Package: evolution
Version: 2.6.3-6etch2
Severity: important
I am unable to utilize the vertical scroll bar to scroll the list of
messages in the message pane in Evolution. I have tried clicking either
the top and bottom arrows, as well as attempting to click and drag the
slider element. The shading of the arrows and slider changes when the
mouse hovers over the element, indicating that the mouse cursor is
indeed in that position, but the application completely ignores the
clicks. I have tried with all 3 buttons, simply for completeness (using
a standard 3-button Sun mouse), although I would only expect the first
button to work.
I have attempted running the application with --disable-eplugins to
confirm that the behavior is not plugin-dependent. I have attempted the
operation under both Xfce4 and fluxbox as well, and it occurs for both
window managers.
I have attempted to research this issue, and found only two related
bugs, one related to a compiz setting (compiz is not installed in my
case), and the other related to an older version of gtk-engines (see
description of this bug at
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=369100 ). I am not certain
how the referenced gtk-engines package maps to the available packages on
debian currently, I did not see a package with the same name and roughly
similar package revision number.
I tried starting from the console and watching for messages which would
indicate a problem, but the only message was in relation to
network-manager not being installed (I am not using gnome desktop or
management tools).
This is a new installation of evolution, so I have no prior behavior,
and there is not a recent upgrade that I can point at as having broken
something.
