Bug Description

Binary package hint: adept

This bug goes hand-in-hand with the bug I just reported, bug #275191.

As things currently stand in my system, when I view my packages in Adept's search tab, there's way too much spacing and the info often runs off the screen. However, when I try to scroll down to see it, the info disappears!

Look at the picture I've attached, Example One. This is what I see when I click on the OpenOffice package. There's so much spacing that I can't see anything, so naturally, I'd like to scroll down to see it...but when I click on the scroll button just once to scroll it down, the whole thing disappears. I don't see the "OpenOffice" package or any part of its description. If I scroll back up again, I get what you see in Example One again.

This happens with a lot of other packages I have installed, so info displays must not be scrolling properly.

The problem is that the Package View is scrolling on a per-item basis instead of a per-pixel basis.

This is really nasty and makes it impossible to install any package with a long description unless it can all fit on the screen at once.

Also affects KPackageKit, although the situation is less serious since the description is inside a scrollable textbox. Scrolling per item is rather annoying and disorienting though.
