bug#70002: 29.2; GTK3 mouse wheel scrolling

[Sparapani, Rodney]

Hi Eli and Po:

 

Well, here’s my real issue.  We had trouble with LUCID scroll bars.

So we can fix that with either MOTIF or GTK.  But with MOTIF,

I have a similar problem with the menu-bar: it is slow.  A click

on it takes a while: I just counted 20s.  Then it typically works as

advertised, but the wait is painful (see bug#69870).  And as we

see here, the GTK menu-bar is fine, but mouse wheel scrolling

doesn’t work very well.  Is there a simple was a way that we can

get working scroll-bars, menu-bar and mouse-wheel support?

Is there a clever configuration that can do that?  I suppose

mixing toolkits doesn’t work.  But is there something else

that I can try?  Thanks for all of your help on emacs!

Yes.  If that doesn't help, perhaps Po Lu (CC'ed) could have some
ideas.

Thanks.
