Hi,

Your GtkBox completely overlaps the scrolledwindow, so it catches all the events…

Try using alignment properties to control its expansion:

action_box = Gtk.Box (spacing=3, orientation=Gtk.Orientation.HORIZONTAL, halign=Gtk.Align.CENTER, valign=Gtk.Align.CENTER)

(by default is uses Gtk.Align.FILL)
