Wheel / touchpad scroll way too fast

**rubem** · 18 October 2015, 07:47 PM

I've tried using X-Mouse Button Control (XMBC) which is pretty advanced and full of options. But it looks that Xara software is nonstandard when it comes to receiving mouse wheel messages, so ultimately XMBC has no control over it whatsoever. Several other apps I tested (inclouding CorelDRAW which also uses non-standard wheel processing) gladly respond to XMBC tweakings, but not Xara. Why?

Dunno. File a support ticket.

I use the default mouse driver for my standard Logitech two-button wheel mouse. Works fine across all applications.

rubem, seems like there should be a touchpad setting to change the scroll speed. I know mind does.

Yes, of course I tried that, but Xara does not seem to respond to mouse wheel or touchpad settings. So even with minimum scroll speed it jumps abruptly instead of moving smoothly as other applications do.

rubem, it's infectious! Never had it before and then it happened last night. I sorted it out by going Maximise and Restore Down on the view into the application.
Weird,

Good this worked for you, I'm not so lucky...

Have you tried using the native software and settings that came with your touch pad? It could be that X-Mouse Button Control is incomparable with Xara. Since Acorn had a similar problem suddenly pop up it makes me wonder. If you have a backup copy of X-Mouse Button Control you might try uninstalling it and get rid of any other instances of X-Mouse Button Control including any dll's it may have installed and see if it works. Just a thought.
