Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
Scrolling on the trackpad in preview is occasionally freezing following OSX Mavericks install. I am only experiencing this in preview whilst scrolling through PDF's. Wondering if anyone else is having this problem? Using a MBPR 2012 with 16gb RAM so unlikely to be related to any hardware insufficency.
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mavericks (10.9)
that didn't fix the problem for me. Still unresponsive trackpad scrolling in preview app occassionally. Any other ideas?
Thanks mjs0201. It worked for me too. Didn't even need to reboot machine. Just quit and relaunched preview and all hunky dory. Thanks!
This issue is not resolved for many people. Trackpad freezes regularly making it very irritating to read pdf documents, sometimes having to wait several second for it to wake up. How it is possible that Apple cannot fix this, when they are the ones that broke it in the first place I really don't know.
I just bought my MacBook Pro 2 days ago and the vert scroll jamming just started happening for me - these are some clues, not sure what they mean but.... Vert scroll jams only on Firefox, also I had just added some Add Ons (before in Firefox w/ no add ons scroll was fine) and only in Google docs, other sites in Firefox scrolling fine. When I opened my G-docs in Safari, I had no problem with the vert scroll - I also tried many of the fixes this thread has suggested.
Update - I figured out part of the glitch, it will only vert scroll G-docs in Firefox if I hover the cursor over the scroll bar, it should scroll if you hover the cursor anwhere the doc. Ugh.

THIS IS NOT INTENDED FOR "BUGGY/LAGGY" ISSUES. THIS HELPED ME WHEN TRACKPAD + ALL GESTURES ARE WORKING EXCEPT SCROLL. Hope it helps

100% agree with you. To be honest, I am quite disillusioned with Apple, more precisely with OS X. I have other machines running on W7 and Linux (Ubuntu) but by buying the Mac, I was hoping to get the best debugged and most-advanced OS/machine. However, lots of disappointments so far. I have never experienced so many troubles with ordinary apps such as Firefox, TrueCrypt and others when using them on daily basis. And even Apple's own apps like Preview... The apps behave differently from W7/Ubuntu when used on my Mac and the trackpad hard times I have experienced so far when using the Firefox browser, Preview and even PowerPoint simply drive me crazy!
