Bug Description

Binary package hint: f-spot

im using the f-spot that comes with edgy

the timeline slider can be slid all the way to the edge of the screen, no matter how big or where the window is.

obviously the timeline slider needs to be restricted to the actual timeline.

I am experiencing a similar, though not identical, problem, and I thought it might not warrant opening a separate bug ticket.

When I drag the slider past either edge of the timeline, the mouse cursor, of course, continues past the edge of the window, but the slider doesn't continue to scroll. The expected behavior is that if you are still holding the mouse button, and the mouse cursor is beyond the edges of the timeline, the slider will continually scroll, similar to the way selecting a large block of text works -- i.e., while holding the mouse cursor in one place, the window scrolls down and text continues to be selected.

What happens instead is that the slider moves a little bit further and then stops. In order to move even further on the timeline, you have to continue to move the mouse cursor even further away from the edge of the timeline. You are eventually limited by the very edge of your desktop. This makes scrolling through a long timeline very difficult, and is clearly a defect rather than intended behavior.

If anyone could give it a test and see if it all works it would be most appreciated.

Please respond via the upstream bug tracker..
