Slow scrolling with a mulitcolumn listbox

Thanks in advance for any help everyone!
The scroll rate of my multicolumn listbox is painfully slow when I scroll using the arrows of the scrollbar. This is only the case when "smooth scrolling" is enabled. Dragging the scrollbar itself works fine. I've attached a VI to this post that demonstrates what I'm talking about. Any solution/advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Tom

slow smooth scrolling example.vi ‏15 KB

Hi,
Pnt is right. This behavior is documented in the context help for the property node.
The problem is that each click of the mouse on the arrow keys is only scrolling by a single pixel. This will have the effect of a smooth scroll, but will also cause the scroll to take much much longer due to the one pixel increment. Setting this property to false will speed up the scrolling because a single column is now your scroll increment.

Very slow scrolling with CS5

I don't know if other people also have this problem, but I noticed an issue which makes Photoshop CS5 completely useless for me: It is scrolling incredibly slow. With CS4 I am able to scroll much faster and with different speeds. In CS5 it seems like the speed is limited. No matter how much I scroll with my mouse, Photoshop keeps scrolling at the same speed.
It seems like it is not only me: The only website concerning this problem I was able to find is:
http://macperformanceguide.com/OptimizingPhotoshopCS5-Issues.html
Unacceptable scrolling speed with center button
I use the scroll wheel in the center of the Apple mouse constantly. In CS5, this functionality is now broken, because CS5 scrolls only a small amount, very different from CS4. There is no apparent work-around.
Reader Joe N agrees:
I saw your posting about CS5 issues, and I want to add another STRONG vote for the Photoshop mouse wheel scrolling speed issue. I use a Magic Mouse, and the scrolling speed is so poor in PS CS5 that it is totally blocking my creative flow. I have scoured the web for a solution and have not found anything yet...
I also use a Magic Mouse and a MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard. Is there any hope of a fix or a workaround?

Thanks so much for replying, Chris. I've just started using CS5 and only used CS4 for a couple of weeks. There are so many variables. and I don't think it's just Photoshop. I'm wondering if the same problems happen in windows 7 (I switched to the Mac the last time I bought a computer.) Probably it's just that everything gets more complicated along with the improvements. : -(
Thanks again,
Peggy

Very Slow Scrolling with Images

I'm running Framemaker 11 on a Windows 7, 64-bit machine with an i7 processor at 2+ ghz and 8.0 MB RAM.
My Frame files, with imported/referenced images, are scrolling extremely slowly. When I say slow, I mean as the page scrolls into view it freezes for 10 - 20 seconds before "catching up" and displaying the page.
I have a "background" image on my master pages that contains simple graphics for the top header and some borders to delineate areas of the page. Those backgrounds are imported. Thjese imported files are about 1.1 MB.
My remaining images are imported by reference on the various body pages. They are .ai files and are 2.5 - 5 (ish) MB in size.
I've been searching for an answer. My deadline is going to pass my by while I wait for pages to load. Please help!

> ... I have read that JPGs aren't the way to go in FM ...
We convert them to EPS as well. EPS does raster. It does, however, always come in at "100%" in FM, and you cannot learn the dpi from FM. You can choose CYMK or RGB, depending on your color management needs.
> any advice on a better file type for screenshots and photos?
Screenshots are a different matter. Because they tend to contain long repeats of single pixel colors, we use TIF for that, as they compress well with any of the repeat-count compressions. You could also use EPS, but the FM preview is apt to be illegible.
A challenge with screen shots is avoiding having them re-sampled during render to PDF. I would recommend importing them at native res (typically 72 or 90 dpi), and keeping that below the threshold for whatever resampling is done in PDF print, Distill or Acrobat Optimize. If you need to scale screenshots, use integer multiples or fractions, and "nearest neighbor".
> ... although my graphics designer is throwing an absolute fit because the images look horrible when viewing them in FM.
You can improve EPS (and PDF import) preview by using the scaling trick (up to 500%) or so. Rescale the source image up (elect rescale stroke and effects) before saving to EPS. Rescale down after import to FM. The final file size won't change materially for vector art, and won't be much different for contone raster if your rendering workflow is set to resample down to what they were to begin with. The preview will be 4x sharper, but still indexed color.
Naturally. there is a small performance penalty for using the scaling trick. Also, the previews are metadata that will survive into, and inflate the size of the PDF, unless redacted downstream (Examine Document in Acrobat Pro; later versions of PDF printing and Distill may have an option for that too).
Another preview performance killer is rotation. Anything other than importing at 0 degrees can send FM off into la-la land.
Bad network fs performance can bog you down too.

Slow scrolling with all add-ons and extensions disabled, but OK is safe mode

I have a page for work, with a lot of links, that scrolls very slowly, with a choppy action. It is the same with all add-ons and extensions disabled. But when restarted in safe mode, the scrolling is OK.
What else does the safe mode block? Or what could be the problem.

