Gnome-RDP scrolls twice as far as expected per mouse-wheel turn

[jeffbronks]

Binary package hint: gnome-rdp

Ubuntu 9.10
gnome-rdp 0.2.3

When I connect to a remote Windows machine using gnome-rdp, and open a PDF in Acrobat Reader on the remote machine, with Reader set to 100% zoom, one notch of the mouse wheel should scroll the document down by exactly one page. That is what happens when I sit at the local machine, and when I run Windows on the local machine. However, with gnome-rdp, the PDF on the remote machine scrolls down by exactly two pages per mouse wheel notch. (I'm using the term 'notch' for the minimum detectable angular movement of the wheel.)

This isn't specific to Acrobat Reader. It also happens in Notepad++.

Does this also occur when you use rdesktop from a terminal prompt to connect to the Windows machine without using the Gnome-RDP front end?

Hang on while I read the instructions for rdesktop...

Yes, it is just the same.

Scrolling up also has the same problem.

If this also happens with redesktop, then it's an rdesktop bug. GnomeRDP is a front end to rdesktop. It basically proved a graphic interface to the command line application.
