How can I Diagnose Scrolling Issues?
by MarjaE from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6QRKG)
I sometime encounter inertial scrolling in Xreader, on Cinnamon with desktop effects disabled, on Fedora. Inertial scrolling, smooth scrolling, etc. give me motion sickness and migraines.
I used to encounter inertial scrolling in Software, too.
How do I find out if this is a bug with Xreader, Cinnamon, Fedora, Xinput, or something else?
Xreader and Evince share this bug. jumpdf seems to suffer the same bug, among others. But qpdfview does not. There's a 10-year-old bug regarding inertial scrolling in Evince: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evince/-/issues/469 asking for a key option to stop inertial scrolling, which suggests that the bug already existed.
I can't use xinput to set my mouse settings in Gnome Classic, and I just can't use Gnome Even-More-Animation, so I don't see a way to test whether it's a Cinnamon vs. Gnome issue.
I can't use Wayland unless and until I can set my mouse settings in it, so I don't see a way to test whether it'd an xinput vs. Wayland issue. P.S. I tried using these instructions, with button number 274 based on evtest, but ,y mouse settings still aren't working in Wayland, and neither are keyboard shortcuts. https://gitlab.com/mate.soos/libinpu...a-mouse-button
