Mouse scroll speed in Sierra

Since installing Sierra beta (5) and today the GM the scroll function of both the magic mouse and trackpad are accelerated to an unusable level on some apps.


I have noticed it with VLC (Adjusting the volume) and Minecraft (Scrolling through items).


I have adjusted it down to the lowest scrolling speed in the "Accessibility" section in System Preferences.


I don't really use other apps so it is unusual that it is causing issues with two unrelated applications. It doesn't seem to be an issue within the MacOS (i.e. scrolling in Safari is fine as is Chrome - but these are windows which might be different.)


Do other see this issue?

Is it a MacOS issue or something the developers of the apps need to resolve?


TIA

Have InDesign CS6, got a new iMac retina, and the Magic Mouse acts wildly unstable with everything. Especially the zoom, and text blocks "disappearing" after being clicked on. (turned a Layer on and off to bring the view back). Can't select a typeface- except once or twice when you can. Found workaround to all of it, but Magic Mouse was basically unusable.


Got a logictech scroll mouse, which did help on the zoom, but not much else. Got an Apple wired mouse with the tiny scroll bar which seemed to work best of the three, but... everything took 12 times longer and I had to safe after every single change.
