[gcmd-dev] mouse scrolling dragged files

[Michael]

SO here we are ;)

I think this is a main issue, meanwhile, because most newcomers *will* start 
with standard mouse navigation. I've seen people getting into trouble with this 
bug personally every time i installed a linux for someone else, and i'm tending 
to recommend konqueror or even nautilus just for this sole reason...because 
drag&drop is a main usage feature of any graphical file manager and it just 
needs to work.

scenario:

(1) Enter /usr/share/doc (because it's a long folder list)
(2) Drag the BUGS file from the gcmd source from the opposite pane over this 
long file list without dropping it anywhere.
(3) Try to scroll down to a far destination folder by moving mouse pointer 
(file still undropped) around the lower end of the file list

Result: It will not scroll.

(4) Press ESC to cancel the operation

(5) Scroll down the long file list to some arbitrary folder, say, 
/usr/share/doc/gnome-commander.

(6) Drag the BUGS file from the opposite pane and try to drop it into 
/usr/share/doc/gnome-commander.

Result: The file list immediately starts scrolling *up*, rendering it 
impossible to drop the BUGS file into the proper location.

There's more madness around this bug, but i think it's all about the same gtk 
thing (which never worked very well in any application, for my taste) and the 
bottom line is clear.
Well, it kinda works in nautilus.
