Thanks for submitting that bug report! And the info right clicking
the steppers (although that scrolls a little too much for my preferences
but I guess I am hard to please. :-)
It seems like a lot of old behavior was just moved to new buttons,
keys, etc. It's a shame that the one extra step of making those
behaviors user-selectable was not taken. One of the problems
with Gnome (IMO) is their adoption of the meme, "the less choices
available to a user, the better."
