1.36 scrolling suddenly laggy - precision touchpads #76594
Description
Since updating to 1.36 the scrolling experience got bad.
I increased the multiplier to have the same speed, but it still feels "heavy" to scroll, not the same as before - what change could be the cause for this?
Same in the explorer view (with or without the new guides).
Here it looks like the renderer skips frames, jumpy and not calm (also the scroll multiplier does not seem to have an effect here, merely Alt).
I'm using a precision touchpad device (Dell) but this is not the old problem and cannot be solved by resizing the window.
It is especially annoying in the explorer tree, bordering close to the unusable level.
After trying for a while I will now downgrade to 1.35.x. This seamingly little handicap somehow greatly impacts productivity, at least for me, feels like having a slow computer.
Update: Yes, 1.35.1 is definitely faster and lighter to scroll (did you add some animation? my setting for 'smooth scrolling' is deactivated). I will have to stay on this version until this is fixed.
Cannot find anything in the release notes except "This is a major Electron release and comes with Chrome 69 and Node.js 10.11.0 (a major leap forward from our current version with Chrome 66 and Node.js 10.2.0)". I guess it won't be easy to locate the issue. However, the new version is not usable, for me (Windows 10, precision touchpad).
