Safari: PDF single page flip/scroll does not work

In previous versions, you could open a PDF file in safari, then right click on the PDF, choose the "Single Page" scroll option - and you could flip from full page to the next full page with just an elegant and simple scrollwheel swipe on the magic mouse.
Upgrade to mountain lion: And this convenient feature is botched. It just doesn't work - give it a try. Now, the page will wiggle, but won't flip, unless you also move the mouse to a different pointer position. So in order to scroll through a 100-page-PDF in Safari, as opposed to elegant slides down your magic mouse with your middle finger, you are now forced to work like a madman, simultaneously wiggling your mouse as you middle-finger swipe the scrollwheel !
Not only does that make you look like a complete moron, it also is annoying, takes you eight times the time, delays the process, sometimes still doesn't work, and is just plain idiocy.
Why this change would have been implemented - I have no idea. But one thing is clear: We need a solution to fix this, I can't downgrade my OS, and I am loosing a lot of time each and every day!
Anyone with a solution: Step forward, please!
Thanks,
Me. 

Deleting Safari's preference file did the trick...

  • Image display control scrolling does not work properly when zoomed in

    I am using a ROI on an image in the image display control. When zooming into the image to fine-adjust the positioning of the ROI, the image scrolling does not work properly. As far as I understand, the image should scroll automatically when the ROI is leaving the visible area. However, the scrolling behaviour seems to depend on the origin of the Labview panel, not the origin of the image display control, which might require to move the ROI way out of the visible area before the scrolling takes place. In other words: the coordinate system of the image display control is shifted with respect to the true visible image area, depending on where you place it on the front panel. As a consequence, when clicking on a ROI which is in the visible area, but is outside of what Labview thinks is the visible area, it might immediately jump to the left border of the image, making the positioning of the ROI really difficult.
    Has anyone noticed this behaviour, and what would be a reliable solution to avoid this?

    Hello,
    no, I am not talking about the tools palette. Just place an image control with some image in it on a new VI front panel. Then, use the rectangle from the tools and select a ROI in the image. If you zoom in (using the magnification glass), and then grab the ROI and move it around, the image scroll with the ROI. So far, so good. If you now place the image control elsewhere on the panel, or add new control above it, resize the panel, etc. , this scrolling when moving the ROI will not work correctly if the origin (0,0) of the panel is far away from the image control.
    I have attached a VI for simplicity (although there is hardly any code in it).
    If you make a ROI and try to move it down, you will notice that scrolling starts if you move the mouse out to about 10cms below the image (depens on your screen, of course). After that, if you click on the ROI, the scroll bars and ROI might jump up to the upper end of the image. Imagine how annoying this is if you try to finely adjust the ROI position. 
    I think it is a bug in the implementation of the image display control.
    Thanks,
    Dirk

  • Scrolling does not work in LR

    I've been frustrated by this for a while now. When in LR (currently on version 4.2, but same thing happens in earlier versions too), scrolling does nothing. If i'm trying to scroll up or down a panel, nothing happens.
    I'm on a Lenovo W701 running Win & 64bit. The scrolling does not work using either the track point or the touchpad.
    The work properly in all other applications.
    The pointer will change to an icon the represents scrolling while in LR, but nothing happens. Any thoughts or suggestions?
    If there is any other information that you might need, let me know.
    Thanks!

    What about a mouse? Does the wheel scroll?

  • Scroll does not work.

    Hi,
    Scroll does not works.
    How can I fix it?
    P.S Photoshop CC 2014.2.2
    Thanks,
    Max

    I have discovered the solution and it involves an issue I suspected. After the restore of my old Time Machine Lion files to my new MBP running ML, the restore restored my computer back to Lion. After an install of ML, my computer worked perfectly except the fancy Scroll and zoom featured we all love from the trackpad. Ha already installed ML on other partitions and the trackpad worked perfectly on them.  Even the guest login's trackpad worked perfectly but not the main admin account.
    First thought was to create a new admin account and copy everything from the old admin to the new admin and then delete the old admin account. Hated the idea because all files had to be copied rather than moved.
    So what was left to do. I had thought of deleting all the apple preferences from the library and replace them with the contents of the library on another partition in ML. First I deleted old preferences many of which were old Lion preferences. That didn't solve the issue.
    I forgot that Lion and ML HIDE the user library so I was working on the wrong library. Discovered the Terminal command "chflags nohidden ~/Library" and I chose to reveal the user library on a ML partition.
    Solution:
    I booted into another ML partition. I guess that I could have booted into the new admin user account and changed the permissions  to access the old admin users Library But I chose to boot
    from another ML partition: copy ALL the com.apple. XXXXX.plist files and the folder  BY Host. It has special hidden files. Other  way is to copy the Preferences folder we'll say into the Desktop.
    I then proceeded to delete ALL the com.apple…….plist files and the Host folder into the trash. Then I copied all the apple.com…plist files and the Host folder and then rebooted. And now my wonderful Trackpad works as mountain Lion intended it to work.
    I'm leaving this solution because there's someone else in the MacWorld with the same issue.

  • Two finger scrolling does not work on my MacBook (late 2008)

    Two finger scrolling does not work on my MacBook (late 2008) with either the notebook trackpad or a b/t conected magic trackpad.  Yes, I've set system preferences.  Suspect a driver or s/w problem.  Ideas?

    Saw another post that hinted that you need to go to accessibility settings:
    System Preferences > UniversalAccess > Mouse & Trackpad > Trackpad Options
    Enable scrolling (and I enabled dragging while I was at it and it worked.  Looks like wierd things can get set even if you don't mean it to.

