Given that every way of doing it suffers the same problem, Maybe its the touchpad drivers itself (is it a touchpad?). Perhaps something is also send a WM_SCROLL type message to the window directly. XMBC (and I presume the others) uses a mouse hook to intercept WM_WHEELSCROLL messages which are usually sent by the device driver. Maybe there is something sending the 'wrong' type of scroll message. When I was using autohotkey, I would frequently get messages of hundreds of instances of it being called every second. The effect is that the affected window contents just rapidly vibrates up and down. In other words, an XMBC reverse scroll direction feature sends a command for an 'up scroll' and something else is sending a contradictory command for 'down scroll'. It's almost as if the change is 'fighting' a configuration at a much deeper level. In all instances, when I change the scroll direction from default to natural, any scrolling action begins 'vibrating' the window contents up and down very rapidly. I've tried manually with Regedit, changing FlipFlopScroll and FlipFlopWheel. Problem: I want to enable 'natural' scrolling with the Lenovo Trackpoint Keyboard VII. VS Code has given me so much, I'm happy to help in any way I can.Lenovo Trackpoint Keyboard VII with middle button depress for trackpoint scrolling Please let me know if I can submit a performance profile or otherwise. I've noted others reporting similar behavior here and here.Īdditionally, scrolling using two fingers on the touchpad works completely fine. I tried some of the solutions for scrolling with a Dell Precision touchpad (window.smoothScrollingWorkaround, and changing window size), but they had no effect. The document may scroll a few pixels a second, it is very difficult to move.īumping 'editor.mouseWheelScrollSensitivity' to 50 (or greater) does give some movement. When scrolling using the trackpoint (pointing stick) and middle mouse button in VS Code, the document will move jerkily the first second, and then stop scrolling. Scrolling works as expected in other programs like Firefox, terminals, etc.

It has not been an issue on the same machine using the linux build. I first noticed this issue when installing VS Code on my Windows 7 machine. Using a trackpoint, hover the cursor over the text, hold the middle mouse button, and direct the trackpoint down.ĭoes this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes.

Create or open text file long enough to require a vertical scrollbar.
