Smooth scroll in Zathura
I am trying to enable the smooth scrolling feature in Zathura. I have the following line in my zathurarc: set smooth-scroll true, but the scrolling doesn't become smooth.
According to the documentation:
smooth-scroll
Defines if scrolling via touchpad should be smooth(only available with gtk >= 3.4).
I have gtk 3.22 installed (which is greater than 3.4, right?) as dpkg -s libgtk-3-0|grep '^Version' gives me Version: 3.22.4-1.
What do I need to do in order to enable smooth scroll? The "via touchpad" part is also suspicious, but I can't get it to work on either a touchpad, a scrollwheel or with the keyboard.
Another suspicious thing is that it does not autocomplete when I type :set sm which it does with other options.

can you try setting a verbose error-log level? Maybe that would give you a hint about the underlying problem. Also, have you observed problems with other applications and the scroll-speed?

In newer releases of Zathura (0.4.3) the scrolling is now smooth by default. Still no smooth-scroll option.

@Heilke Walinga: Hmm... Strange! I am running 0.4.3 and the scrolling is not smooth. So... Is it smooth for you, you say?

Hmm... According to the man page, that should have nothing to do with smoothness, and the default value is 40; I don't see why 50 would make a difference. I have tried it anyway, but that doesn't change the smoothness.
