Macbook Pro Scrolling Speed

After the update from A14 to A15 the 2 finger scrolling speed on my Macbook Pro's track pad has greatly increased. In A14 and earlier it worked just fine. Now moving my fingers 1-2 inches will cause A15 to scroll multiple chapters and sometimes books. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

Same here...though I didn't consider it much of a problem. Better than the little bit of lag I was seeing before.

I have this issue too. I also use a Magic Mouse and it has similar behavior.

Me too, and it's with either the trackpad or an external (non-apple) mouse scrollwheel.

I was thinking of reporting this today - but you fellows beat me to it.

I think the problem is that the speed is proportional to the size of the resource - it may be that the Logos team will need to produce some special handling in order to get it under control.

Using these large books is a pretty unique thing and generally we don't want to scroll quickly from Isaiah to Corinthians and a little finesse would be appreciated.

Same here. It's a real problem for reading Bible passages. I'm often several chapters away from where I should be. This is an A15 issue. It was fine in A14.

Same for me. Mac mouse with scroll ball in particular.

Ditto. And it has a LOT of momentum. I scroll a bit, and 3 seconds later it stops scrolling on-screen.

I am having a problem with it too. I would like to see it like it was in A14 or if there were a way you could designate the faster scroll when it was needed and the slower scroll as the default.

Our bad. We tweaked the scrolling to fix the "no scrolling in resources at small font sizes" and to match the Windows code, but obviously the old way was preferable for Mac users. We'll get it fixed up for the next Alpha.

Tom - when you go back to the previous code - you are not going to take away the Space Bar Scroll feature as well right? The Space Bar Scrolling is a great feature - please don't remove that in the process.

Thanks

Like Michael, I experienced a lot of lag in scrolling with previous Alphas. In previous versions, if I scrolled down one clicks worth on my mouse wheel (if that makes sense), nothing happened. I had to scroll significantly on my wheel in order to have the resource scroll down at all. Lots of lag. In A15 there is still a little more lag than in other programs, but it is more responsive than in previous Alphas (ie, I can move it one scroll wheel click).

I think the problem comes in that Magic Mice and trackpads on MacBooks allow much finer granularity than a scroll wheel. I'm going to look into this today. Fortunately, I have a Dell mouse with a scroll wheel and a Magic Mouse attached to my Mac Pro as well as my MacBook with a trackpad to test on. I plan to test the scrolling for all cases and come up with an acceptable compromise.

Thanks Tom, that would be great as I also use my Macbook Pro with a logitech mouse and then with the trackpad sometimes.

Tom - just so you know - the problems exists on a Mouse with the Scroll Wheel - I'm using a Microsoft Mouse with Scroll Wheel and the problem persists with either Trackpad Scrolling and Mouse with Wheel.

Do you think it might be related to the Space Bar Scroll in combination wit the recent changes?

Nope. Pretty sure it's just scrolling with the wheel or the trackpad. I've tweaked it back for the next Alpha, so space bar should still be fine and track pad/scroll wheel scrolling should be comparable to pre-A15 scrolling

Excellent! looking forward to it.

Thanks.
