Hello,
I have been facing an issue since I updated to the latest beta version. Scrolling randomly stops working until I left my fingers off the trackpad and then scroll again.
I'm not sure if this is a bug related to the latest version, or it is a hardware issue.
Any one having similar behavior?
You're a Genius!!! Disabling low power mode fixed the issue for me. Thanks so much jgdavies!!
I have the exact same problem and I'm on 12.1 (21C52). This issue is so annoying... I'm planning to go to my old MacBook Air 2015. There are no new updates... Is a brand new MacBook M1 Pro 2021
Monterey's mouse sliding is also dead as a doornail.
MacOS now has two mouse scrolling performances, one in Chrome or any electron app, and one in native apps and systems. The former is silky with pleasant acceleration, while the latter is painfully damped. I don't know what happened in the development of the new system.
It seems that the scrolling inertia setting for native apps is locked in. For example, by turning off "inertia" in preferences, the inertia of native apps remains unchanged, only changed in Chrome.
I sincerely hope that this problem can be checked by Apple. Now macOS is not as cute to me as it used to be.
For a quick look at this problem, compare scrolling performances in vscode and in Mail app.
I use Magic Mouse 2, Monterey 12.1, MacBook Air with M1 chip.
Apple please, do something with Viber scrolling.
Hello,
I wrote to Viber and they sent me this version link: Mac: https://vb.me/b1f2ed
It solved my Viber scrolling issues on trackpad. Regards Zoltan
Problem persists still in Chrome and Safari using Monterery 12.1 (21C52) on MacBook Pro M1 (2020 version).
Scroll bars disappear, initially with otherwise intact scrolling functionality (- ie using two fingers on track-pad), then window freezes completely un-scrollable a few minutes later, albeit cursor retaining other track-pad driven functionality (clicking etc).
At this point, scrolling function (two fingers on track-pad) is restored by a restart, and scroll bars then reappear temporarily, only to disappear when fingers removed from track-pad. Placing of cursor over position of invisible scrollbar 'thumb' does not restore their visible presence, but application of two fingers to track-pad does do so. Positioning of cursor over 'thumb' will move then move both scrollbar thumb and scroll page (in old fashioned way). Further freezes occur periodically, when scrolling function becomes entirely refractory to two fingers on track pad again and further reboot necessary.
So this problem's at least four months old. Why is it being neglected?
Intermittent scrolling problems on new MBP 14" running 12.2.1. Scrolling gestures don't always register, very irritating. Some tap to click / selecting issues too - doesn't register, cursor jumps etc. Turning off inertia seems to fix the scrolling, but I want to use inertia!
It is not just the built in trackpad - I connected a Magic Trackpad (series 1) and the problem was the same. I do not have the issue when using that same trackpad on a Big Sur M1 Mac Mini.
I have a brand new Macbook Pro 14 that came with 12.1 and it still shows this issue. Scrolling just stops working, typically need to click the window to get it to scroll again, until it stops again. Rinse and repeat
same problem on mba m1 Monterey 12.3.1. when two finger up scroll jumps
Just would like to add to the comments that disabling low power mode fixed this issue for me on m1 pro 14inch as well. was almost ready to send unit to apple service.
To solve the problem - turn off this option.
But it is a bug and this should be fixed by developers
I've disabled Low power mode and Optimise video streaming while on battery from System Preferences -> Battery and It works for me.
Turning off low power mode on battery seemed to fix this for me
Why is this STILL NOT FIXED?
I've just bought a brand new MB Pro M1 14-inch, running Monterey 12.5 and when scrolling continuously, it will just stop and ignore my finger swipes every 5 seconds or so.
This occurs on ALL applications, not just Chrome or Safari.
FIX THIS ISSUE!!!
I purchased the 2021 MB Pro M1 Pro and it had an early version of Monterrey without this bug. The moment I upgraded MACOS this bug occurred and I was forced to downgrade the OS to 12.0.1 (I think it was but something early) This was back in December 2021! At the time I tried everything at a huge waste of time including wiping the HD, reset anything possible on the mac, upgrading to beta versions, nothing worked. Only on the OS the mac was shipped with does the bug NEVER occur.
So I am busy and have no time and I wasted over 2o hours on this so for the past 14 months I kept the original OS and worked with my Mac as is. This is a $3500 Mac I spent my hard earned money on obviously...
No 14 months later I made sure I had a time machine backup, upgraded to the latest version of Ventura, and the bug is back. I am now forced to downgrade to an OS version that is out of date by almost 1.5 years.
How can this bug not be fixed yet and why is it effecting only some of us? It must be a hardware issue. I happens on all apps,. Scroll suddenly doesn't work and I need to release my fingers from the trackpad or magic mouse to scroll again. After computer restart the bug doesn't exist until it goes into sleep and wakes up, it ALWAYS wakes up with the bug.
It is sooo annoying, it is not possible to work this way.
