The fixes don't work. What you're finding are people who tend to be the loudest voice on a forum, telling other people to do elaborate things to "fix" this problem. Restarting your computer fixes it.MIDI Life Crisis wrote:I'm not seeing scrolling issues in Mavericks. I Googled it and found several "fixes."
For about 10 minutes. Maybe an hour or even an entire session if you don't happen to hit any of the triggers.
Then it goes back to its behavior after certain triggers. Side-scrolling and page turning (forward/back, previous/next) are major triggers.
So, pay no attention to the fixes. I've thought of many of them myself, and tried them. Trust me... they don't work. This is an OS problem. If those fixes worked, it would imply certain things about the problems. Everyone would be having them, and they'd have been present in previous OS's. The problems are not due to something a user is doing wrong or neglecting to do, nor is it due to settings. (if it were due to settings, then that would be a bug, as well, since the settings are there to be used)
I've been up one side of this thing and down the other, and it's not a user-created problem, and therefore is not user-fixable. This is Apple's problem, and if you read those threads you will find a lot of savvy people who will tell you the same thing that I'm saying. Meanwhile, you'll always find someone who insists that zapping the P-RAM will fix it. One such guy, who calls himself John Galt (which also says certain things about him), went on from P-RAM to suggesting that people completely re-install the OS, and that they remove all the "crap" installations from their drives. Of course, crap installations are any apps that he doesn't like. No, I don't have time for people like that who just keep you busy with absolutely no data to show that it really works.
This is an Apple problem. Apple will fix it.
I don't think so. I'm using other devices for testing purposes. It happens regardless of what I use. Also, I can turn off JiTouch, and it'll happen anyway. In any case, there are hundreds of posts about it, and maybe thousands. (I've only looked at about a half-dozen threads, and each has dozens of people reporting the same problem.)MIDI Life Crisis wrote:I also wonder if it's more prominent on the Magic Trackpad than other pointing devices?
People are just beginning to figure this out.
