtk+-3.12.2-zoom-mode-delay.patch
| Code: | diff -upr gtk-upstream/gtk/gtkrange.c gtk+-3.12.2/gtk/gtkrange.c
--- gtk-upstream/gtk/gtkrange.c 2014-06-24 20:55:54.429790047 +0300
+++ gtk+-3.12.2/gtk/gtkrange.c 2014-06-24 20:56:40.589789587 +0300

#define UPDATE_DELAY 300 /* Delay for queued update */

-#define ZOOM_HOLD_TIME 500
+#define ZOOM_HOLD_TIME 10000
#define AUTOSCROLL_FACTOR 20
#define SCROLL_EDGE_SIZE 15 |
Set portage to call epatch_user() for all ebuilds:
/etc/portage/bashrc
| Code: | post_src_unpack() {
if type epatch_user &> /dev/null ; then
if [[ -d ${S} ]]; then
pushd "${S}" 2>/dev/null
epatch_user
popd 2>/dev/null
else
epatch_user
fi
fi
} |
Rebuild GTK+:
# emerge -1 gtk+

Thanks for the fix.
That "zoom mode" was the second most annoying in-ya-face-cant-be-turned-off "feature" i stumbled on. |

Yes it was annoying. I'm glad it helped.
