Zenity 'step' value ignored when using mouse

Asked by Chris Bruno

This is also posted at: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11722705#post11722705 and before I submit a bug report, wanted to get some additional eyes on it...

I am attempting (in both Ubuntu 10.04 & 11.04) to use a zenity scale dialog to allow the user to select and return a multiple of 5 quantity from 5 to 40, with a default value of 10 and a step value of 5 as follows:

<code>zenity --scale --title="Quantity" --text="How many copies?" --min-value=5 --max-value=40 --value=10 --step=5<code/>

Everything works as expected except it seems to ignore the 'step' value when I use the mouse to adjust the slider. I am able to select any quantity from 5 to 40 and it selects and returns the value without any constraint. If I use the keyboard arrow keys, it functions as expected, constraining it to a multiple of 5.

I appreciate any help/input you can provide.

This is also true of the zenity 'replacement' yad.

I concur as I have zenity 3.4.0-0ubuntu3 here in a recently upgraded Ubuntu 12.04 and besides many other problems with Zenity rendering my scripts unusable, the mouse is NOT moving the slider with the --scale option in my setup. Same behaviour as Chris Bruno. Hope next fixes are successful. This option always worked in previous versions of Zenity/Ubuntu.

Still seeing this behaviour with mouse scrolling, have had a recent update to Zenity 3.4.0-0ubuntu4 which has fixed feeding file lists to Zenity in scripts, but the scrolling problem is unchanged. Anyone else?

Can you help with this problem?
