It's specifically trackpad/Magic Mouse reversing that is now not working.įor macOS 10.12 and later (Intel and Apple Silicon):ĭownload Scroll Reverser 1.8.1 ( release notes)įor OS X 10.4 (PowerPC) and 10.5-10.6 (Intel 32 and 64-bit): 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. I find it more streamlined if I keep the up and down scroll 'un-natural' as the side to side scroll is set, by default, to 'un-natural'.Known Issue: Safari Scrolling Broken in macOS Monterey 12.2 going between left and right between desktop screens) uses the 'un-natural' scroll. One thing I do find interesting about the natural/un-natural scroll on the default Mac settings is that the default side to side scroll on a Mac (i.e. I don't find it a problem using the 'natural' way but I guess it's habit now and I've always set it to the way I used at the start. I remember when Apple changed this but I was used to the 'un-natural' way.
When I first used a track-pad it was the same logic.
When I first used the mouse-wheel you scrolled towards the direction you wanted to go. I think the main reason for this, for me is, as previously mentioned in another answer, I was born in an earlier era and when I scrolled down/up it was without a mouse-wheel so you had to literally click and scroll down/up in the direction you wanted to go. I use a Mac but I always set the scroll on my trackpad to 'un-natural'. The right direction, in my option, is whatever the user or group feels most comfortable with - you should leave the option up to the target you're dealing with. I don’t know of any “regular Joe” users who get upset about this, they jiggle the scroll a moment to get used to it, and start using the device. Users generally find it takes just a moment to adjust to the new paradigm when the scrolling is working the opposite way. But when I plug my old-school mouse with the real wheel into my Mac, the Apple’s “Natural Scrolling” doesn’t feel so natural anymore. If you imagine the scroll wheel sitting on a paper you were reading, the “Windows” scrolling direction is intuitive - the content moves in the direction the wheel would push it.Īpple mice don’t have these physical wheels anymore, so they are pushing for the touchscreen analogy for all their scrolling devices. And the first scrolling mouse had physical wheels (many still do). The first trackpad scrolling mimiced how mouse scrolling worked. This pushes the concept of scrolling gestures interacting directly the content. Apple is not keen on the whole concept of scrollbars currently, and hides them in many contexts by default. The Scroll Bar AnalogyĪnother way to look at (Windows-style) scrolling is that you are interacting with the scrollbar, rather than with the controls. A few years ago, Apple switched their scrolling direction to follow this analogy. When you use a touch screen, the scrolling behavior is intuitive - it’s like you put your finger on the actual content and push it around.
