Unwanted one-finger scrolling in 10.4.11

As I use a mouse or trackpad to move the cursor, the entire application window scrolls in the opposite direction. Even the menu bar scrolls up out of sight. It happens in all applications. Two-finger vertical scrolling works normally, but it won't scroll horizontally. What's happening?

Problem solved -- I had inadvertently entered the zoom mode. Got out of it, scrolling returned to normal.

HT1338 My new magic mouse will not one finger scroll left and right

I am up to date with software but after connecting my new magic mouse it will not one finger scroll left and right. It does scroll up and down. Any ideas on what may be wrong??

I don't have a Magic Mouse, but there is probably a setting that enables and disables horizontal scrolling. Look on System Preferences Mouse pane.

One finger scrolling option for mouse is GONE from preferences?

The one finger scrolling option for mouse is apparently GONE from the mouse system preferences? Why do they move/hide this stuff every other system update? Grrrrr!
I turned off the one finger scrolling option in mouse preferences a while back before my last system update to OSX 10.8.5 because it screwed me up in Photoshop/Illustrator. Recently using Chrome I found I couldn't scroll down windows now on some web pages because the scroll bar at the right doesn't show up very well. I usually use Safari and it works there so it's a Chrome problem. However, I want to turn the one-finger scrolling back on for some things from time to time. When I tried to check the box in mouse preferences, to my horror, that option appears to be gone. What?!? Help!
*totally waiting for a simple answer that I overlooked. I hope.

Did you look in the Zoom menu (press F10 to make the menu bar appear)?

Intermittent bug in Touchpad One-Finger Scrolling with High-DPI display scaling

This one is quite strange (since it does not happen all the time) but very annoying - on my T420s (with 1600x900 screen) I am using 150% DPI scaling in Windows7 (Pro x64). Ultranav driver is 16.2.5.0.
I am using the preinstalled Chrome browser in a rather default configuration - and by default that program declares itself not High-DPI-aware and gets scaled up by desktop composition - something that can be changed in the properties from the compatibility tab, but which I keep like that since there are sites that look better this way!
Long story short - touchpad scrolling fails to work in more than 50% of the cases in that specific Chrome setup in a way that strongly suggests it is a bug where the touchpad scrolling program fails to account for the fact that Chrome runs "scaled-up" - if Chrome is maximized and the mouse is positioned in the top half AND left-half of the screen scrolling works as expected, HOWEVER when the mouse pointer is positioned (still 100% over the Chrome window) towards the right/bottom extremes scrolling fails and the Ultranav driver seems to send the scrolling messages to some other window than Chrome! (since it seems to fail to take into account the 150% scaling - so it gets wrong values with GetWindowRect and should probably use instead stuff like DwmGetWindowAttribute(hWnd, DWMWA_EXTENDED_FRAME_BOUNDS...))!
Steps to repeat the bug:
- Windows 7 machine, large-resolution screen with Custom DPI text size set to 150% and the older XP-style scaling disable (which enables the new DWM scaling)
- Chrome browser in default mode (which will use scaling); to repeat things easily the window should be maximized and the URL should be set to some long page on which scrolling can be performed
- scrolling should be enabled in Touchpad settings (I do not normally use ChiraMotion, but I do not think it makes a difference)
- mouse pointer should be positioned in the right-most 10% of the window and Touchpad One-Finger Scrolling should be attempted;
- in many/most cases the scrolling messages are sent to some other window beneath Chrome (but NOT always, so it seems there might be another factor in play)
- it is interesting that the different TrackPoint scrolling seems to work even in those conditions.

How can I enable one finger scrolling in Lion ?

I have looked everywhere to try and find a way to set up "scroll zones." Where you touch with one finger on the vertical or horizontal edges of the trackpad to scroll. All my serches result in "scrolling reversed in OSX Lion" and I have found it impossible to wade through them, I have this amazingley huge trackpad and I can't use it like I'm used to. Please help.

Thanks for the quick reply. I do enjoy the two finger scrolling. However using it exclusively cramps my fingers and I would image it cramps other peoples fingures as well, I'm not looking to replace the two fingure scrolling. I am looking to suppliment it with scrolling zones though, I have this enourmous trackpad (the best in the mobile computing world) that would be absoutely ideal for use with scrolling zones. I have been researching quite a bit and can't find a solution. Hoping I can find a solution here. I would love to be able to slide one finger sideways along the top and bottom to scroll to the side, and slide one finger up and down along the left and right edges to scroll up and down. I really hope I can find a solution. Please somebody....let me know if theres a program/plugin that can do this????

Firefox will not go back and forth one page / one site using Mac Lion one finger scroll back and forth - how do I do it? Thank you.

... just upgraded to Lion from Snow Leopard. Swiping a (one) finger (left) back and (right) forth should move the pages / sites back and forward.
It does not on Firefox but does on Safari.
Please tell me how to make Firefox work.
Thank you -
Wm. Pordy

You can get the drop down list by either right-clicking on the back/forward buttons, or holding down the left button until the list appears.
If you want the drop-down arrow you can add it with the Back/forward dropmarker add-on - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/backforward-dropmarker

One finger scrolling lost when upgraded to windows 10

Going back to Windows 7 was not a very viable option after using half of my monthly data quota to get upgraded to Windows 10. Using the old driver works better and I quit using Windows Explorer (Edge) and instead am using Google Chrome for my internet and the scrolling works well with it. Problem solved.

