Lag when scrolling with Trackpad on Dell XPS 13

• VSCode Version: 1.6.1
• OS Version: Windows 10 x64

On my Dell XPS 13, scrolling in Visual Studio Code using two fingers in any view (Editor, File Tree, Terminal, Extensions) has a lag to it. Especially when starting the drag, most of the time it won't start moving for half a second and then jump a large distance into the scroll direction.

Scrolling on the Touch display works without problems. Also, of course scrolling with two fingers on the Trackpad in any other application works without problem. (Also tried it in Atom)

I just noticed that in the Terminal, I can not scroll properly with the Touch display. Also, trying to scroll with the Scroll Bar is really awkward because it immediately jumps to where I point the mouse (not even clicking into the Scroll Bar).

I also have this on my XPS 13, but it happens sporadically, and can't really reproduce it. Sometimes changing the window size makes it go away... Is there anything we can do while we are experiencing this issue to help debug it?

Been experiencing this on Surface Book for a while now, but thought I was crazy. Oddly, it's been extremely annoying tonight which brought me to this thread. Changing the window size made it go away for me. No idea on the debug front, but happy to have a workaround.

It appears to be an upstream issue with Chromium (we recently updated to Electron 1.3.8 that comes with Chromium 52). Apparently Chromium 54 has fixed the issue already. Let's track in #13612

Was experiencing the same on my Dell Precision. Thought I was crazy initially, too, but the scroll lag didn't affect other apps.

This happens on my Surface Pro 4 as well.
The mouse scroll works fine, just trackpad double finger scroll seems to lag.
But resizing the window is a good work-around.

I can confirm this on my Dell Inspiron 7559 as well. As @shan-du mentioned, maximizing then unmaximizing "fixes" the issue.

Still an issue on my XPS15 - 9550. Changing window size solves it though. thanks @CoenraadS

Can confirm this is a problem on a clean install of VS Code on a Dell XPS 15 9550. Changing window size solves it.

I also have this issue on my Dell XPS 15 9560.
