Smooth Scrolling in Safari

Is there a way to enable smooth scrolling in Safari? I know is enabled in the Mac version of Safari but is there a way to do it on PC?

I already discovered the answer to my question in another post. Turns out Safari 5.1 does not have the feature for smooth scrolling. I think it did in earlier versions but was dropped in v 5.1.1. Apple, we need it back!
Now, I don't know how to cancel/withdraw this question. Can someone help me with that?

Scrolling Ebay listing pages has become jerky instead of smooth. With safari it's smooth.

I see in the comments of others they are having the same problem: When you scroll an Ebay listing page there is a continuing jerky stop and start. It used to be smooth. I know it's Firefox because the problem doesn't exist when I use Safari as my browser.

If there is a problem with scrolling on web pages then try to disable smooth scrolling.
*Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > General: Browsing: "Use smooth scrolling"

Can you add smooth scrolling in the next update?

It would be very, very, VERRRYY nice if they added Smooth Scrolling in an update of Safari.
IE, Firefox and Chrome support it, and I think that actually, alot of people didn't notice or want this feature.
So.. please add it, pretty please, because I and alot of others prefer Safari to other browsers...

Apple is trying to slowly slice ties with Google so that is why they removed the YouTube app as well as made their own Maps app.
Google has already made their own YouTube app that is on the App Store for free but right now it is only for iPhone, they will release a version for the iPad soon.

Screen smooth scrolling with mouse wheel

I have a screen with a number of vertical sections that are initially all collapsed. After expending these sections the screen becomes too tall and I get a scroll bar on the right. Scrolling it by dragging a scroll bar has expected smooth scrolling but using the mouse wheel scrolls why too large portion of the screen.
Any idea what to look for?
Thanks

No, I do not have other parts installed. I saw this behavior by others last week in the Safari forum here at Apple too. They wrote about this could be happend by using fast user switching and only Safari 4 was effected. But now, as I saw this after upgrading to Safari 4.0.2 in Aperture too, there should be a biger bug elsewere in the System or maybe Webkit?

Scrolling in SAFARI

I've posted something similar before when the MacBook came out in its first week, but not many people seem to have noticed the issue.
Now that the macbook's been out a month, I wanted to find out if more people are noticing this:
When using two finger scroll in SAFARI, the web page doesn't seem to scroll smoothly as compared to the old MacBook White and MacBook Air first gen. Somehow there just seems to be a waving/rippling effect.. I don't know the technical term to explain this. The page displays fine as soon as I stop scrolling, but while scrolling there seems to be a rippling effect of some sort.
I tried it on a demo machine at the shop and it has the same problem. also on MBP late 2008 as well.
Is anyone else noticing this? Do you know if Apple will fix it? I love the new MacBook but I use SAFARI a lot and it's annoying the ** out of me...

Check here:

Most think it can be fixed with a patch.

10.6.5 breaks scrolling in Safari

Just upgraded using Software Update and scrolling in Safari is no longer smooth when using the touch pad. I used to be able to read a web page and slowly scroll down at the same time. Now web pages flicker badly as you scroll. Try smartmoney.com, bbc.com and even news.google.com. I see people recommending the Combo Update, is it different? Also, can I use it since I already did Software Update?

I repaired permissions before the combo update and then again after the update. There may be some improvement but now I am sensitive to the flickering and may not be the best judge of it. My wife did volunteer this morning (before the combo update) that the computer seemed to be slower than it has been. She uses it every day and I did not tell her about the update so that confirms what I had felt about it also being slower.
I have the MacBook Pro with 2 video cards in it and I switched to the faster card and there are definite improvements in screen response and with pages loading faster in Safari. Scrolling in Safari is a little smoother but iPhoto is still real jerky.
I'll consider this solved because I think something in the video drivers has been updated (negatively) and it will take a further update from Apple to fix it. It's really too bad because I just became an Apple user this year and was impressed by how smoothly every thing works. Now the jerkiness in Safari and iPhoto feels more like the old MS Windows experience.
Thanks to all for the help!

No Smooth Scroll

With Safari you can't use smooth scroll. I'll click on the scroll button, on my mouse, and nothing happens. I have to move the scroll button to go up and down. With internet explorer, just simply clicking it down you can easily browse a huge web page.

You can file enhancement request regarding this feature: https://bugreport.apple.com

Smooth Scrolling has stopped in Google search but only Google search, how can I fix, thanks

There are scrolling 2 modes in Google search as far as I know one which I have always used which is smooth scrolling and the other where it jumps to the next site individually. Somehow after an update or something Google search on Firefox has stopped smooth scrolling. I also use safari and google search still smooth scrolls there.
Anyway in advanced smooth scrolling is checked.
If you are able to help please let me know.
Thanks

Cannot disable "use smooth scrolling" since last updates (10.6.5, firmware)

Hi all,
since the last updates (10.6.5, firmware) smooth scrolling is enabled in all my finder and other application windows when using the touchpad on my MBP 4.1.
I can check or uncheck "use smooth scrolling" in System Prefs-> Appearance, however smooth scrolling is always enabled.
Any clue how to disable smooth scrolling or fixing it any how?
Greets, Nico.

