Q: 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

 

Glenn.

    Hi,

     

    I have extreme scrolling speeds in Adobe After effects and Premiere.
    It is nearly impossible to work at the moment.. and I also have scrolling speeds down to minimum on settings which are so deeply hidden.. why not just add scrolling speed to mouse settings page?
    I'm using apple magic mouse and MBP.

    I, and many others, are having issue with scrolling behavior in MacOS Sierra.  The issue seems to only be with 3rd party apps. 

    I have opened a case to with Tier 2 in AppleCare, and suggest doing the same, so that Apple Engineering can be made aware of the issue.

    The only solution I have seen so far is people getting this program that I think is called "USB Overdrive" or something. I don't understand why the scrolling had to change though; it was just fine before. I'd rather Apple fix this rather than download some other fix. I'll wait a little, but I suppose I'll have to do what I have to do.

    Reports from users of 10.12.1 Public Beta 4 are that the issue has been fixed (in the applications they're seeing it in).  The Official 10.12.1 update should fix it for all users, once released.

    This is known issue for all Java/Swing applications. Some Java applications have workarounds for this. I've found one for IntelliJ IDEA here: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-158500 . JetBrains has prepare their own fixed version of JDK to make this work correctly.

    Not entirely sure this is what you are describing but I was myself disturbed by a "strange scroll" just after upgrade to Sierra.

    Turned out the "with ineria" scroll had been automatically checked after upgrading.

    I didn't know about this option before but found it Preferences / Accessibility / Mouse and trackpad / mouse options.

    I unchecked the option and the scroll went back to the behaviour I had before upgrade.
