Description of the issue: As of now i’m running Fedora (Linux) on my Lenovo ThinkPad T14s
I’ve been distrohopping for quite a while, recently i’ve been on Pop, Ubuntu, Zorin and more.
Decided to try Brave, everything is absolutely great - except that my scrolling speed is so fast and accelerates like crazy? I tried downloading Firefox on my PC, to see if the browser was the issue. It seems like it, since my scrolling speed and acceleration is completely fine and normal on Firefox? How can this issue be reproduced?
Chromium on Wayland uses a different scroll method where it reads raw libinput events directly instead of the reading GNOME/GTK scroll stack like Firefox does it. Very strange issue and there doesn’t seem to be a simple fix.
There are fixes to reduce the scrollspeed on Gnome, however those will be system-wide.
I wonder if it’s sped up now, since I think Chromium made a fix when scrolling was slowed down some builds ago. Sounds like that initial issue was fixed, but then the patch to fix it, sped it up too fast.
Yes, Chromium does indeed do it differently on Wayland vs Firefox, I’m glad you mentioned that @Stensel8 . You are very right.
[M146] Ignore first momentum event when updating scroll velocity
Original change’s description:
Ignore first momentum event when updating scroll velocity
When transitioning between non-momentum and momentum scroll events, macOS sometimes sends the first momentum event very shortly after the previous event.
This first momentum event can have a scroll delta much greater than we would expect relative to the time delta relative to the previous event.
Because of this, we ignore the first event to avoid giving the scroll entry a much higher scroll velocity than appropriate for a given scroll motion.
Anybody knows a solution for ubuntu?
i’m using HP with ubuntu and its too fast to scroll with trackpad, almost 2/3 shorts at a time.
happening only inside brave, other apps are fine
