Smooth Scrolling Default

Postby pocketdrummer » Tue Jun 05, 2012 5:34 am

I can't stand smooth scrolling. I think this should be left off by default since it seems to slow the browser down (perception, not actual), and that doesn't jive with the essence of Pale Moon, IMHO.

I'm working on improving the responsiveness and configurability of smooth scrolling to be released in 12.2 - there have been some holdups because of website/forum hosting issues but I should be able to get back to this very soon.

I like the present setup speed in smooth scrolling. Of course, one small turn of the mouse wheel equals 18 lines and it's fast enough for me.

For most people it's set to 3 lines, which makes it important to have slightly less of a delay by default.

+1 for disabling smooth scroll by default.

Just wait until release of 12.2, it'll be a lot better with the default settings, and you get all the controls you want for enabling/disabling smooth scrolling for different things, as well as full control over the timings.
