Scrolling with the mouse wheel beyond the top or bottom causes gnome-control-center to exit

[Chris Halse Rogers]

Attempting to scroll with the scroll wheel beyond the bounds of the content (so, scrolling up when at the top or scrolling down when at the bottom of a list) causes gnome-control-center to exit cleanly (not crash) with exit code 1.

There do not appear to be any interesting messages when running it from the command line, with --verbose:

gnome-control-center doesn't crash for me when I tried your test case.

Can you reproduce this from the live ISO or from a clean install?

Is there a crash report for this issue in /var/crash/ ?

[Chris Halse Rogers (raof)]

Aha! This *is* an artefact of something strange on my system; namely, I was starting gnome-control-center from a terminal emulator packaged as a snap; as such, it has a LD_LIBRARY_PATH specified, which was partially overriding library resolution.

Weird that this manifests as the application cleanly exiting, but 🤷‍♀️
