It no longer does that. Now it waits until I remove my finger before it updates the screen. This is very annoying and makes the scroll pad almost useless. It needs to behave the same as the scroll bar, which continuously updates the screen as I drag the indicator. (It used to work this way, back in Firefox 0.8 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run Firefox 0.93 on a laptop with a track that includes scroll pad. 2. Open any web page large enough to require scrolling. 3. Drag up ad down on the scroll pad portion of the track pad. Actual Results: It did not update the screen until I removed my finger. Expected Results: It should continually update the screen as I slide my finger up and down. I tried this uner both a custom therme and the standard theme. It does't make any difference.
I've found that when I first open firefox after starting my computer, the scroll pad works properly. After I use it for a while, I notice that the scroll pad is acting as described in this bug. I don't know what causes the change.
This may be a problem with the operating system. I have now started to notice the same problem in other applications.
