macOS Accessibility Zoom issue - zooming in/out, should scroll up/down

Hello.

After updating to MacOS 26.1 I have issue with Accessibility Zoom feature. I have disabled "Use scroll gesture with modifier keys to zoom", but scrolling while I temporary zoom with toggle zoom shortcut control + option it is zooming in and out, while scrolling. Before update this was correctly scrolling up and down.

Is there a way to achieve the previous working state or I need to wait for new update?

Kind Regards, Damjan

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 26.1

You might want to try restarting your Mac .. ie Click the "black Apple" on the left in the top menu bar >

Choose "Restart" from the small menu that opens. Wait a bit..

Then log back in, and check whether that fixed the issue.

Resarting deletes temporary files, may update any recent setting changes, re-establishes connections, and more, Restarting often restores order if something is not working as expected.
