GTK3 scrolling with wheel during mouse move not working

I'm just testing 20.04 and noticed that the mouse wheel is not working if the mouse is being moved. So GTK3 does seem to not scroll during a mouse move, that's quite bad news for me because I'm most of the time moving the mouse during a scroll (either involuntarily or because I know where I want to have the pointer at the end of the scroll).

Is there an option to re-enable the old behavior?

Welcome, @RobertZenz!

Are you by chance testing in a Virtual Machine? That's the only place I see it here (VirtualBox 5). But I also see it in a VM of 18.04 so it's likely a VirtualBox mouse integration behavior. Live boot and native installs do not show it at all.

Hey, thanks for the info! Yes, it's a VirtualBox. I also considered that it might be the VM, but kinda forgot about it. Thank you.

Great! I wonder how many read this and went to look for this themselves. I never noticed but it's quite repeatable. Thanks to you I learned something, too. :slight_smile:
