I've had this issue for a couple of weeks but haven't had a chance to look at it until this past weekend.  I placed a scrollview on a tab within a form and some of the components would appear outside of the tab if they were scrolled outside of the scrollview limits.  I showed screen shots of this error on this post.

I have also created a simple form where this error would occure:

The only way I was able to 'Fix' this was to set the Tablet option to True.  But according to the Gambas Wiki, this doesn't make any sense at all as this is only dealing with events from a tablet's touch screen to be converted to mouse events.  Any idea what's going on?  Am I just missing something entirely?

I'm running this on Mint Linux 20 Ulyana with Cinnamon 4.6.7.  My laptop does not have a touch screen.

Are you using the latest development Gambas version?
I reported a bug similar to this on the bug-tracker and it was recently fixed (bug 2407)
i cannot find a problem with your test program (gambas 3.16.90 dev branch) so maybe it's fixed now?

Thanks for testing this out Bruce.  

That must be it.  I'm using my package manager's version, 3.14.3-2ubuntu3.1.  So it appears I'm well behind the current version.  I'll look at updating when I get home tonight and trying it out again.

Yeah simple on ubuntu based systems..

<HIGHLIGHT highlight="shell">
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gambas-team/gambas3  # For latest stable version (will not have this scrollview fix yet)
# Or…
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gambas-team/gambas-daily  # For latest dev version

# then….
sudo apt-get remove "gambas3*"  # remove all installed old gambas files
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gambas3
</HIGHLIGHT>

I have a one liner that will do it: -

sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:gambas-team/gambas3 && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y install gambas3

hehe , how about a choice of stable or dev branch even?  

Lol! Thanks guys.  But I don't think I'm worthy of the one liners!  

That works much better now.  Don't need Tablet=true any more.  I noticed a few other tweaks in the rendering of my program right away.  Going to have some fun playing with it tonight.

BTW, you will want to add apt-get remove "gambas3*" to those one liners.  Ended up with a bit of a mess until I got everything removed before reinstalling.
