Scroll speed - wine on MacOS High Sierra

Post by csbrown »

Hello,

I'm trying to get theWord working on my Mac.
It's installed under wine and mostly working well.
The biggest annoyance is the scroll speed when using the trackpad.
Using the default wine settings it scrolls too fast to be usable.
If I set
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Wine\MacDriver\UsePreciseScrolling=n
then it scrolls 10 lines at a time, which is slightly better but still too fast to be usable.

Has anyone got theWord installed on a MacBook with the trackpad working well? If so, what settings have you used?

Many thanks,

Chris

After some more searching, I've found a solution.

Set the following key in the registry
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WheelScrollLines = 1

Then the scrolling works very well with the trackpad.

Thanks,

Chris
