I'm having difficulty to scroll the window content of the Script editor in macOS (LiveCode 8.1 Indy), it scroll too match with a single swipe and don't follow the scroll when moving the finger over the mouse or trackpad. Is this something that somebody experienced and maybe fix or it's just me?

Hi Mag,

Best regards

OK, I think I understand something more about the problem, it seems that is related with the Apple's Magic Mouse, using a a Logitech USB it seems all work better (but not in a very standard way, the scroll at each wheel movement is a bit too much).

Have you played with the settings in the "Accessibilty" pane? I mean in the mouse and trackpad section, in the "more options" (sheesh), which allows you to set the scroll speed.

Hi Craig, thank you for the tip, to tell the true, with other apps, the scroll works fine. The only problem I have noticed is with LiveCode 8.1 and 8.1.1 (beta 1).

I also use a magic mouse and it is far too sensitive. Even a short touch can cause the editor to scroll wildly. This also came up on the mailing list a while ago.
There isn't a good fix.
There is an OS extension called MagicPrefs that lets you customize many things about the Magic Mouse. I use it to reduce the swipe area so that an accidental touch does not cause scrolling. You might be able to find some settings that will help, it can control speed as well.

Hi Jacque, Ok, I installed MagicPrefs thank you for the advice.
PS
After some test I switched back to Logitech mouse. I think that LiveCode don't use the native macOS scrolling, it seemt to me that it don't follow continuously the scroll but instead it just performs repeatedly some discrete scrolling portions, so until something changes in the LC engine we don't have a correct scroll.
