Trackpad scrolling in fullscreen

Scrivener Scrivener for macOS
1

This is a bit odd: When I enter fullscreen mode with typewriter scrolling turned off and no scrollbar, I cannot scroll with my trackpad. If I turn typewriter scrolling on and off, it works again; it also works if I have any kind of scroller turned on (but I don’t want to). The scroll buttons on my external trackball work like normal, so it only seems to affect the trackpad.

I use Scrivener 2.2 and Snow Leopard 10.6.8 on a MacBook.

This is a known bug in OS X, I’m afraid - trackpad scrolling doesn’t always work when there is no scroller at all. To work around it, just choose one of the auto-hiding scroller types, such as the monochrome one. That will never appear unless you hover the mouse over the scroll area.

All the best,
Keith

Ah, that’s a shame. Thanks!