T430s: Old mouse drivers? (two-finger scroll broken)

Hi all,
I just used the lenovo update manager to update my mouse driver to version 16.2.19.2 (latest) for my T430s with Win 7. Previously I had been using the two-finger scroll all the time and have really been enjoying this feature. However, the new driver has been giving me some unwanted behavior - instead of scrolling only on two fingers, now it scrolls with one finger about half the time.
I've double checked that I'm not accidentally touching the pad with another finger. I one-finger edge scrolling disabled, as I have found this unreliable anyway. I can get back to reliable one-finger movement by un-checking the two-finger scroll from the advanced ultra-nav options in mouse settings. However, re-enabling this still gives the unwanted one finger scrolling for a touch anywhere on the pad.
So unless anyone has any better ideas, I'd figure I would roll back to the older driver. Unfortunately, the lenovo update manager has no history of the old driver, nor does windows device manager. And the driver listed on the lenovo site here, is the same version as the one I'm currently running. So.... anyone have the link to the old driver or any other ideas?
Thanks!
[Edited to avoid wall-of-text]
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Okay, I've tried multiple un-install / re-install cycles. I've removed the ultra-nav and synaptics files after uninstalling the driver from device manager and add-remove programs (you have to do both it seems). And a fresh re-install of both, together and individually.
The problem still persists.
After checking with other solutions on the forums, I gave a third-party program "two-finger scroll" a try (http://code.google.com/p/two-finger-scroll/) and it is working much better. I can't devote any more time to this problem, and this solution seems to be excellent.

Why doesn't two-finger scrolling work for me with Yosemite?

MacBook Pro from 2010, upgraded to Yosemite and now none of my two-finger scrolling works with the Trackpad. Doesn't work on any application - Chrome, Safari, Word, anything. It's super annoying. Tried messing around with Trackpad options in system preferences, didn't help.

Hi thekidcanada,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that this type of situation can be very frustrating. One troubleshooting step I would recommend would be to reset the PRAM on your computer. I know the article is written for Mavericks but the steps will be the same for Yosemite.

T440s Win 8.1 Remote Desktop two finger scrolling

Two finger touchpad scrolling in Chrome desktop mode has been pretty bad on my T440s until the recent driver update. But after the update, I've noticed now that in the tiles version of remote desktop, two finger scrolling no longer works. It acts as a right mouse click and hold to select text or drag. In the desktop version of remote desktop on windows 8.1, two finger scrolling works fine.
I saw an article about editing the Synaptics config file to get two figure scrolling to work in the desktop version by adding a lince that references mstsc.exe, but that line is already in my Synaptics config file. Not sure how to get Synaptics to pass gestures when using the tiles/metro version of RDP.
Any ideas?

Well, I've confirmed it. This is a Synaptics driver issue. I went back to a 16.X version and the scrolling within windows 8.1 tiles version of remote desktop works.
But, I can see what Synaptics did between these two drivers. In the latest version of the driver, two finger scrolling is now handled like trackpoint scrolling now. With trackpoint, if you hold the center button down and mobe the trackpoint vertically, a vertical scroll icon appears and scrolling works well in windows 8.1 and within a remote desktop session in using the tiles version. The vertical scroll icon appears in both cases. And when you do two figure scrolling in the desktop, the vertical scroll icon appears, but when you go to a remote desktop session (tiles version), two finger scroll does NOT work, no vertical scroll icon appears. In the remote desktop session, the two finger scroll is treated like a right click and drag. This is horrible because if you try to two finger scroll in an explorer window, you can accidentally move files or folders into other folders!!!! FRUSTRATING and dangerous!
In the desktop version of remote desktop, this is not an issue, when two finger scrolling happens, the vertical scroll icon does appear and scrolling works!
In the old version of driver, the two finger scrolling must be handled independently of the way trackpoint scrolls... there is never a vertical scroll icon but scrolling always works, albeit herky jerky and buggy in some programs. In the new version of driver, the bugginess is now fixed, except this new two finger scrolling issue has been introduced.
I think the suggestion about modifying the Synaptic tp4table.dat file is a good one except that I can't seem to add a windows 8.1 tiles app to this file... have no idea how to do that as the tiles apps are OS protected and are not exactly .exes. UGH! Ideas about this??
Just got off a horrible telephone support session trying to report this... tech kept asking me about my boot issues... I don't have boot issues! I don't expect any help to come soon... I guess I hope someone at Lenovo or Synaptic actually reads this stuff!
Please Synaptic... this should be a simple, quick fix.

Two finger scroll problem in Preview

When viewing a pdf with over 200 pages in Preview, for example a pdf book, two fringer scroll stops functioning periodically. In order to get it working again you have to click on the destop and then click back onto preview to get two finger scroll to work agian. Is this a limitation of the Preview app? This does not seem to be a problem with smaller pdfs.
