Thank you for the report with detail.
I fixed it. Please try the latest feature/pgtk on savannah.
Your patch fixes the issue for me. I've submitted a patch to update the Guix package as well: https://issues.guix.gnu.org/44934
Thank you again!
Summary
Scrolling a buffer using the touch pad doesn't work for the most part. Sometimes Emacs will scroll, but in large jumps that are not predictable or useful.
Software and hardware versions
M-x
emacs-version
says:guix show emacs-next-pgtk
says:Operating system is elementary OS 5.1.7 Hera
Hardware is a 2019 Dell XPS 13 with no peripherals attached
How to trigger the issue
Start Emacs using:
guix environment --pure --ad-hoc emacs-next-pgtk -- emacs -Q
Load a buffer and scroll using a touch pad.
Expected behavior
Emacs should begin scrolling the buffer right away.
Observed behavior
Emacs mostly does not respond to touchpad scrolling at all. On occasion the buffer scroll position jumps suddenly in the direction I'm trying to scroll.
Workarounds
C-v
,M-v
, etcI don't observe any unusual or undesirable behaviors when scrolling using those methods. Only scrolling using the touch pad in the pgtk build seems to be affected.
P.S.
THANK YOU for working on this fantastic software!
