Hi all,
Just compiled and ran lazarus from source in Ubuntu 11.04 but none of the scroll bars seem to be working. It uses the hidden scroll bars which don't scroll the window when I move them up and down.

This is happening on all windows, the object inspector, right down to the file selector.

This leads me to believe that there maybe some issue with GTK itself, but I don't have that problem with other GTK apps that have similar scroll bars, evince for instance, which is why I'm posting here.

Thanks for your support and for a great IDE!

Same prob here with SVN build 36144 on Ubuntu 11.10.

I looked around a bit and found that removing the autohiding scrollbars from ubuntu solved the problem.

Look for liboverlay-scrollbar in synaptic and remove the entr(y)(ies)

cheers

I can confirm the described behaviour as present on SVN build 36144 on Ubuntu 11.10. No scrollbars in the IDE are working. cheers Samps On Sun, Mar 18, 2012 at 9:28 AM, aditya siram wrote: > Hi all, > Just compiled and ran lazarus from source in Ubuntu 11.04 but none of > the scroll bars seem to be working.

or start lazarus with

LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR=0 ./lazarus

No need to disable them for the whole system. I just use a simple script to disable them for lazarus:

#!/bin/sh
LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR=0 ~/pascal/lazarus/startlazarus

If you launch lazarus via an icon you can edit the .desktop file. Just put "env LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR=0 lazarus" in the Exec field.

hih

But why doesn't the LCL-GTK2 work with those new scrollbars? I thought those new scrollbars should "just work" with any native GTK2 application.

OpenOffice, LibreOffice, Firefox, Thunderbird etc are exceptions, because they actually have there own "custom widget sets" built-in. They were never "pure" GTK2 applications under Linux.

Many gtk2 applications don't work with liboverlay, but it's hidden from you inside liboverlay (names of such applications are hardcoded inside library).
