From: kquirici on 3 Jul 2010 15:24 Hi, I'm not sure what it's called, but probably NOT smooth scrolling. In any event, I'd like scrolling to not accelerate as you continue to scroll with the arrow in a scroll bar (or maybe even by clicking in the scroll bar between the arrow and the little cursor thing). I seem to vaguely remember back when I had my OS9 Mac there was a program that would set this up. Now I'm running Snow Leopard (10.6.whatever). Is there some way to do this? Regards, Ken Quirici

I have smooth scrolling checked and in appleworks, doing a drawing, it still accelerates scrolling both left/right and up/down. Regards, Ken Quirici

If you mean the continued motion of the scroll bar after you stop scrolling, then you mean "momentum," and _that_ is set in the Mouse prefs. -- iMac (27", 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB RAM, 1 TB HDD) � OS X (10.6.3) |
