Description Felix Braun 2006-03-20 03:21:34 UTC
Please describe the problem:
The scrollbar that is attached to the list of available mails can not be
dragged to adjust which messages are displayed. Pressing the scroll buttons either end of this scrollbar also has no effect.

Workaround is to use cursor keys to navigate the list of available mails.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Start evolution
2. select a folder which has more mails than can be displayed in the mail list
view
3. try to scroll using the scollbar

Actual results:
nothing

Expected results:
listview gets adjusted according to scrollbar

Does this happen every time?
yes, reproducible every time

Comment 1 Guillaume Maury 2006-04-27 00:06:23 UTC
I have exactly the same problem with evolution 2.6.0-r1

I emerged gnome 2.14.0 and gtk+ 2.8.16

The bugs happens when running evolution on gnome and when using it under fvwm with or without gnome-settings-daemon launched

Comment 2 Felix Braun 2006-04-27 22:56:43 UTC
I normally compile everything with these flags using GCC 3.4.6 (Gentoo
3.4.6-r1):
-Os -fweb -frename-registers -fomit-frame-pointer -march=pentium-m

Re-compiling only glib(!)version 2.10.2 without -fomit-frame-pointer fixes this
bug for me. Can any of the other people experiencing this confirm? So this is
probably either a bug in GCC or in glib. I'll rephrase the summary accordingly.
Maybe -fomit-frame-pointer should be filtered in the glib ebuild?

It's still strange why only this one scroll bar is affected...
Comment 3 Harley Privitera 2006-05-10 08:10:58 UTC
I also had the same problem; recompiling glib-2.10.2 w/o -fomit-frame-pointer fixed it.

Comment 4 Jean-Luc Manigat 2006-08-03 18:15:53 UTC
I had the same problem. glib 2.10.3 and evo 2.6.1-r1.

Notice that I do NOT have -fomit-frame-pointer in my CFLAGS. The only thing that I found that we have in common is -Os.

I recompiled glib-2.10.3 with "-O2 -pipe" and it now works. I'll play around a bit and see if I can find the culprit between "-march=athlon-xp" and "-Os."

Comment 5 Rémi Cardona (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-08-04 03:12:30 UTC
-Os unfortunately breaks a few Gnome packages. I guess we can add glib to the list.

Gnome doesn't consider anything above -O2 and the Gnome herd won't either. Bug can be closed.
Comment 6 Jean-Luc Manigat 2006-08-06 12:19:34 UTC
Well, shouldn't we add a filter-flag to the gnome2 eclass then? -Os isn't that arcane of a CFLAG, is it?

Comment 8 Gilles Dartiguelongue (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-08-07 01:13:11 UTC
I rémi said, gnome doesn't want to hear about other optimisation than march and -O2 but Evolution team would probably be glad to get a patch for that since it could hide a bug.
Comment 9 Daniel Gryniewicz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-08-11 13:30:44 UTC
We don't filter for several reasons.  First, the users can do what they want.  This is the Gentoo way.  Second, not all gnome packages break with insane CFLAGS, and some people *really* want insane CFLAGS for reasons I don't understand.  My belief is that we'd get more bug reports for "Why are you filtering my flags" than we get for "foo is broken with my flags".  We may yet change the policy, but that's the current one.