In Firefox 4 and later Safe mode disables extensions and disables hardware acceleration.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode
Try to disable hardware acceleration.

If disabling hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.

[unsolved] SLOW Scrolling with Compiz-Fusion on Intel

Hi there, i just installed Compiz-Fusion according to instructions on the wiki, however it won't run fine in many aspects:
a) Scrolling just slows KDE really bad, from konsole to firefox almost freeze the system while scrolling. it's just soooooo slow.
Hell I managed to fix some bugs, but the scrolling problem persists.
I've got an intel 845 video card, which has run Compiz-Fusion in an useable mode until now (at least that was in Ubuntu, back when I used it)...
I use fusion-icon to launch compiz...
Ideas?
Thank you so much.
PD: I changed the options removing sync to vblank and increased the refresh rate to 100, overriding also the autodetection of that rate also... all the options are correctly configured in xorg.conf

is there something I can change to improve scrolling in firefox? I've tried to turnoff desktop effects and scrolling is the same annd also running firefox from a fresh profile. Hence, i suspect my nvidia 9800GT card to be the culprit. If anyone has a working xorg.conf with nvidia, 64 bit and smooth scrolling on the above mentioned sites please SHARE! Many Thanks!

Sorry, I don't use KDE, but it may be related to how do you start KDE: from xinit or via KDM or sth.

It's running the same driver as before.

Did you uninstall it? Did you install the nouveau driver? 'pacman -Qqs xf86-video' will tell you what drivers you have installed.
No, I don't have the nouveau driver installed. I have to check if I have the nv driver installed but I didn't uninstall the nvidia driver. I'm starting KDE via xinit.

Has anybody else been seeing (Not Responding) at the top of the screen and having thier browser not respond to wheel scrolling and scrolling with the usual slider at the right part of the screen?

I have noticed my Firefox browser is having way too many incidences where it is "Not Responding". The browser freezes up for a second quite often and the "Not Responding" message will appear at the top of the screen.
The browser will also not scroll with either the scroll bar on the right nor with the mouse wheel. Both used to work in previous versions of Firefox, but it seems to have gotten worse since Firefox 5 0r 6. The same with the "Not Responding". It is happening more with Firefox 7 than in at least the past two versions.
Anybody else having these issues? Seems like they are hand-in-hand. Thanks for any and all help or advice. It's making me pretty angry since I'm online all day for work.
Just an FYI. At the bottom of my troubleshooting copy/paste is a suggestion to update the driver for my graphics. That was a no-go. I tried that.

Thank you for this first reply! I'll have to give this a try later....the main laptop I experience this on crashed not more than an hour after I posted this issue. I'm on a tiny, slow netbook that hasn't had the same problem. Now I'm wondering if I picked up a Trojan on the main laptop and the "Not Responding" message is a side effect of a virus or Trojan.
One of the system .dll files has been corrupted and I'm not being allowed to use recovery discs, previous disc images, or any recovery options. That was an all day sucker yesterday and from what I've read on forums and have researched, it appears I'm going to need to reload the operating system. If it is indeed a Trojan/virus, I'm surprised it made it through my antivirus and firewall. Anything is possible, really.
Thanks again, I'll get back with results once I get the wounded laptop back up and running.

Scroll with mouse wheel requires multiple "ticks" to start scrolling

I recently got a new mouse, and now when using firefox the scroll wheel doesn't want to work correctly. Everywhere else I can do single scroll ticks to scroll content, but in firefox a single tick scroll is just ignored as are multiple ticks if done somewhat slow. In order to get firefox to actually scroll with the mouse wheel I have to quickly do a few ticks at once. Doing so makes for very inaccurate control.
I've tried turning off smooth scroll, hardware acceleration, and pixel scroll, but none of those helped. Any help getting firefox to stop ignoring slow and single scroll ticks would be greatly appreciated.

Did you check the settings in the mouse driver software in case something has changed?
Boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test.

Slow Scrolling on IOS X

Hi! I just downloaded the new IOS X, and I am very annoyed with the slow scrolling, is it possible to make it go faster.
I've already checked the settings, where you choose the settings for the touchpad.
Please help me. Thanks..

Very slow scrolling window thumbnails clips

Very slow scrolling windows with thumbnail clips. The more files in the event, the worse it gets. It is very frustrating. Is in others it is the same? I have MacOookPro i7 early 2011, thunderbolt drives RAID0, 16GB memory, FCPX 10.0.7. After the hardware is decent.
Give some feedback, thank you.
P.S. I might add that this disadvantage are found from version 10.0.0.

You might want to look at either booting from your install dvd (insert, restart and hold 'C' down) and running disk repair from Utilities. Alternatively, and I always suggest any Mac user should have at least one, a 3rd party disk utility like DiskWarrior (there are others) is extremely useful.

