Swiping in Safari just "bounces"

Question

Swiping in Safari just "bounces"

This is just driving me crazy.

Installed Lion and all seemed well.

I have a MPB 2008 with a Magic Mouse.

When I am browsing in Safari (and anywhere else for that matter), if I scroll down and move just a little bit to the right or left then the page "giggles" back and forth and bounces on the edge of the screen. Extremely annoying. If I go to Mouse Preferences and turn off gestures, I STILL get the behaviour. If I go to UA, fourth tab "Mouse and Trackpad" and click on Mouse Options and deselect "scrolling" then I don't bounce around, but I can no longer use the MM to scroll.

Can anyone help me?

Please!

2.66GHz Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.6)

Nope. I sure wish I could find an answer, though.

Try going to the Universal Access system preferences, to the "Mouse and Trackpad" section, and then click the "Trackpad options" button. In here, change the "Scrolling" option to "without inertia," and see if that helps prevent pages from bouncing around. The page will still nudge past its extents if you scroll in that direction.

I set the Scrolling option to "without inertia", but I'm not sure that it has solved the problem I have. If I spread my fingers just a little bit while scrolling, the contents of the window, especially in Safari, expand, and then a mouse click is not recognized. I have to jiggle the the contents just a bit to get it to a size where the mouse click is recognized.

Topher,

That did it.

Thanks!
