Windows 10: Microsoft could improve Chromium touchpad scrolling on Windows 10

In a new proposal, Microsoft has shared a solution to improve Chromium’s touchpad-based scrolling. Microsoft wants to bring Windows 10’s touch-initiated fling animation to fix the slow movements when scrolling using two-fingers touchpad gesture.

The bug post ‘Fling curve on Windows should match Edge and other native apps’ was filed by a user in 2016 and it has been recently assigned to a Microsoft engineer. According to the bug post, scrolling with touchpad’s two figures gesture is slow and flick scroll gestures end almost immediately rather than inertial as expected.

In a work-in-progress commit, Microsoft says adding support for Win specific touch-initiated fling animation could improve this behaviour. The commit hasn’t been merged or reviewed yet.

According to the commit, this change will enable Chromium on Windows to have a touch fling inertia that behaves more like Edge and other native apps.

“Note that this implementation does not modify the curve depending on the scroller’s size, something that may be desired. User feedback will be used to determine the importance of bringing that behavior to Chromium,” the commit reads.

In another commit, Microsoft has shared the following technical details:

For fling and inertial scroll, the animation used by EdgeHTML matches Windows and Microsoft design. This differs from the animation built into Chromium by default. This CL will add an option to use Microsoft fling animation curve for touch-initiated flings rather than current default fling animation.

One thing to note is that this fling curve is the same for subscrollers vs root scrollers which is different than what EdgeHTML had. We’re planning on running some user studies to see if that’s an important thing to bring over or not.

Touchpad scroll not working on Windows 10

My Dell Inspiron 15 came with Windows 10...the scroll function quit working. When I rolled back the driver using the steps listed above, it still didn't work...the touchpad settings disappeared and the touchpad did not even show up in the device list
anymore...then I had to figure out how to find the correct "mouse" on the device list and restore the driver...when the driver downloaded, the touchpad settings would not open...then when I tried to open a url on a webpage, all I got was a window asking me
if I wanted to leave this page...my recommendation is not to follow these directions...just use your up and down arrow to scroll...it will save you some trouble...
