Trackpad keeps scrolling down

[jonhanson]

Hi,

Whenever i do a mouse-click and hold with the track pad (i.e. a double click and hold down) on a vertical scrollbar, after a slight delay the scrollbar starts slowly scrolling downwards.This doesn’t happen if i use the left button below the trackpad. I find this incredibly annoying; any idea how i switch it off?

thanks,
jon

There are several different options you can play with in the Synaptics Touchpad properties to set different scrolling properties.

Start > Control Panel > Mouse > Device Settings > Settings

Most likey cause of what you describe would be Virtual Scrolling. You can enable/disable this feature from the Synaptics Properties.

It may also be something to do with the “coasting” feature under “long distance scrolling”.

Try playing with the settings, I’m sure you’ll find a configuration that works for you.

Hi,

Thanks fo the info, however i’ve tried disabling Virtual Scrolling to no avail. None of the other settings seem to configure this behaviour either. I’ll see if the Synaptics site has any clues.

I have installed the 2 finger scrolling and have noticed the same thing as you. I disabled momentum and glide but sometimes it just keeps scrolling down. Ill let you know if I find anything…
