Subject: 23.1.50; Clicks on the scrollbar registered as clicks in the window
Date: Fri, 27 Nov 2009 15:03:04 +0100

Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug <at> gnu.org mailing list.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

When clicking on the scrollbar, the clicks are registered by emacs as
clicks *inside* the window, thus moving the cursor and possibly
selecting text (when moving the scroll slider).

If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file
/usr/share/emacs/23.1.50/etc/DEBUG for instructions.

Can you repeat this behavior with Emacs -Q ?

Does it happen if you do not load ...

This bug was fixed when bug 4870 was fixed.  That is, CVS Emacs from 
2009-11-06.  Yours is from 2009-09-09, so it isn't included.  You need to make 
Debian update their package to a newer Emacs.  But you can do it yourself, it 
isn't that hard.

Absolutely.

It appears at least with GTK scroll bars, I tried to recompile the package
with --without-toolkit-scroll-bars and the problem was gone.  The problem
appears with the version installed in Ubuntu Karmic, 32bit as well as 64bit
version.  It wasn't happening with Ubuntu Jaunty.
