RHBA-2015:0558 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated gtk3 packages that fix several bugs are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 7.

Description

The GTK+ library provides a multi-platform toolkit for creating graphical user
interfaces. The gtk3 packages contain GTK+ version 3.

This update fixes the following bugs:

• The missing manual pages gtk3-demo(1), gtk3-demo-application(1), and

gtk3-widget-factory(1) have been added to the gtk3 packages. (BZ#948432)

• Prior to this update, repetitive resizing of a window using the GtkExpander

menu item did not work correctly. Consequently, if the expander contained a
GtkGrid which included a GtkLabel with wrapped text, repetitive expanding and
collapsing made the window grow higher. This bug has been fixed, and the
described problem no longer occurs. (BZ#982295)

• Previously, the Highlight Mode selection on the bottom status bar of the gedit

text editor did not provide a scrolling capability. Consequently, some of the
options were off the screen and thus not selectable. This bug has been fixed,
and users are now able to select any of the listed syntax highlighting modes
also from the bottom status bar. (BZ#1062938)

• Previously, an incorrect GtkTreePath was used when converting the path of the

virtual root to check the ancestors. Consequently, when the user was switching
between open application windows using the Alt+Tab keys, the gedit utility could
terminate unexpectedly with a segmentation fault. This bug has been fixed, and
gedit no longer crashes in this scenario. (BZ#1150290)

• Previously, when the user attempted to assign the F1 key to another function

than help in the Keyboard Settings window, pressing F1 led to opening the GNOME
Help window. As a consequence, it was impossible to remap the F1 key to another
function. This bug has been fixed, and users are now able to reassign F1 to a
chosen function. (BZ#1090126)

Users of gtk3 are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix these
bugs.
