The drop down menus in the font pref panel don't scroll.

Toreproduce:
1. Open font prefs panel
2. Click on one of the font face select widgets
3. Click in scrollbar

Actual result: nothing happens
Expected result: font list should scroll

Linux build 2000.02.02.09

First thought this was just a problem with the length of the selection list and
thus a widget problem.  But I tested it with an HTML select field with about
2000 options, and it worked fine (if slowly).
Bulk move of all Pref UI component bugs to new Preferences component.  Pref UI 
component will be deleted.

Can't use font prefs without this.

Thanks for pointing me to the right bug, Zach (it didn't show up in the bugzilla
list of Preferences bugs, and I don't know why). This is a real pain for playing
around with prefs, as I'm sure nobody wants font adjustment in the beta release
to require manual prefs file editing (as it does currently for me).
is this still a problem for you? perhaps it because i don't have enough fonts
installed on either my linux or winNT box, but i don't even see scrollbars on
the font droplists... (i do see the scrollbars on the font lists on my mac, and
they do scroll.) tested with opt comm bits, 2000022808.

Yes, still broken on 2000.02.27.09.

When the select menu drops down, I can only select the fonts displayed.
Clicking in the scroll bar doesn't have an effect.
This happens for any select in the preferences.
Happens on search also.
Looks like the scroll bar is there since
it is dynamically built.  Otherwise i'm not sure how
you can get a scrollbar on a drop down list.

Summary: Font face selection in font prefs doesn't scroll → select in prefs doesn't scroll
marking PDT+, on the proviso that it's fixed by 3/3.

waqar, isn't this the same bug as last week?

*** Bug 29223 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
After talking to pavlov, we came to the conclusion that to fix this would
require lots of rewriting of GTK code, and I would be fixed by rod's gfx scroll
for select.
Depends on: 18895
This bug depends on 18895... but that bug is NOT marked PDT+
The last comment acts like this bug is "waiting" for that checkin :-/.
I'm going to remove the PDT+ marking on this, and let the PDT either mark both
bugs as PDT+, or get this one off the radar.
Please correct me if I misunderstood.
Thanks,
Jim

I'm curious about this bug.  I'm going to take a look at it.  It sounds like a
grab problem to me.

I know what's causing this and I've been working on a patch.  It's a kinda
complicated event problem.

However, I don't want to waste my time on this since it's been PDT-'ed.
This should be a PDT+ bug....

Fix checked in.  I rewrote the superwin event filter to handle grabs better. 
That code was a sewer and needed to be rewritten and documented anyway.

Is this in the nightly builds yet? Still doesn't work. Tested with 2000031806
(nb1b) and 2000031808
You can now select fonts, but build 2000.03.18.08 still does not scroll the font
list.  This might not be as resolved as it appears.
Maybe I don't have enough fonts installed.  I don't have a scrollbar in my font
list.
Ok, I installed enough fonts on my system to get the scrollbar and I see the
problem now.  Re-opening to fix it.

Another day, another patch.

This should fix the problem where there's a GtkWidget ( i.e. a scrollbar ) on a
GdkWindow that has had gdk_pointer_grab() called on it.

Looking for a review.  Pav?  It's easy, it's well commented.
Status: REOPENED → ASSIGNED
pavlov has reviewed.
The GtkWidget (ie. scrollbar) should also capture the up/down arrow keys,
pgup/pgdn, etc, appropriately, which it does not right now, as pressing those
keys goes to the next/previous option-set, and consequently crashes the browser.
Checked in.

*** Bug 32827 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
This is marked fixed, but it is demonstrably broken in Build 2000032305
i686-pc-linux-gnu.  Scrollbars on pref combo boxes do not respond to mouse
input.  The lists themselves will drag-scroll down but will not to the same in
the other direction.  I recommend reopening this bug, unless it simply hasn't
propogated to nightlies yet.
The only place that I've got a scrollbar in the prefs dialog is on the fonts

selection and it works fine here.  Are you seeing it somewhere else?

Sorry -- should have commented quickly earlier ... this is in the trunk, but 
not the beta1 branch. The build that jwbaker is using is a beta1 build.

This works correctly for me on linux for the trunk build for today (2000032309)

There is a problem with responding to key events (including a crash), but given:
1) the native scrollbar is due to go away
2) the exact response to what the scrollbar should do on certain keystrokes
   is unclear to me (I was looking at what it does for various situations on
   motif and gtk and it seems app-dependent -- I need to look at this some    
more).
3) the crash looks only semi-related to how the scrollbar behaves (it looks
   like the key event bubbles up, and it's the left-hand panel that gets the
   event and crashes)
then I'll marked this as verified for the original bug report, and open a 
couple of other bugs -- one for the key event handling, and another for the 
crash.

Thanks.  When you open that bug, assign it to me.
Yep definitely fixed on the trunk.  Sorry for the confusion, I don't usually use
the nb1b builds.
well...no rest for the vicked. There IS still a problem - somewhere. For one,
the scrollbar widgets in prefs respond slow - initially. Like there are double
up of them - one set that doesn't work - then one that does, when it gets to
think about it. Once it responds, it's quick enough.

But after the first checking (gtk widget rewrite) that didn't fix the frozen
scrollbar after all, a series of messages started to appear in the first nightly
build published.
Looks like this whenever a page with forms is loaded:
-------------- #1 Bailing on aCachedAvailableSize.height -1 != kSizeNotSet
-------------- #1 Bailing on aCachedAvailableSize.height -1 != kSizeNotSet
-------------- #2.2 Bailing on width 1905 <= aCachedAvailableSize.width 1905
-------------- #1 Bailing on aCachedAvailableSize.height -1 != kSizeNotSet
-------------- #2.2 Bailing on width 1905 <= aCachedAvailableSize.width 1905
-------------- #1 Bailing on aCachedAvailableSize.height -1 != kSizeNotSet
-------------- #2.2 Bailing on width 1635 <= aCachedAvailableSize.width 1635

-------------- #1 Bailing on aCachedAvailableSize.height -1 != kSizeNotSet
-------------- #1 Bailing on aCachedAvailableSize.height -1 != kSizeNotSet
and so forth - page up and page down in console.

Now: after the second - superwin fix - was checked in - i today had a crash.
I had two browser windows open, closed one and clicked a "back" in the other -
and voila:

These things are related. It's the first time i managed to achieve a crash
though so the risk is minimal - but something is rotten in the state of
scrollbars. There's a chance the fix needs a fix.

Please ignore the spam.  Changing address.

remarking FIXED.

dark@c2i.net : if you are still having the other problems you noted with 
scrollbars, please file a new bug (limit of one defect per bug report :-])
By the way, the "Bailing ..." messages are actually good news (avoiding 
unnecessary work).
