Can't scroll in Save As... column (FIXED)

[MRMJP]

I notice when I go to Save a project for the first time, or do Save As..., the first column is not really scrollable.

I for some reason cannot reliably scroll this column (see linked screenshot and arrow) in REAPER. Everything else on my entire computer scrolls OK except this column when I go to Save As... or Save for the first time a new REAPER project.

The times that is does scroll it way slow and I to try really hard for just a little bit of scrolling.

I'm using an Apple Magic Mouse 2.

The same is true on the pop-up box when I try to insert audio files to a session. The first column scrolling is really bad/choppy/impossible.

Meanwhile, other scrolling including the nearby sidebar scrolls with ease.

Ok, I can confirm this but it's tricky!



Also using a magic mouse...

Some notes:

• It only happens in the first column while in columns mode.
• Using an emulated smooth scroll does have the same issue.
• After you successfully scroll once, the dialog works properly even if you restart Reaper!
• Scrolling with a wheeled mouse fixes it for the smooth scrolling mouse.
• Having the window selected or not does not change it.

It's rather difficult to reproduce this and I've only seen this happen in Reaper.

You have to select an item first and then you can scroll. At least that's the way it works for me under W7, x64.
"Save as" works the same: select an item and then you can scroll. I believe this is a standard Windows working way.

I just checked and even with an item first selected, the scrolling is not working well, or at all at times in that first column. Something is up. Other columns scroll fine.

When the issue happens in macOS, selecting an item first doesn't help. In macOS you never have to select to scroll, anything on the screen can be scrolled if it's under the mouse cursor.

It also only happens in the first column.

Right. To be sure, I tried selecting an item but we can safely say it's a software issue and not a user issue.

Same here - any kind of file-browsing window inside reaper gives me the exact opposite of a smooth scrolling experience.

Magic Mouse scrolling seems to be very consistent throughout OSX apps otherwise, so I'm guessing that reaper is interpreting some of it's own rules via mouse preferences. Maybe an option to just use system-wide mouse behaviour would fix it?
Even if scrolling kinda-works, it's never as smooth as in other programs for me.

Confirmed....

Thanks!

I'm just glad it's confirmed and on the radar now. In my workflow, it's only an issue at busier times when that first column of my working SSD is full of projects.

The busier I get, the more I notice it because you can't scroll it as expected.
