Bug 165056 – Overlay scrolling with iframe-s broken

• Component: UI Events
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Milan Crha]

Moving this from a downstream bug report:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1395942

When gtk+ has set overlay scrollbars and the page contains at least one iframe, then the scrolling using the scrollbars with mouse left-click doesn't always work.

Observations:
a) mouse wheel works fine (when hovering mouse above the scroll bar)
b) when the vertical scrollbar is at the very bottom, then it works too
c) when I disable overlay scrollbars [1], then it works no matter what

[1] run the application as:
    $ GTK_OVERLAY_SCROLLING=0 test-wk2

test-wk2.c

This is a reproducer.

Steps:
a) save the previous attachment as /tmp/a.html file
b) compile and run this test-wk2.c as written on the first line of the file

Make sure the overlay scrolling is not off when testing.

Note that this bug is highly-noticeable on Igalia's internal Etherpad site.

I noticed this recently in Evolution as well. It's very annoying and definitely WebKit's fault.

This is not specific to GTK+ it happens the same in Safari using overlay scrollbars, so it seems to be a general problem with overlay scrollbars.

Yes it's not related to GTK+. I have a WIP patch, but I need to discuss it with someone. The thing is that the event is passed to the subframe even if the mouse pointer is on the scrollbar. Also that's the reason why even the cursors are wrong.

hmm, are you sure it's the same issue? This is because of frame flattening I think, but in the etherpads it happens even if frame flattening is disabled. What I tried in mac is the etherpad.

Ok, definitely the same bug then because that patch makes etherpads work too.

(I know it is not your code, ) can we name the boolean parameter or add a comment, now that we are touching it?
