The scroll behavior isn't smooth after updating to macOS Sierra

After the update to macOS Sierra the scroll-behavior changed, does anyone have same experiences?


I still can scroll trough any webpage without problems. I mean scrolling with 2 fingers on the touch-pad or scroll with the magic mouse gesture.


BUT: When trying to scroll slowly through large lists of selections, the touch just responses on fast movements, not on slow changes.


Steps to reproduce:


Open an website like twitter and go the preferences. Go to the time-zone list, open it and scroll through it. Can you move the cursor line by line?


You also can move to http://www.doyouspain.com/mietwagen/ , select an country like spain an try to scroll SLOWLY through the list.


(I just found: the operating system list at the end of this page shows the same misbehavior)


I found this behaviors using "Parallels Desktop". I can't scroll through documents any more like before the update.

MacBook Pro, macOS Sierra (10.12)

Hello !

Please open accessibility , to increase the scrolling speed move the slider from slow towards fast ( left to right ) .

A screen shot for reference.

Hi! I know how the scrolling should work. Everything is fine on regular webpages, document, etc.


What I mean is the scrolling in pop-over lists - see my screenshot. (taken from http://www.doyouspain.com/mietwagen/)


It's fine working with FAST movements - but not when trying to scroll line by line to select a row.

I try to explain what i mean...User uploaded file


I open a webpage, and then there is a picking control with a long list of choices.


If I scroll trough a webpage, it's fast and smooth and real "Apple-like". But the picking-control is behaving in a different way. I can't scroll slow, and line by line, i can do fast scrolling and picking an item with the mouse, but i can't scroll with the highlighted value under my cursor. Easy selecting he next value.

Ok, found out that this behavior happens in other apps, too:


e.g. in Affinity, when selecting a font.


I can scroll through the list and pick one value with one finger, but in the past I opened the list (dropdown) and kept my cursor in one row, scrolling with two fingers up and down until the right value was under the cursor.


When i try it now, the list doesn't move or moves more than one line.
