Hi,
I have a relatively minor but super annoying bug. Basically, whenever I:
operate in two-editor mode, with the two editors split vertically
try to two-finger scroll (using a magic trackpad on a mac),
the intended editor scrolls, BUT
the other, non-selected editor also scrolls a bit. And when it scrolls, the primary editor does not.
This is annoying mainly because it makes it very hard to scroll in the intended window.
By the way: I assume this has something to do with the fact that this happens largely when I am working on an external monitor. A large external monitor (a 39 inch Seiki 4k tv). Maybe it’s a matter of the app losing track of where my cursor is?
This is as far as I know an Apple bug that appeared in 10.9 (maybe 10.8, it’s been a while). It seems to be a problem with “inertia”, the bit that makes it so you can swipe quickly and it keeps scrolling as though the content has “mass”. I’ve noticed a correlation between that and random other split views suddenly deciding to scroll as well (usually not as much, and sometimes only after I’ve hit the top/bottom of the view I meant to scroll). I haven’t noticed it in 10.10, but I also have not been using an external monitor with 10.10 as the computer with the screen is still 10.9—so perhaps if that factor is involved, that is why.
I have been experiencing the above mentioned phenomena with inertia scrolling in split screen mode and it is driving me nuts. I’m on OSX El Capitan 10.11.5. Does anyone - please please pretty please - have a solution or workaround for this?
I’m cutting and pasting between drafts for a rewrite (on strict deadline) and this phenomena is really breaking up my workflow. Suggestions?
You just made a whole big happy thing happen for me AmberV. Really appreciate it. Can’t tell you how much more efficient this make the rewrite process I’m in. Now, back to the deadline.
