Hal hscale/vscale bug?

Not sure if it's a bug or bad implementation on my part but it seems like a bug. When using a hal scale if you click the widget area but miss the actual slider the scale will max out. On normal GTK widgets missing the slider will just cause it to increment 1 step value.

I've been running 2.8pre1 from the 7i96 branch for probably like a year. I do not update this machine at all as it's sort of a developement box. So I'm not sure if maybe it's been fixed since.

could you supply a sample glade file that shows the problem

Chris, I could send it to you directly but the UI it's something that is in development and not really something I'd want to post.

I can get a behavior as you describe if the gtk adjustment's (related to the scale widget) page increments setting is set too high.

See if that helps - otherwise I will need your glade file - yes you can email me directly.

I think this is because of the way we're modifying the adjustment range in Python, it may not have anything to do with the fact that they are hal scales. I can see that in Glade if I open the glade file the scale respects the page increments when I click on the scale somewhere other than the handle.

My GUI uses a config window to set a range for the scale adjustments in Python. It must be affecting the page increment as well. I'll have to have my friend look into it since I'm not much for Pyhton.
