Safari 4: Scrolling is Very Fast

An issue I have with Safari is that it scrolls a huge chunk of the page when I use my mouse wheel. For example, at cnet.com, it takes 8 wheel clicks to get to the bottom of the page with Firefox. With Safari, just 3. I can change the global settings, but then EVERY other program scrolls too slowly. I don't see an option for Safari. Is there anything I can do? Thanks!

Hi
There is no option for Safari, per se. Rather, the mouse option controls all apps via System Preferences>Keyboard & Mouse panel. Are you using a 3rd party mouse? If so, are you using the latest mouse driver?

  • Scrolling slow with initial marquee selection, but very fast when adding to selection

    I've found that when I zoom in and try to make a selection that requires me to scroll beyond the viewable area, the scrolling becomes very slow when I scroll down. And if I add to the selection (via shift) the scroll becomes very fast, as if the shift key nudges the screen by x number of pixels, just as if I were to shift-move a layer. Is this the intended behavior?

    Ramon, my apologies. I own a MacBook Pro running OS 10.5.6, 2.4 GHz prcoessor with 2 GB of RAM, and 256 MB of VRAM. I'm using Photoshop CS4.
    So I ran a couple tests and I think I know what's occurring. The scroll speed seems dependent on how close or far the cursor is from the canvas edge (the axis in between the image and the scrollbar). So for example, if I were to do a max zoom the window would expand to the very edge of the desktop. When I start the marquee and move my cursor to scroll it's unable to move any further from the axis because of the desktop edge. This would cause it to scroll more slowly.
    Here are a couple of test vids (The zoom is at 3200% and I set up the camera to focus on the top right of the screen):
    Window right up against desktop edge (automatically positioned via Photoshop max zoom)
    http://s87.photobucket.com/albums/k156/darthsauce/mac/?action=view&current=horiz01.flv
    Window edge moved a little away from desktop edge
    http://s87.photobucket.com/albums/k156/darthsauce/mac/?action=view&current=horiz03.flv
    Window edge moved past the desktop edge (but axis is still visible)
    http://s87.photobucket.com/albums/k156/darthsauce/mac/?action=view&current=horiz00.flv
    Could this be considered an oversight in the design since zoom automatically resizes the window for us (of course, this would affect users differently depending on their zoom ratio and display resolution)? This means that I'll have to resize the window each time the zoom fills the desktop in order to scroll at a proper rate.

  • Screen vibrates when booting up. It fluctuates very fast between Safari and Microsoft Messenger. Back and forth .... flicking away .... back and forth, very, very, quickly. And then when its completely finished booting, everything is OK.

    I sign in and when Safari opens, whilst Microsoft Messenger is downloading, the monitor screen vibrates between Safari and Messenger at a very, very, fast pace. Back and forth, back and forth, alternating between the two. When the booting process is completed the computer is fine. Everything is OK. Anyone know what is causing this, and what to do about it?

    YES .... but they have always been set to open at login. I must admit that if Messenger isn't set to open at login this doesn't happen. But even though Safari opens at login, the opening page in Safari doesn't open; I have to click on Safari again, (when I am reminded after the computer has booted-up), because the monitor screen is just blank! Then after a click on the Safari icon the screen fills up in a second. Gees, what have I unintentionally done?

  • Disable Very Fast Scrolling Acceleration

    Please, make update disabling very fast scrolling acceleration in Mountain Lion.
    Scrolling sould works like in Lion!!!

    The speed of scrolling through long lists depends on how quickly you move your finger or thumb around the click wheel.
    That's it.

  • Battery draining very fast on MacBook Pro

    Just in the past month my battery has started to drain unusually fast.  It will go from 100% to less than 20% in 3 hours.  Most of the time the only programs I am using are Microsoft Word and Safari (thus, wi-fi), but even if I am not actively using web pages it drains very fast.  It doesn't seem to help if I dim my screen.  Any ideas?  Is it just time for a new battery?

    Pre-Mavericks
    Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder.  Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu.  Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order.  If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time (>=70,) then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar.  Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process.  See if that helps.  Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.
    Mavericks and later
    Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder.  Select All Processes from the View menu.  Click on the CPU tab in the toolbar. Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order.  If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time (>=70,) then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar.  Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process.  See if that helps.  Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.

  • Touchscreen scrolling is too fast / broken in Acrobat 10.1.5 on Windows 7

    Open a document more than 100 pages and try touch scrolling up and down in Windows 7. The document scrolls WAY too fast, making it necessary to use the scrollbar. Document should scroll at the speed of the gesture. At the very least there should be an option to adjust the sensitivity.
    This basically breaks touchscreen scrolling, especially for people with hand impairments.
    Is there a way to fix this behavior?

  • Browsing is very slow on Mac Mini connected to 100mbit LAN. FTP and file download is very fast.

    Hi all
    I have a strange behaviour of my Mac MIni 2012. The mini is connected to the internet by LAN. When I download a file via http or ftp everything is very fast (arround 95mbit/s). But when I try to open a website in Safari, Chrome or Firefox i have to wait some seconds until the page starts rendering.after the page is rendered completely, everything works fast and smooth.
    Do you have any ideas where the problem migth be? I have reinstalled Mavericks from zero yesterday. The problem resists. With my Macbook Air (conntected to the same router) and my Windows computer I dont have this problem.
    THanks in advance for your help.

