![]() It's specifically trackpad/Magic Mouse reversing that is now not working. However, neither of them can distinguish the Magic Mouse from the trackpad - that has always been Scroll Reverser's speciality. I do not plan do do any more work on Scroll Reverser unless this situation is resolved.Ī note on alternative apps: MOS and UnnaturalScrollWheels are excellent alternatives to Scroll Reverser that reverse wheel mouse scrolling independently of the trackpad. If anyone has any technical info on all this, or solutions, please let me know. Speculatively, this is something to do with recent work done to to improve Safari scrolling on ProMotion displays.)įor now we wait and see if the changes in 12.2 were an unintentional bug, or if this is the way it is now. That means whatever Scroll Reverser does, it can't reverse the momentum part of the scroll, which is giving the "snap back" effect. (It seems Safari is ignoring the direction of the scrolling event input during the momentum phase of the scroll, and instead it is deriving it from some other source. I have not been able to find any way to modify Scroll Reverser to overcome this problem. The problem does not occur with scroll wheel devices. The effect is a kind of "snap back" where the scrolling direction flips, as if it fighting you. ![]() On macOS Monterey 12.2, Scroll Reverser is not working in Safari when using smooth scrolling devices - that is, trackpads and the Magic Mouse. Scroll Reverser isn't working in Safari and there is no fix. In addition to being more flexible, such a settings interface would actually make configuring Scroll Reverser less confusing-between Lion’s own scroll-direction setting, Scroll Reverser’s main on/off setting, and the various settings for directions and device types, sometimes figuring out the right combination of settings to get your desired results feels like an LSAT question.I've just added the following update to the main README and website: For example, the non-Multi-Touch trackpads on older Mac laptops are treated as mice, rather than trackpads, as are the trackpads on some third-party keyboards with built-in trackpads or touchpads.Īnother is that your horizontal and vertical settings apply to every class of device (trackpad, mouse, or tablet) you’ve chosen to “reverse.” I’d like to see separate horizontal and vertical settings for each type of input device. One is that Scroll Reverser depends on information from Mac OS X to determine the type of each device. You can also choose whether to reverse both horizontal and vertical scrolling, or just one or the other. (The Mouse category includes most trackballs.) In other words, if you want to keep Lion’s inverted scrolling for your trackpads and tablets, but use traditional scrolling when using a mouse or trackball, you can do so. Here you can choose which devices-trackpads, mice, and tablets-are affected by Scroll Reverser. (Scroll Reverser affects only traditional scrolling it doesn’t affect other Multi-Touch gestures.)īut the Preferences sub-menu is where Scroll Reverser’s real utility lies. You can quickly disable Scroll Reverser by choosing Reverse Scrolling from the menu to uncheck it. By default, all scrolling is reversed (from whatever your System Preferences setting is) for all input devices. Launch Scroll Reverser, and its systemwide menu lets you quickly adjust your scrolling preferences. (Count me in this group-I’ve mostly adjusted to the new way of scrolling on my trackpads, likely because it’s similar to the way I touch-scroll on my iPhone and iPad, but I can’t quite acclimate to it when using my mouse’s scroll wheel or my trackball’s scroll ring.) The second is that some people who like this new direction for vertical scrolling haven’t yet taken to inverted horizontal scrolling. The first is that there’s no way to configure Lion to use the new scrolling orientation with trackpads while maintaining traditional scrolling with mice and trackballs. But even among those who’ve adjusted to-or, heck, enthusiastically welcomed-this inverted scrolling, there are a couple persistent complaints. The initial furor over this change is starting to die down as people have either gotten used to the New Way or used Lion’s option, in System Preferences, to switch back to the Old Way. ![]() In other words, scrolling is backwards compared to how we’ve been doing it for the past decade and a half. Magic Trackpad ( ), or spin your mouse’s scroll wheel towards you, the content of the current document or window scrolls down, as well. In Lion, when you drag two fingers downward on a MacBook’s trackpad or Apple’s Lion (Mac OS X 10.7), one of the most controversial is a new way of scrolling.
