Scroll Bar Jumping

Using Xubuntu 16.04, Xfce 4.12

In the "old days" when you clicked the empty
area of the scroll bar it would jump either 1 page ahead or back from
the current position you were at. But now the new action seems to be to jump a
proportional amount depending on were you click in the empty scroll bar
space.

IMO I don't like the new action, it screws me up. I want the old
action.

I tried creating /home/giga1/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini and
adding the lines:

[Settings]
gtk-primary-button-warps-slider = false

and rebooted, but that did not stop it. Is there a way to have old way?

Thanks.

Re: Scroll Bar Jumping

Hi, Leegold. I will probably upgrade to Mint 18 after Clem releases an Xfce flavor (the first .ISO was rejected in testing, but the second one has made it to the point where it was "approved for beta release," so I assume it will be fairly soon). Mint 18 is based on Ubuntu 16.04, so I will be in the same situation that you are in. Therefore, if you happen to find a solution to the broken (IMHO) scrollbar issue - but find it elsewhere - please post it here.

Thanks,
MDM

Re: Scroll Bar Jumping

The action most obvious in Synaptic. It's a big vertical list and problem really shows itself there.