Acrobat 8 and 9 slow scrolling in terminal server or RDP

Adobe, there have been several postings here regarding the painfully slow scrolling introduced in acrobat 8 and 9 when viewing a multi page PDF via terminal services or RDP. It is discussed here in your forums and other internet forums. Have you a solution? Have you investigated this? It occurs not via a lan connection but a wan connection. You need to access an RDP session via dsl to reproduce this.
This is not a Microsoft Terminal services or RDP problem. It is an Acrobat problem. This did not occur with Acrobat 7. Thus the current method of fixing is to not install versions of acrobat above 7 or downgrade your Acrobat 8 or 9 install to 7. Not a lasting solution.
Acrobat, I implore you to investigate this problem and offer a solution.

I had the slow scrolling problem, too. Just occurred out the blue on December 15, 2010. Here's the simplest solution:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Acrobat/9.0/Standard/WS58a04a822e3e50102bd615109794195ff-7d1b. w.html
This link deals with the auto scrolling function under "View" at the top of your Adobe Reader page. Basically, with your Adobe document open and watching "auto scrolling" (i.e. your pages scrolling very slowly), hit a number (1-9) to adjust the speed of scrolling. I picked 5.
Then, go to "View" again and select "Auto Scrolling" to turn off this function.
Now, re-open your Adobe Reader document (if closed) and you should be able to scroll at a "normal" and not slow pace.
Hope I'm right with this one.
Happy Holidays.

Slow Scrolling Due to Cache Indicators. When will this be fixed?

Have you experienced slow/clunky scrolling when scrolling through layers in your timeline? This has been an issue for years now. When you grab the scroll bar and scroll it is fine, but using the mouse wheel or track-pad it results in painfully annoying refresh rates.
The Solution is to uncheck "Show Cache Indicators" from the timeline drop down menu. However, Cache indicators can be very useful so it is shame not to be able to use them. While this may not seem like a huge deal, slow scrolling really decreases productivity in projects with lots of layers.
This has been happening since at lease CS6 and I think it is high time it gets fixed. I'd appreciate any commentary on this or suggestions on how to fix this without disabling the Cache Indicators.
Thanks!

Interactive performance improvements in areas such as this are our primary focus right now.

Slow scroll

Does anyone have ANY solutions to the iTunes 7 slow scroll problem for Windows XP Home Edition? Any feedback would be appreciated.

I don't believe memory per-se is the cause of this issue. I've quickly profiled Safari 5.1.4 and Firefox 11 using Instruments. The test: load up a website (BBC news, say), and then continually scroll with the trackpad up and down for about 20 seconds while recording data.
For Safari, the call tree suggests that ~90% of the CPU time is being spent in re-drawing the page - that is, it seems to be re-rendering the whole page every time there is a scroll event. This will naturally create slow / irregular frame rates when scrolling.
With Firefox, CPU usage is negligible during scrolling. From the trace, it appears to me that the webpage is rendered once, when it is loaded, into a buffer, and redrawing is then just a case of copying the appropriate part of this buffer to screen (which is fast, especially if done on the gpu). I believe this is much more akin to the methods used on iOS with CoreAnimation (which is why you can get silky smooth scrolling with an ultra-high res iPad with a processor that's far slower than a laptop/desktop CPU).
Moreover, the problem isn't limited to Safari, but crops up in many other Mac desktop apps. I find choppy scrolling in Mail, Reeder, the Mac App Store... from limited testing it all seems to boil down to the same issue. Fundamentally, it would appear that many apps built on AppKit & WebKit will suffer from this issue, until Apple can use some method of caching to speed up redraws.
I would suggest filing a bug report with Apple.

Slow Scrolling HD Video Selections on ATV Hard Drive

I currently stream HD videos from my Mac because for some odd reason keeping content synced produces an annoying slow scrolling issue for video selection. The ATV stops for 10-15 seconds reading the properties of each file before going to the next selection. This is not an issue when streaming which is odd as you would expect better performance with local content. This doesn't occur when scrolling standard def content or with HD podcasts though they are only 3-5 minutes in length. This was tested on 2x ATVs one with firmware 1.1 and 2. I would prefer to keep the video on the ATV. Any ideas as to what is causing this?

Had the same problem. It has to do with the aTV generating a thumbnail each time for each of your videos (when steaming, your computer generates the thumbnail...no work for aTV). For some reason, some videos take longer to produce a thumbnail (perhaps one with higher bitrates). You can tell which ones they are by clicking on the list in iTunes and seeing how long it takes for the thumbnail to appear in the bottom corner.
The fix is easy: Select your own picture and store it on the artwork tab of the get info menu (this comes up if you right click the video in windows). You can copy the thumbnail the itunes creates, and paste in the artwork tab. With the artwork stored, the atv no longer has to generate it for that video.
I did this for all of my videos, and now no problems.
Hope that helps.