  • MB Air two finger scroll does not work for a user but does for another

    Hi
    MB Air. 10.9.3.
    Defective Trackpad was just replaced. Two finger scroll does not work for the main user. I made a test log in and two finger scroll works. I booted off an external drive and two finger scroll works.
    I pulled all of the user preferences out, logged out and in and still does not work. Zapped PRAM. Checked all trackpad settings. No luck.
    Tried this in Terminal:
    defaults write -g com.apple.trackpad.scrollBehavior 2
    Any ideas?

    This sounds strange but check the settings in Settings>Accessability for the track pad. I belive your problem lies there not in Track Pad set up in Settings.

  • Two finger scrolling does not work on Synaptics touchpad + clicking problems in web browsers

    Hello,  Since yesterday, i have problems with my synaptics touchpad on my HP Elitebook 8570w.The two finger scrolling and scrolling at the edge of the pad does not work.Also in google Chrome, all the links open in a new tab and when i try to click the new tab, it closes (normally that is the action when i click it with the middle touchpad button) Even in the practice mode of the synaptics settings of the touchpad, the two finger scrolling and edge scrolling does not work. Both options are enabled in the settings. I already tried to roll back the driver and reinstall the driver, without any effect.I expect the problem is the touchpad or the buttons itself. Is there a way to test the buttons and touch pad? How can i solve this problem?  please help me  sincerely, Karel 

    I would try installing the Windows 8.1 (64-bit)  Synaptics touchpad driver available in your sleekbook's web support download section before using compatibility mode.  Try the available earlier versions if the current driver does not work for you. 
    If you still do not have positive results, then use compatibility mode (choose Windows 8) on all three Windows 8.1 synaptics touchpad drivers, starting with the most current one.
    To use compatibility mode to install the driver softpaq just right click on the file and choose troubleshoot compatibility. Choose Windows 8 and run the installer.
    The following video has a decent explanation, but the narrator does not get to the point for a bit. Skip forward to minute 4  and watch it from there.

  • Safari prefs open Pages in Tabs "Always" not working??

    For some reason Safari "open pages in tabs"+"always" setting has just stopped working. Tabs can be created by opt-clicking, or from within the tab menu bar but NOT by clicking on a link in a page - which it used to. I have deleted Safari plist and cache but no luck. I have made numerous changes in the prefs menu and saved and reset and relaunched Safari but it does not work. I used to be able to open every link into a new tab just by clicking but this has just stopped happening and there was no new software added to Safari. Restart of machine does not help either. Any clues? Thanks and cheers! Sam

    Reinstalling the same version of Safari would have no effect. What I'm asking is whether there was a change in the behavior of the same version (not the same copy.) If there was, please link to a page that exhibits the change and specify exactly what it is.
    It's normal for Safari not to open all links in a new window, regardless of settings. The effect of that setting is to open pages in a new window when the page code calls for them to open in a new tab. That's all.

  • Have just upgraded to Lion.  In all applications a box now appears that encloses topics, etc on the screen.  It is a problem as it also randomly moves around the screen.  Have no idea what the purpose is and want to get rid of it. Scroll does not work.

    Just upgraded to Lion. Scroll does not respond. Have tried altering preferences. Will not fix. In all applications, including this page, a box appears and seems to randomly move around the screen, resting wherever I begin to work. How can I turn this off and get scroll to work normally?

    Have a look at System Preferences, Accessibility, VoiceOver.
    (Command - F5).

  • How can i make a soft return with pages shift enter does not work!

    how can i make a soft return with pages shift plus enter does not work!!

    On full keyboards with a numeric keypad, the key above the right shift is "return" & the one on the numeric section is "enter." On a Mac (or Apple IIgs ) they do have separate functions. On the "mini" keyboards, both names are on the same key, but "enter" is written in smaller letters. I'll have to check to see how that works on another Mac later today.

  • Touch pad scroll does not work in firefox minefeild but works in firefox 3.7

    Love Minefeild, but have notice that my touchpad scroll up and down does not work. This function works fine in Firefox 3.7 and other software. I am using the lastest nightly builds. Is there a solution?

    Sounds like your scroll pad drivers need to be updated, but considering that Firefox 4 is months away from being released the new drivers might not be available yet. Check with your manufacturers website in the software / drivers downloads section for newer drivers.

  • HELP! Scroll does not work on pressario CQ60 touchpad.

    Hi,
    I know this has been covered before but I am very illiterate in this subject and need step by step instructions, please bear with me.
    I have a Compaq Pressario CQ60-300EV, the scroll function on the touchpad stopped working very suddenly after only two months. Also when i type i often accidentally touch the touchpad, i have tried to turn this off but this does  not work, the light colour does change.
    I have read replies that say go into:
                     control panel-mouse-settings then change the horizontal whatever it is,
    I don't appear to have anything under mouse that says horizontal.
    Please help I'm desperate.
    Thanks
    Clarebear

    Sorry, I have wasted your time. Woo hoo! Its fixed!
    Thanks anyway, i would have clicked the Kudos star anyway.

  • Safari (OSX 10.9) new tab does not work

    I opened Safari after the Mavericks upgrade and, initially, it looked fine. Now when I open it, it does not work. I press command-T and a new tab does not appear; I press command-N and a new window does not appear. If I quit Safari and reopen it, the tabs show up. So the UI is not reflecting the input. I've removed all non-Apple internet plug-ins and I've removed all extensions, moved all plists to my desktop and I still have this behavior.

    OK, so apple support had me reset my SMC amd PRAM. In resetting PRAM, I was able to run Disk Utility and repair permissions too. And it worked. Tabs and new windows show up and it's all responsive.
