Subject: evolution1.5: scrolling in month view with scrollbar is discontinuous
Date: Wed, 8 Sep 2004 07:15:12 +0200
Package: evolution1.5
Version: 1.5.94.1-1
Severity: minor

I have reported this problem with the following text to
http://bugzilla.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=65370
------------
Description of Problem:
Scrolling around with the up and down buttons of the scrollbar
in the month view of the calendar is somewhat discontinuous. It
needs about four or five clicks on the button to scroll. Then,
it scrolls one entire month. It would be desirable to scroll
week by week on each click (like the slider is suggesting it).

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Go to the month view in the calendar.
2. Scroll using the buttons on the scrollbar.

Actual Results:
It needs four or five clicks to scroll by one month.

Expected Results:
Each click should scroll by one week
------------

Gerardo tested in SuSE 9.1, RH 8 and RH 9 using Evolution 1.5.93
and 1.5.94 and it worked there. So, we guess it is Debian
specific and I report it here.

PS: This report is written on an amd64 machine with self
compiled evolution1.5 but the same problem also appears on
another machine (i386).
