Vscode: Mouse Wheel Scrolling Ignores Mouse Control Panel Settings

[juliantrd]

• VSCode Version: 1.2
• OS Version: Windows 7

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open any file in VSCode
2. Scroll with mouse wheel

The number of lines scrolled does not match the Mouse Control Panel settings.

@juliantrd Can you please let me know which setting option you are mentioning about. Thanks.

[juliantrd]

In the Mouse Control Panel -> Wheel Tab, there are two settings for Vertical Scrolling.
Roll the wheel one one notch to scroll:
"The following number of lines at a time", or
"One screen at a time"

@juliantrd We do not read this information from the OS, it is most likely Chromium that interprets it. At our level, you could use a setting called editor.mouseWheelScrollSensitivity to control it.

I can confirm that scrolling works correctly in Chrome on Windows so it should be possible to fix this in VSCode.

OS: Windows 10 1607 (OS Build 14393.693)
VSCode: V1.10.1 Shell:1.4.6, Renderer: 53.0.278.143, Node:6.5

Any progress on this? I just downloaded VSCode on Windows and this is one of the first problems I ran into.

Why doesn't VSCode default to the system scroll setting from the OS like all other apps? My old version of Outlook 2010 does it right, why can't VSCode?

I set the editor.mouseWheelScrollSensitivity to what I wanted. Great for the editor window, but the other windows: Explorer, Problems, Console, etc. still operate at a sensitivity of 1 (seriously? c'mon man!)

guys I have the same issue. fix this please. wtf is this.

My vscode v 1.13.1 completely ignores the editor.mouseWheelScrollSensitivity setting

Had the same problem for a while. Try setting the editor.mouseWheelScrollSensitivity setting to a decimal setting. This just worked for me.

I thought I had tried this in the past, and it had not worked, but just did!

11 months later and this is still a problem. It seems odd that this is the only app I have running on windows 7 that doesn't obey the system settings for mousewheel set to 'page scrolling'

I have found setting the following in user settings is as close as I can get to scrolling one line at a time;

"editor.mouseWheelScrollSensitivity": ".2"

It will show an error "Incorrect type. Expected "number". But still seems to do the trick.

Still a problem in 1.28. Hope this get fixed soon.

chrome / vscode on linux dont scroll nice

chrome + smooth scroll extension and vscode with "editor.mouseWheelScrollSensitivity": "4" is about the most manageable i found so far

Please just respect the operating system's mouse settings. There's no need to reinvent the wheel here, quite literally.
The touch and feel of an input device is something that people get very accustomed to. Any slight change is immediately noticed, and it can be very frustrating.

@alexandrudima In my experience across different platforms, Chromium / Chrome has always respected OS scroll settings, unlike the other cross platform browser, so I don't think the blame can be placed there.

Problem still exist in 1.41, using "editor.mouseWheelScrollSensitivity": ".01" in settings works into terminal but not in editor :/

In my case it works in the editor but not in the terminal..
The strange thing is that the output windows works perfectly

[thalesnunes]

In my case it worked changing terminal.mouseWheelScrollSensitivity to change the terminal sensitivity and editor.mouseWheelScrollSensitivity to change the editor
