I close this bug, but just added the scrollbar support as a task.

Scroll bars are not an easy thing to implement using raw xlibs and Xaw, indeed.

About the release... i would wait a little more to have fixed #11266 before 3.6.1

Hi Jose,

---nocenter works. Thanks.

I think that normal, visible, scroll bars would be a nice enhancement, although I don't think it's urgent or anything. Every other program I can think of supports them. I know they're a pain to implement, though.

Making another release just because the cmdline handling bug is fixed seems worthwhile to me, actually.

Thanks much,
karl

About the anchoring issue, note that --center is enabled by default, so:

$ gv --nocenter --scale=4 small2e.ps

should anchor to the top-left margin of the document. Please let me know if this work for you.

And about scrollbars... gv do not support scrollbars on the ghostview widget at all... all scrolling must be done with the cursor keys, or moving the mouse while pressing left-button. The last is a very nice scrolling mode, but i wonder if actual scroll bars would be a good thing. What do you think?

after generating a simple PS document, e.g.,
tex story \\end; dvips story -o; gv story.ps

I selected magnification 4. This puts some of the document off the top of the screen. (Which might be a separate bug, seems like it should stay anchored at the top.)

The arrow keys work to scroll, but I can't see any actual scroll bars, which seems somewhat problematic. The wheel on my mouse didn't work either, although that doesn't surprise me.

This is true with older versions of gv, too.
