Q: Magic Mouse doing "swipe back" when trying to scroll down post-Yosemite

I've been using my magic mouse for 3 years since I purchased my iMac, and have never had any issues with it. Since upgrading to Yosemite, much of the time (enough to be extremely annoying - 20% or so?), when scrolling down on a web page, the mouse reads the gesture as a swipe back instead of a scroll. I've attempted to hold the mouse at a different angle, which is uncomfortable and doesn't really help any in any case. Is there a way to recalibrate the gestures so that it re-learns what scrolling down looks like (and stops going to the previous page, gah!)? Another solution?

iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10)

    Thanks for that info! Too early to say for certain, but this seems to have resolved the issue. I've updated Chrome last night, and I've haven't had the problem behavior since then.

     

    I thought I'd had the same issue with Firefox, but I use it only of occasional necessity, so I'm not certain. I'll work with it some to see if it does also, but for now, this seems fixed with Chrome 42 Beta.

    Awesome, the latest Chrome beta works WAY better with the back and forward page gesture.  Google Maps works way better too.

    My Chrome just auto-updated to Version 41.0.2272.104 (64-bit) and it looks like the back/forward swipe navigation is disabled entirely in Gmail. But the problem still exists in Google News and other websites.

    I am on the same Chrome version (on Mavericks) and still seeing the problem.    It also happens on Safari and Firefox as well.

    I had this happen after security update 2015-002 , had to roll back to previous time machine back up which restored functionality. Took a chance and ran 2015-002 again and it worked fine the second time. Security Update 2015-003 and now I have the same problem again. Swipe back freezes safari at the edge and the swipe feature is nulled on chrome. Five finger grab is now disabled also unless I reboot then it will work until swipe back freezes . I've been on the phone with Apple support and all they can tell me is revert to previous version or reboot.

    Apple are you listening ? Your trackpad software bites the big one

    Yosemite was released in October of 2014 and I haven't noticed this happening until recently. I swapped mice with another computer in the office that was not having this problem and now BOTH computers are doing it. I purchased a new mouse and it does it too. I'm going crazy! I don't want to change my settings to 2 finger swipe (I use multiple desktops a lot!) or anything else I just want it to work like it did before!

    I have the same problem and it's very annoying!

    I had to take an online exam multiple choice (like 40 questions) and when I reached the bottom of the page guess what happened?

     

    APPLE / GOOGLE CHROME PLEASE FIX THIS ISSUE. I WILL DONATE MONEY TO YOU (ON TOP OF YOUR BILLIONS OF DOLLARS THAT YOU ALREADY HAVE FROM US)

    Thanks for letting us know that version 42 was released. I've been using Safari for a month now and badly wanted to like it, especially with the integration with Safari on my iPhone. But I just find Chrome a little more friendly (more readable bookmark toolbar, pasting images into Gmail are just a couple). And Safari's "Share" using Gmail sends me back to Chrome when it could have just as easily kept me in Safari, the default browser. So it's back to Chrome for me.

    Yes, it is much much better with Chrome 42.

    I do think it is better, but I'm still seeing it happen, particularly on reddit.com.  For example, scrolling in certain spots on the front page causes the browser to go back a page.  Really driving me crazy.

    This seemed to have fixed itself in Chrome 42, but now I'm on Chrome 43.0.2357.134 and the problem is back.  I tried to swipe back on some pages and the page just seems to "scroll".  Driving me nuts.
