Problem scrolling in WebBrowser after Mavericks upgrade?

Go to System Preferences and click trackpad. Under trackpad select more gestures, and deselect the option swipe between pages.

It fixed that bug for me.

I'm hitting the same problem, but it also affects Safari for me. With Safari, it locks up the entire tab for me, unlike in Chrome where the tab is still usable. greg2008200's suggestion works around the problem, but it's highly annoying not having finger swiping to navigate back and forth.

I just did a reboot of my macbook, and the problem went away.

I also had this same problem and under system preferences click on "General", then select (under Scroll Bars) "Always". This fixed my problem and the scroll bar is always present!

This is happenng in Chrome and Safari, maybe somthing todo with WebKit & the new speed scrolling I read about.

Quitting the application and reopening, both Chrome & Safari fixes the problem.

@grandmastershu - Of course, reboot also fixes it, but only for a short time.

Also - the bug doesn't appear imediatly after the first gesture to go back & forth between pages - for me I can use the back/forth a number of times and then it fails.

I experianced the issue within 5 min of opening a new MacBook Pro last night - the first thing I did was install chrome. As soon as I discovered the issue I swapped back to safari and within another 5 mins safari exhibited the same issues.

I'm going to try to disable the Apple gestures, and give BTT (Better Touch Tool) ago see if that fixes the issues.

Note - I alreaady have BTT installed - for window snapping. But the problems were in existance before starting BTT.

Having disabled the native gestures, enabled BTT gestures and tested by jumping between 10/15 pages in Safari & Chrome the scrolling is no longer an issue.

I noticed that when the bug occoured the rendering of the page would always exhibit some rendering glytches at the moment scrolling stoped functioning.

For example, a slice of the brushed metal bg would be visible on one of the sides depending on the direction of the swipe.

Or the part of the ciruclar popup that appears for user feedback on either side of the page remains - again at that moment the scrolling would stop functioning.

Note - BTT doesn't have eaither of user UX Feedback as I've maped the keyboard binding to the gestures, as below

Chrome & Safari -

Two Finger Swipe Right - ⌘[

Two Finger Swipe Left - ⌘]

On a side note - I always find it very annoying that finder doesnt support the native Back / Forth gestures.

By adding the same gestures to the Finder Application, in BTT, you'll have back & forth gestures in Finder.

Scrolling is laggy throughout the entire OS. It's really bothering me after i upgraded to Mavericks..mcbook acting very poor performance.

I'm not seeing any lagg on scrolling - althought I exchanged my MBP yesterday for another with more RAM, so Mavericks came installed.

I'm having scrolling and swipe gesture issues in Chrome, Safari, and Calendar... Safari freezes up when trying to swipe between pages, Chrome and Calendar periodically stop responding to scrolling gesture.

I can turn on scroll bar always and disable swipe to scroll and swipe to change pages as a pseudo-fix, but doesn't that defeat the purpose of using 'the worlds most advanced operating system'?

I love the improvements in Mavericks, and it's great that it's free, but this needs to be fixed.

Same problem with scrolling: Swiping the trackpad in Safari to go back a page locks up the program--reload or forward/backward arrows in upper left don't work and have to quit the program.

Using the trackpad to scroll in Firefox works once and then doesn't work at all, though using arrow keys to go up and down still does.

SOLUTION FOUND:

Go to System Preferences—>General and under Show Scroll Bars click either "always" or "when scrolling". Other people said clicking "always" works. "When scrolling" worked for me and solved both problems.

Did you try rebooting your computer? I did that, and it fixed the problem for me, and I didn't need to modify any settings in System Preferences.

Yes, I did. Didn't solve the problem for me. Rebooted several times when Safari hung. Maybe a reboot took you back to the scroll bar setting you had before the upgrade? Don't know. Just know mine worked. What was your setting for 'Show Scroll Bars' before the upgrade, do you know?

Thanks.

Unfortunately I don't 😟. I never changed it, so it was probably whatever the default setting was for Lion. Post-upgrade it's set to "automatically based on mouse or trackpad".

So if you just change it to 'always' or 'when scrolling' it will (I hope) solve the problem.
