Hi, after upgrade from gnome-light 3.4 to 3.6 some application doens't switch tab with scroll wheel. For istance nautilus and gedit have the problem while gnome-terminal is working properly as before. Reproducible: Always
It's a feature not a bug. it's has not been working in gedit or epiphany since 3.0, nautilus got probably updated to respect the same behavior and gnome-terminal is the exception here. If you find this inappropriate, please report upstream. We should probably add a note about it in migration guide again.

Ok, I opened the bug https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=690852 at gnome. > It's a feature not a bug :D
I updated the guide so this information is more visible: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/gnome/howtos/gnome-3.6-upgrade.xml
I think this is the original "feature" request bug (maybe useful for reference): https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=630226 And this is the offending commit: http://git.gnome.org/browse/gtk+/commit/?id=ad48f4d52bbac6139dd829fcc421ad16441f34d2 I haven't tried to revert the patch to know if people still wanting this feature could revert it easily (epatch -R...) or if more changes were included since then :/
Ok, thank you. It was interesting to read the bugs history, so now I dont'have any hope and I have to use more kde applications like dolphin etc ;( Really sad...
Don't desperate. If enough users complain, maybe they'll make it work again, just like this suspend/shutdown switch.
Also maybe reverting pointed commit in your system could help... :/
Well, the bug was closed as duplicate of a bug 682561 (NOTABUG !) and there's also the 145244, still opened (!) without any progress. Ok, maybe my "English" is too poor to understand the good reason they proceed in such (brutal) way, I think that leave an option would be much more better than drop common feature... So, which is the best thing I can do to discard the "offending commit"? :) Thank you!
This is really to work out with upstream. As they said, this is the default behavior of GtkNotebook (or whatever is the class again). The fix would be to either re-introduce the feature at this level or not at all to maintain consistency across all gtk-using applications.
Ok, I understood that is not a gentoo bug but a gnome bug, also if they don't think the same :) I was just asking which is the best way for "personal use only", as pacho suggest, and then search the relative gentoo doc. 1) patch? 2) modifiy the source, compress, digest etc... and emerge? 3) fork gtk/gnome? :D 4) ? Bye
Created attachment 342954 [details, diff] Switch tabs by scrolling in gtk+
Ok, at the end I created a patch (above) and put it in /etc/portage/patches/x11-libs/gtk+ Now I'm ok, the loved bug is back :D Thank you, again
Sorry for multi posting, I want just say that with the patch also gedit works putting the cursor near the upper edge of the tabs.