    By any chance, do you run sophos?  I had the same issue as you and fixed it on my mac mini and macbook pro by doing the following:
    Sophos --> Open Preferences --> Web Protection --> General
    You will need to enter your admin password after clicking the padlock in the bottom left to allow you to change settings.
    From there, deactivate "Block access to malicious websites using realtime URL reputation checks".  For good measure, I also deactivated "Block malicious downloads from websites".
    Hope this helps!

  • Safari stops scrolling pages

    Since recently upgrading safari and of course the OS to Mountain LIon, I have discovered a quite serious bug.
    Randomly safari stops scrolling pages. This has so far happened 3 times in the last week or so. You can open/close/view pages, but even though the scrollbar is present it won't scroll. I cannot use my mouse wheel, or click in the scrollbar or use the space bar, page down key or even search the web page to force it move down.
    The site I visit doesn't initiate the issue, it can be any website. The issue appears to be quite random, the only way to fix the issues is to close the browser and start it again.
    I have currently 2 extensions running in Safari, Ultimate statusbar and Awesome screen grab., I am going to proceed to remove both to test if this fixes the problem.
    However this is very frustrating as this has never been a problem in other version of Safari to date. I had to complete this question in Google Chrome, as of course I couldn't scroll to tee bottom of the page in safari!

    Try resetting and clearing the cache more often.
    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Reset Safari
    Select:  Clear History  (also empties the cache)
    Deselect the remaining boxes then click Reset.
    If that didn't help, open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy / paste:   ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari
    Click Go then move the Cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch Safari to test.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Then see if placing the iPod in airplane mode when in standby helps.
    - Reset all settings

  • After upgrade to IOS 6 my iphone 4S is heating up a lot and the battery is getting depleted very fast (within 2-3 hrs).

    I have upgraded my Iphone 4S to IOS 6.0 Yesterday. Afterwards I noticed that the phone gets hot quite often, even when it is idle. Additionally the battery gets depleted very fast ( 100% to 20% within 3 hrs while I was reading a book on the app mobibook for about 30 min). Last night, I left the phone connected to the charger, as I normally do, I found the phone to be extremely hot in the morning. Any help will be appreciated. In case there is no rememdy I would like to rollback to 5.1.1.

    If your iPhone 4S is extremely hot, do the following:
    Turn off your iPhone 4S and wait for 1 - 1 1/2 hours.
    Turn on your iPhone 4S.
    If the problem occurs, turn off your iPhone 4S and wait for 2 - 3 hours.
    Turn on your iPhone 4S.
    If your iPhone 4S is getting low, charge your phone
    Repeat in step 1.

  • I got my iphone 5 3 weeks ago and the battery life is very short. It drains out very fast. Does anyone know if it's a problem with the iOS or with my phone? Because I'm a bit concerned

    I recieved my iPhone 5 3 weeks ago and the battery life completely *****! After doing a few things and maybe using it for about 30 minutes the phone start overheating like crazy then the battery starts dropping very fast. Does anyone know if it's a problem with the iOS or with my phone? And is anyone else expierenceing these problems?

    It sounds like you have an app that is incorrectly continuously using data and power... from normal use the phone should NOT be getting that warm... only constant video playing via data like Netflix for example would result in that...
    I'd say that you should remove all apps in the recent app tray... tunr phone off... then once you power back on...
    Hold BOTH home and sleep wake buttons together until you see a white apple symbol... then release both buttons...
    This will ensure you have no apps running...
    I've experienced a hang up with mail while out and about that has resulted in this on my iPhone as well... Once I performed these steps it was fixed... it seemed like it got stuck and that's what caused the warm phone and battery drain...
    I notived that when it gets stuck (mail app that is) I will see the text connecting at the bottom and it never changes to "updated" like it should... this is my trigger that it's gotten stuck.
    Have not really figured out what causes mail app to get stuck yet...

  • HT4623 I updated ios6.1.2 on my ipad2 and it is draining my battery very fast. How do I go back to 6.1.1 ios

    I Updatedios6.1.2 on my ipad2. It is draining battery very fast. How do I fix it ? Can I go back to old version of ios6.1.1 if yes how?

    Honestly this is the final nail in the coffin. Mine too has terrible battery life since the 6.1.2 update.
    What the **** has happened apple. .? You have totally ruined iOS 6 its been a shambles since day one!
    I have tried every suggestion so far and it's just the same.
    But that's it now. My ipad is goin up on ebay and I'm looking at other tablets. I haven't had one issue with my nexus 4 since I went from iPhone 4 to that. Infant the updates have made that better not worse!!

  • What is the best way to turn emitter on/off very fast?

    What is the best way to turn emitter on/off very fast? Now we are using very slow shutdown.
    Why do we need this feature? Because it is important to solve the problem of interference, when two IR sensors are working at the same time and are grabbing the data.
    We are porting now our solution to Kinect v2 from PrimeSense/RealSense.
    I am also have a list of other questions (interpolation of data, problems with different types of surfaces, etc) and it will be great if someone can contact me by email ([email protected]), so I can
    provide link to our assets (PLY, video, shots) and detailed report about issues that we have. 
    Best regards,
    Konstantin

    There is no api to support turning on/off the emitter. The only way to stop the sensor is to call Close on the sensor/reader object. Keep in mind if there are other applications with outstanding readers/sensors open will keep the sensor on.
