Overlay scrollbars doesn't scale to match the current DPI settings

[Marco Trevisan (Treviño)]

[Impact]
Dash scrollbars do not respect the configured monitor scaling

[Test case]
1. From Unity Control Center -> Displays -> Change the monitor scaling to somewhat
   different from 1.0 (might be both bigger and smaller, your choice).
2. Open the dash, expand the results so that the scrollbars show
3. Hover a scrollbar and the overlay scrollbar thumb should appear
4. Both the scrollbar and the thumb should be scaled matching the current DPI settings
   for the monitor the dash is in

The same should happen in previews.

[Regression potential]
Very low. A possibility might be missing scrollbars somewhere in the dash.

This bug was fixed in the package unity - 7.3.0+14.10.20140731.1-0ubuntu1

---------------
unity (7.3.0+14.10.20140731.1-0ubuntu1) utopic; urgency=low

  [ Ubuntu daily release ]
  * New rebuild forced

  [ Brandon Schaefer ]
  * Fixes FTBFS caused by gcc 4.9. Mostly unused functions. (LP:
    #1350052)

  [ Andrea Azzarone ]
  * == Problem == Lockscreen capslock detection doesn't work well with
    remapped capslocks == Fix == Use gdk keymap to get the state of the
    caps lock. (LP: #1347735)

  [ Marco Trevisan (Treviño) ]
  * PlacesOverlayVScrollBar and VScrollBarOverlayWindow: add support for
    scaling Add a new ScrollView class to create ScrollViews with an
    OverlayScrollbar and with scaling support. Using them in dash Scopes
    and Previews. (LP: #1340996)
  * LockScreenShield: Add GrabScreen function and retry to make sure we
    really get grab It might happen that the grab is not possible
    because the PluginAdapter::IsScreenGrabbed request has still not
    being fully processed, and thus nux is not able to grab the
    pointer/keyboard. By doing this we instead try to grab the screen,
    and if this is not happening, we wait a little until we don't get
    the ungrab event. In this way, if we eventually get the grab, all
    will work as expected. Otherwise, we cancel the lock request (very
    unlikely to happen). (LP: #1349128)
  * PlacesOverlayVScrollBar: redirect the mouse wheel scroll events
    coming from the thumb to the scrollview This will make the
    scrollview to handle then and perform the same scrolling action it
    would do otherwise. (LP: #1340992)
  * This has a "soft" dependency on lp:~3v1n0/nux/horizontal-scroll-
    delta/+merge/227070, this means that this code would just work as it
    used to do (except for the SwitcerView fix) if that nux branch is
    not used, while it will support correctly horizontal scroll events
    when both the branches are used. (LP: #1342208)

Hello Marco, or anyone else affected,

Accepted unity into trusty-proposed. The package will build now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/7.2.3+14.04.20140826-0ubuntu1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!

Everything scales correctly hovewer as I already mentioned in Bug #1339629 dragging or clicking overlay scrollbars stops working when I have set scale factor to values beetwen 1.5 and 2.

I can scroll them with mouse wheel but dragging or clicking on them doesn't work.

  * FilterWidgets: add support for scaling (LP: #1340171)
  * OverlayRendering: correctly scale the overlays borders and edges to
    match settings. DashStyle has been modified to return smart pointers
    of textures that are loaded depending on the scale level. The cache
    will make sure that we don't duplicate the textures and that they
    get removed when not needed anymore. Also thanks to this the
    SearchBarSpinner textures (and the other spinners as well) uses the
    SVGs scaled at the proper size (I desgined a new SVG for the
    magnifier, as we only had a PNG). (LP: #1283415) (LP: #1340394)
