Again, not sure if this is upstream, but when I select a blank portion of the slider, I would expect it to go to that portion of the file. However, if I do that to the right of the button on the slider, it will increment backwards.
clicking in the slider trough does not move to the mouse pointer; that's the normal expected bhaviour of a slider or scrollbar in gtk. i'm not going to hack around this for custom behavior, even though many media player sliders seem to work this way. if you want it to seek to the position of the mouse cursor, click with the middle button (more standard behaviour). on the other hand, clicking to the right should make it move right, not left...
Thanks for the middle button tip. ^_^ So the clicking-right-of-button bug is valid?
looks like this is normal behavior. check out any other gtk2 app with a slider. i think it's meant to emulate the old-style xlib/xt scrollbar behaviour, where left-click makes it move left, right-click makes it move right, and middle click makes it move to the cursor. except that right-click doesn't seem to do anything with a gtk2 slider. oh well. Not My Problem[tm] anyway.
Well, that middle-click is functional enough; thanks again for the tip! (I forgot about it since last time you mentioned it. :)
