Scrolling through the playlist with the mouse wheel also skips ahead/back in the current track

[Martijn vdS]

When I scroll through the "playlist", the currently playing song/video skips ahead as if I was pointing at the video (or its position bar) while turning the mouse wheel.

It will even skip to the next/previous item if you scroll far enough.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[noname2 (noname2-deactivatedaccount)]

are there rly only 3 users affected by this bug? its still alive in 12.04

[Michele Giacomoli (michele-giacomoli)]

Honesty... It seems i'm not affected anymore from this bug. When i scroll using the wheel it seeks forward/backward and just near the end of the played track if seek forward it skips to the next entry in the playlist

[noname2 (noname2-deactivatedaccount)]

how did you manage to achieve that? if im scrolling in playlist it still seeks through the track. i installed precise daily-live 3 days before release.

[Michele Giacomoli (michele-giacomoli)]

Forgive me, I was wrong... The bug still exists also in my Computer. I forgot the description of the problem, so yesterday I read it quickly and didn't understand the real problem... I confirm that the bug is still present

[Dan Dart (dandart)]

Confirmed - this still happens on 3.0.1

[Patrick Santos (milljudgement+ubuntu)]

This bug was reported again in for 3.0.1 with bug 954952.

[Patrick Santos (milljudgement+ubuntu)]

ACK I wish there was an edit - my paste buffer had the wrong number. bug 997504 ...

[Nicolas Delvaux (malizor)]

This bug does not happen on Oneiric although the Precise package is based on the same upstream tarball (Totem 3.0.1).

I managed to rebuild and install the Oneiric package on my Precise box, but it did not solve this issue.
So I guess this is probably not a Totem bug, but rather a bug in a dependency or an input bug (xorg?)

[cdar (cdar07)]

I'm also affected by this bug. My idea to solve this,
is to change scroll-event connection in glade file data/totem.ui
from object class="GtkWindow" id="totem_main_window"
to object class="GtkVBox" id="tmw_main_vbox".

Ubuntu 12.04, totem 3.0.1-0ubuntu21

The proposed patch works here. I did not notice any regression.
This is rather a workaround than a true fix, because the same file cause no bug on Oneiric and Debian.

However, the patch seems fine. So it would be cool to include it in a SRU in order to fix this annoying bug and then investigate the true issue in Quantal (I just tested with the latest daily-live and the bug is still there, even if Totem was updated to v3.4).

@cdar: I'm sure ubuntu-reviewers will be happy if you can find some time to follow this process: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/HowToFix#Work_on_fix

[cdar (cdar07)]

Haha! Only that? Too much for me. I did:
bzr branch lp:ubuntu/totem, pbuilder -dist precise create, changed totem.ui, dch -i, and now
bzr bd -- -S -us -uc says:

[Nicolas Delvaux (malizor)]

Well, it seems the tutorial is out of date...

Here is what I think you should do:
(warning: I'm not an appointed reviewer so I may be wrong)

- Start from a clean repository (bzr branch lp:ubuntu/totem)

- Go in debian/patches and add your patch with a name like "95_fixscrolling_through_playlist.patch".
I attached an quilt version of your patch, you should use it.

- edit the "series" file and add the patch in the list.

- bzr add debian/patches/YOUR_PATCH

- dch -i , bzr bd -- -S -us -uc, sudo pbuilder build DSC_FILE.dsc

- When it's over, install and test debs from /var/cache/pbuilder/result.

- If it works as expected, you can follow this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/HowToFix#Committing_the_fix

Hope this help!

Can't make branch:

cdar@ubu:~/tmp/totem_lp$ bzr branch lp:ubuntu/precise/totem
bzr: ERROR: Revision {<email address hidden>} not present in "Graph(StackedParentsProvider(bzrlib.repository._LazyListJoin(([CachingParentsProvider(None)], []))))".

[Nicolas Delvaux (malizor)]

Well, the branch seems to be broken...
I guess you can still use the "lp:ubuntu/totem" branch.
Reviewers should be able to cherry-pick your commit easily.

[cdar (cdar07)]

I think i did it, hope it works, https://code.launchpad.net/~cdar07/ubuntu/quantal/totem/fix-for-954952

Are you sure?
Here 12.10 fixed it.

[Fabio Marconi (fabiomarconi)]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. However, I am closing it because the bug has been fixed in the latest development version of Ubuntu - Raring Ringtail.

This is a significant bug in Ubuntu. If you need a fix for the bug in previous versions of Ubuntu, please do steps 1 and 2 of the SRU Procedure [1] to bring the need to a developer's attention.
