Dear Maintainer, In GTK3 apps (Evince, Meld) move movement on my clickpad-style touchpad are interpreted as touchscreen-like panning of the document or source file. It also interferes with two finger scrolling. Circular scrolling works though. A normal USB mouse works well, including scrolling. This bug is similar to https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=716959 and https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=766707 (the latter appears to be a duplicate of the former) and exporting GDK_CORE_DEVICE_EVENTS=1 solves it. I've attached a log of running GDK_DEBUG=event evince file.pdf
I forgot to mention that I am using no login manager, just startx from console which starts the i3 window manager via .xsession. I3 WM has very good support for various WM hints, similar bugs often mention tiling window managers, but not a specific one. Therefore, it seems to me that it might be some setting that a login manager or DE sets and a minimal setup does not. If that is the case, it should be handled by /etx/X11/Xsession.d/ files so that every X session has it correctly enabled. This bug is very inconvenient, it makes GTK3 apps hard to use, so maybe the severity could be bumped if applicable. Kind regards, Ondřej Grover
