1.2 regression: image blur after scrolling

[pauljohn32]

A while ago, I noticed that the directory file names were not updating quickly after removing files and I built a debian package that applied a patch I found in the bug list here. I've been using my geeqie 1.1-9 for a long time, but an Ubuntu update brought in the new 1.2 release.

A bad side effect is that when I scroll a large image up, the part of the image that was outside the desktop never draws correctly, it appears to be a blur of horizontal lines. I thought something must be wrong with my video driver after the Ubuntu update, but none of the other image viewers exhibit this problem.

So I removed geeqie 1.2 and re-installed the 1.1 version that I was using before, and the blur is completely solved.

I don't think I did anything to break this graphic setup. This is Ubuntu vivid, the version of x11 is 7.7, I have gtk2-2.24 and gtk3-3.0.2 installed from the standard repository.

Nobody else sees this "scroll distortion" problem?

I installed Ubuntu 16.10 and when all the new packages were installed, guess what? That distortion that causes very large images to be distorted when scrolling up is back.

I have installed every other image viewer I can find and none of them have this trouble, feh, gwenview, viewnoir, phototonic, and 6 or so other ones I'd never heard of before.

I don't seee everybody else afflicted with this problem,there are just a few of us. It is exactly as I described it originally, a large image that starts "off the bottom of the screen" never clears up when I scroll up.

Problem is same if I use the Nvidia or Intel graphic devices.

Sorry to post so soon again, but here is the recipe to reproduce. Get an image that is 2x as high as monitor.

In geeqie,
1. Float the file list
2. In preferences, on 3rd windows tab, set
a. fit window to omage
b. limit window when autosizing (problem same if you pick 100% or smaller.

If I unfloat the file list, then large images scroll fine.
