	Hi,
it's scrolling and clicking (preview panel selects text instead of
clicking the URL, as indicated in [1], and downgrading to gtk 3.3.14,
which is basically the place just before the XInput2, fixes the issue).
In other words, there are few regressions with their move to XInput2.

Sure thing, they do not provide anything special and new for us. :)