How can I get back the two button smooth scroll with Logitec optical marble mouse since Adobe Acrobat or FireFox updates on 10/26/2010 made it quit?

Oct 25, 26 or 27 both Adobe Acrobat and Mozilla Firefox alerted me they had updates to install. Since I trust them both I installed them. However, since then my optical marble mouse from Logitech acted strangely different. The cursor did not move as usual. It didn't respond right. I thought it might have needed the dust wiped out, so I did that. It still acted sluggish when I tried to move it, it was as though it was "spinning its wheels" not going anywhere. I went to the Control Panel clicked on Mouse, and proceeded to look at the settings and set them to default. I then tried to use the universal scroll by clicking the two big buttons which showed a circle with cross hair arrows as usual. When the marble was moved forward or backward, the scroll had always been smooth allowing one to read the screen evenly and without holding any button down. Now it was jerky. Is this a problem from the last update? My version of Firefox is 3.6.12
Thank you

I am happy to see another person is having this jerky scroll situation with the latest update to Firefox on October 27. I did check my I.E browser and '''THAT BROWSER''' still does the nice smooth scroll....let's get 'er fixed Mozilla! I know you can!

How can I make the Smooth Scrolling option in the Advanced menu apply ONLY to the tab bar?

So, I'm one of those people who usually have 60+ tabs open at any given time. I'm also on a Lenovo laptop with a trackpoint (that may be relevant later).
Right now, I have smooth scrolling disabled.
In previous versions of Firefox, if I sat my cursor on the tab bar and scrolled either up or down, it would scroll across my tab bar at a constant, quick rate, usually taking about two or three seconds to reach the end. This wasn't an animated scroll (I've disabled that animated scroll via about:config in the current Firefox version).
However, now, it's doing something different. There's acceleration to the scroll. If I just tap the scroll in either direction, it scrolls only a few tabs. However, if I hold the scroll for a second, it instantaneously takes me to the far end of the tab bar, completely skipping at least thirty tabs in between.
I have tab scroll buttons added by Tab Mix Plus (smooth scrolling is also not enabled in that addon), and the same accelerating behavior occurs there. One or two taps of the button moves the bar a few tabs to the left or right, but several taps in quick succession takes me all the way to the far end of the bar.
I can restore the old scrolling behavior for the tab bar by turning on smooth scrolling in the Options > Advanced menu, but that turns on smooth scrolling for web pages at the same time. I don't like the web page smooth scrolling, and would rather not have it on.
Or if there's any other way to make it so that scrolling the tab bar moves the tab bar a fixed amount no matter what, that would be great.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

Datagrid smooth scrolling...

Hi Alex/ All,
       That was great job. You have implemented smooth scrolling for List.. Based upon that I have implemented the same in datagrid also..But I am facing couple of issues...
    1. I have Item renderer Text.. With in that text I am displaying almost 90 records and it has a huge height. Accordingly the row height must change .. But what happend in my case is the data is overlapped on the second row.. the row height changes to certain height. after that it is not expanding.. records are displaying and overlapped on the second row and if it still lengthy it displayed on the third row also... so How can I solve this issue.. The row height must vary with the itemrenderer..
2. Second one is If I scroll vertically it is scrolling smoothly fine. But If I release the mouse the scroller going to Row end position or row starting position..
        I just want to fix the scroller position where user releases the Mouse from the vertical scrollbar...
      Can you please help me on this .. It is urgent ..... I am posting my Datagrid code here...

Renderers must report a correct measuredHeight based on a given
explicitWidth. You may need to override measure() method.
If the rows are so tall they don't fully fit in the DG, there may not be a
simple solution for MX DataGrid The Spark DataGrid should be able to handle
it

Smooth scrolling on a horizontal page - how did Benjamin Moore do it?

Hi,
I'm trying to work out how Benjamin Moore did this (in their COLOURSTORIES Canadian Version). We're looking to do something similar (Different content on the horizontal and vertical formats), but can't work out how Benjamin Moore managed to get a scrolling horizontal page.
The screen shot is below:
We're looking, if possible, to have the horizontal and vertical versions of each article smooth scrolling.
Is this possible?
Also, is there a static URL for the features & bug fixes for the most recent release? I'm finding that even searching the forum thows up "This is fixed in the new release" without any reference to what the release is (v21, v22 etc). T'would be a help!
Cheers,
Simon.

Thanks Bob - my problem was not realising the "Scrolling direction" relates to the orientation of the orientation of the articles, and not as the name suggests the scrolling direction. Another fact stored in the noggin for future use

How to make smooth scroll in muse

I want the smooth scroll effect in my site just like this http://nexgeninnovators.com

You can try to use anchors on page and link them to fixed positions on page, that would create similar effect.
But if you are looking for setting up jump scrolling on page then at current stage we cannot setup this with scroll effects.
Thanks,
