Brave 1.47.186 64-bit on Mint 20.3/Cinnamon 5.2.7; Logitech M220 mouse
Problem: Scrolling a web page with the mouse wheel is unusable because it scrolls a whole page up or down for each wheel tick (i.e. like the PageUp/PageDown keys); this happens on every web site without exception that I could find.
I tried all the highly-rated “smooth scroll” extensions one by one, but none helped at all. My preferred behavior would be a scrolling rate of one line per tick.
Thank you for reaching out and I’m sorry to hear you are going through this. Can you try disabling Hardware Acceleration in settings, to see if this resolves the issue?
You’ll find this in Settings --> Additional Settings --> System --> Hardware Acceleration.
Thanks for your reply we appreciate the details. Could you kindly use guest mode to see if the issue persist? Additionally, please try to install the Beta or Nightly version of Brave to see if the issue persist?
Neither “guest window” from the menu nor “–incognito” from the command line make any difference. Can the beta or nightly versions be installed side by side with the stable release? I have to leave soon, so I’ll do it tomorrow.
Could you kindly try to going to brave://flags > Search 'Vulkan' > Disable Vulkan > Retest . Additionally, try disabling your extensions to see if this is the cause of the issue.
On your computer, open Brave.
At the top right, click Menu → More tools → Extensions.
On to the extension you want to remove, click Remove.
Here are the results of the various outstanding tests (all negative, alas!)
mouse: Logitech M315 and M325, exactly the same as the M220 (note that all three work better in Firefox, Pale Moon, Vivaldi, and Chromium although they still move up and down by 3 or 4 lines, more than I would wish.)
Disable Vulkan: no difference
Disable extensions: no difference
Nightly version 1.50.20 Chromium: 110.0.5481.77: no difference
