3.1.2 Update: Assign Place bug still there, and now scrolling is screwed up

I don't have any problems with 3.1.2 and scrolling. Browser and Source list jump to the right position. (MacPro 10.6.6 30" + 23"). Do you see this problem in any other app?

I'm not seeing the scroll problem either.

What do you mean when you say "holding the mouse down always scrolls down"?

A single click in the scrollbar, above the thumb, will scroll one page up, just as expect. However, hold the mouse down, and suddenly the scrolling behaves as though the mouse is below the scroll thumb.

That behavior is user settable in the System Preferences under Appereance . Clicking in the scroll bar either jumps to the next page or jumps to the spot that's clicked. I've always set my to the later,easier to get through big files but I just tried it the other way, jump to next page, and I'm still not seeing a problem. A click above goes back one page a click below goes forward. Hold the mouse down and it continuously jumps one page at a time in the proper direction until the thumb meets the mouse pointer then it stops.

I don't recall from your earlier posts did you state your hardware/software setup? I I'm using a magic mouse, iMac, 10.6.7, with magicprefs installed (but not set to do anything to weird)

You're not really running 10.3 are you? You should update your profile makes it easier for folks to help if we know the hardware/software you're using.

.

Ah yes, I see that behavior now if I click and hold. But as Frank notes, I see it related to Sys Prefs -- with my Appearance pref set to "Jump to the next page" but not if I have it set to "Jump to the spot that's clicked". (Which sounds different to what Frank is seeing.) Do you see this Rob-k?

Appreciate your input, but I don't think you're understanding what the issue is. I understand the two scrolling behavior choices you mention, but that is not the issue at all.

Put it this way, with a window scrolled down just enough to expose the scrollbar above the scrolling thumb, from the top of the scroll bar, I can make the window scroll all the way to the bottom. It is behaving perfectly opposite of what is normal. Scrolling behavior in the other direction, down, is completely normal.

I do understand what you're saying. What I am saying is I am not seeing the behavior you are seeing.

If I switch my scroll system preferences to *jump to next page* (which is your setting, correct?) and I go into Aperture and I hold the mouse either over or under the thumb the window moves in the correct direction. continuously until the thumb and mouse pointer meet and then it stops.
If I bring the thumb all the way to the top, click once below it to open up one page worth of space above the thumb and then put the pointer above the thumb in that itty bitty little space and hold the mouse down it goes to the top and stops.

What is your pointing device and hardware btw?

Now Clem is saying he is seeing your behavior so it might be a OS, hardware, pointing device related thing.

Hmmn, yeah could be another element is influencing it - don't see it on Leopard, but when I do see it, it isn't new to 3.1.2, I see it with my older archive copies of Aperture as well.

Just got it to happen here. If I turn on *smooth scrolling* I get the behavior of the OP only, it seems, in Aperture.

Good lesson here when describing a problem the more information that can be supplied the more likely someone will be able to help.

I wonder if this has anything to do with the upcoming change to the window scrolling convention that will occur in Lion. Perhaps someone was testing the new scroll behavior out and forgot to reset it 😉

Just have to re-train myself to only single click for up.

If you turn off *smooth scrolling* in systems preferences then you'll get the correct behavior until the bug is fixed.

BTW have you reported this to Apple? *Aperture->Provide Aperture Feedback*.
