Scrolling lag
Posted: Mon Feb 22, 2021 4:55 pm
XMBC Version: 2.19.2
Windows Version: Win10 x64 Pro (20H2, 19042.804)
Mouse Information (brand/model): Logitech M720 (stock Win 10 driver: Microsoft, 10.0.19041.1)
Relevant Computer Information (CPU, RAM etc): Chuwi Larkbox (Intel Celeron J4115, 6 GB RAM, SSD)
Did the problem occur after an upgrade of XMBC? (If so, from what version?): No
Did the problem occur after a Windows update/upgrade? (If so, from what version?): No
How long have you used XMBC?: about a year
What language and keyboard layout do you use in Windows?: Windows language is english, keyboard layout is Standard (Croatian)
Other mouse software: none
Clear description of the problem:
First things first: the M720 mouse has the "hyper-fast scrolling feature" - when the scroll wheel is "unlocked" it doesn't "click" when scrolling - it just rotates and rotates for approximately 6-10 seconds until it stops. It's the hardware feature, not a software one. And I use it 99% of the time.
The problem that I'll describe below applies both to hyper-scrolling and normal scroll, but it's way more noticeable with hyper-scroll.
Anyway, now the problem - link to video here: youtu . be/18BTybLokjE
When scrolling in Windows Explorer, it's lagging. When web broswing and scrolling a long webpage, it scrolls normally (fast as it should be). But in Windows Explorer it's lagging.
I recorded a video on which You can see the problem:
In the first part of the video (first 15 seconds), You can see that I rotate the wheel briefly and stop it shortly after. And scrolling stops immediately when the wheel stops rotating. In XMBC settings You can see the wheel options going yellow when the mouse wheel is rotating.
In the second part of the video (after 15 second) I turn ON the "make scroll wheel scroll window under cursor" option (which is enabled by default), and the problem starts to show: as before, I rotate the wheel briefly and stop it shortly after. But the window keeps scrolling for a few more moments.
Notice that the content is now scrolling visually more smoothly, but it doesn't stop scrolling when the wheel is stopped, therefore it takes more time to get to the content that I'm looking for.
This is just an example, and the same applies in any other folder, regardless the contents of it (files, folders, or mixed).
I also noticed the problem on my Ryzen PC (Gigabyte B450 I Aorus Pro Wifi, Ryzen 3400G), although a little bit less noticeable.
Any suggestions or ideas?
Thank You in advance
