I fear that the main thread of this issue has been lost due to the
irrelevant side issue raised about Windows.
Below is the latest real message in this thread (in response to Colin Law):
I was surprised to see 3.900 myself but that's what the About screen
tells me:
Version: 3.900
Build ID: git 3.1-100-geb67baba5+ (2018-06-03)
Finance::Quote: 1.47
I am running the standard gnome version of Ubuntu with the exception of
a change I made to get a wider scrollbar per:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/775201/how-do-i-get-a-bigger-static-scrollbar-aka-normal-scrollbar
I think I the only change I made was changing
-GtkRange-slider-width: 16;
to
-GtkRange-slider-width: 25;
However, this problem has been with me since gnucash v 2.x.x and on a
previous version of Ubuntu where I hadn't messed with the scroll bar width.
As for "X or Wayland" I don't know. I am using whatever Ubuntu 18.04
ships with out of the box.

I am not seeing any problems on Ubuntu 18.10 running GC 3.4. Confused
by the fact you say you are running 3.900 as I think 3.4 is the latest.
Are you running the standard (Gnome) version of Ubuntu? Are you using
X or Wayland? That should be selectable from logon screen. I am
running X.

For two years something seemed not quite right about the use of
scroll
bars in Gnucash register windows, but I always just "lived with it"
in a
state of vague , not quite conscious annoyance.
I have finally put my finger on the problem.
When I click in the scroller and move my mouse, whenever the mouse
leaves the scroll bar area the display snaps back to where it was
before
the scroll operation. I initially tried to carefully keep the mouse
within the scroll bar area, and that does prevent the display from
snapping back - but my new ephiphany is this: If I do manage not to
stray from the bounds of the scroll bar before releasing the mouse
button, then the display stays where my scrolling action left it BUT,
the moment I subsequently move the mouse out of the scroll bar area,
the
display snaps to its previous position. In particular this makes it
impossible to edit an entry that was out of the visible scrolling
area
but became visible after scrolling, as it is gone before I can click
it.
The only way to get to a row not visible is by using the arrow
keys or
PgUp, PgDown. Ironically, pressing those keys does move the
scroller.
I am running GNUCash version 3.900, which I built from source on
2018-06-03 on Ubuntu 18.04.
This is highly irritating and non-standard behavior, I think. Other
apps do not handle scrolling this way, such as the Thunderbird Mail
inbox, Libre Office Calc, etc. I was not able to find a setting that
would govern this behavior. Do others experience this, or is it a
bug?
