Remove Scroll Bouncing in Lion

Alex,

Thanks for the reply. That just indeed *****. I've been a Mac user for 15+ years and haven't owned a PC since I bought my first Mac. I haven't really had any complaints until this latest release. I've converted several people from PC users to Mac.

Since I don't use Safari, iTunes is really my only problem with bounce/rubber band scrolling. I guess I'll keep my fingers crossed that the next upgrade gets rid of the problem!

Thanks again,

Denise

Awesome Király!

It just irritates me to no end that we have to go to these lengths to restore the OS to what was once tbe standard behavour.

Mind if I ask how you found that out? I have other irritations with Mountain Lion defaults that I'd love to find out how to disable.

Check out Király's answer right above your post!!!!

Can't remember. I read about it somewhere. It took a lot of Googling.

Best to start a new thread in the ML forum for your other questions.

Robert, thanks for sharing. In that line, I think you might enjoy this little product I did for Verizon to help make their cable TV service: https://vimeo.com/48611766

A once again happy Mac user!

Cross-post: I just figured out the best way to completely eliminate this horrible UI behavior: get a new mouse. The rubber band thing appears to only happen when you're using a track-pad or similar. The magic mouse touch surface works like a track-pad. Ditch that sucker, go get a traditional mouse with scroll-wheel, rubber-banding is gone!!!!! Also the super distracting and annoying sideways scrolling that you can't turn off is also gone. I may finally upgrade from 10.6.8 now that I've found a solution.
