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)

So your saying the only way we can fix our mouse is to install a piece of software that costs money?? This is unacceptable. I use my scroll constantly for my work and need the ability to scroll smoothly. I can only get things to scroll when moving it fast. Moving it slow does nothing! MAC please fix this issue or give us a solution that doesn't cost money to get this fixed! I absolutely am not able to use your new version sierra with my mouse functioning like this.

sorry, I wasn't aware I was suggesting paid software. only today did I find out it was only a trial when it said the trial was running out soon. So... will have to find a different fix. sure would be nice if scrolling just worked like it should.

Thank you for pasting in the links. That said, if you read the discussion, you will find that Apple settings do not resolve the problem with mouse scrolling described in this discussion.
