Touchpad Scrolling problem.

[oxf]

Hi all,

Can anyone explain this to me? Using Evince on my laptop the touchpad scrolling works fine. However, using Acroread it doesn't seem to work at all and my only option is to use the arrow key or "tap" my way down the document. It seems funny that on one PDF viewer its fine but not on another.

Any ideas? Thanks

Laziness on behalf of Adobe? Just a guess.

The only thing I can suggest is to double-tap on the scroll bar, holding your finger down on the second tap. Should achieve the same effect.

IMO: it'd be easier to use the arrow keys. :P

Yes that works. If its simply that the scrolling is not supported by Adobe I guess I can live with that. I just wondered if it was some querk that needed working around. In Evince its fine. I only added Adobe because there is a printing glitch that apparently some people (like me) get. Its a known bug.
