Swipe sensitivity with Magic Mouse

[xyzzy]

@izacks Vivaldi's "Mouse Gesture" settings don't affect swipe gestures on the Magic Mouse or TrackPad; they only affect how Vivaldi's "right-click" Gestures trigger.

Are there few users using Vivaldi with MagicMouse/TrackPad? Or is this a limited issue due to my own environment?

[xyzzy]

@izacks I personally use both the TrackPad and Magic Mouse and as an internal tester, I'm typically the first to report bugs whenever swiping or scrolling doesn't "feel right". My benchmarks are to compare Vivaldi's performance with Safari and Chrome. I haven't run into any problems with scrolling or swipe gestures in months.

@xyzzy So should I recognize this as a problem only for me?
Although I do not change the state even if I start Mac in safe mode, I do not know which setting of Mac is interfering with. Of course I am also trying to delete all Vivaldi related files.

The swipe operation seems to be problematic in Vivaldi's environment settings, and there is a problem with the main contents display. Is this caused by the OS, or is it a problem of setting Vivaldi?

@izacks Do swipe gestures work for you in Safari? I'm not sure what could be going on with your Mac but all I can say is that swipe gestures work perfectly fine for me in Safari, Vivaldi, Chrome, and Firefox.

[izacks]

@xyzzy I work perfectly with Safari, Sleipnir, Firefox, Brave.

@izacks The culprit could be a problematic extension. I'd first try disabling all extensions to see if the problem goes away.

It's also possible that your Vivaldi installation could have gotten messed up in some way. Rather than doing a full reset, you can try to clean/refresh your Vivaldi profile.

@izacks I seem to have very similar problem since updating to 2.2.1388.34.

MagicMouse gestures (back, forward swipes) are not being recognised at all.
Those gestures still work in all other browsers.

UPDATE: Cleaning my Vivaldi profile like @xyzzy suggested did not help, the gestures on the MagicMouse still have no effect.

I understood the cause. The cause was "smooth scroll add-on". I was not trying to use this, so I did not notice it. Vivaldi Mac version forcibly installs the smooth scroll add-on after installation or update. Even if I do not want to use it, it is forced to be in the "Enable" state. I completely forgot about this. I deleted this add-on, and the swipe problem was solved.

Certainly the scrolling of Vivaldi Mac around Ver.1.3 was bad. But now it has improved a lot. I would like to change to an optional installation rather than a forced installation.

@izacks happy that solved it for you.
Do mean to say that you have disabled the "Smooth Scrolling" setting on the Webpages tab (see below)?

That setting was already disabled on my side but the problem still persists.

[xyzzy]

@nito FYI, I don't think that "Smooth Scrolling" is actually functional on macOS. Apparently, all the option does is control whether Vivaldi gets started with the --disable-smooth-scrolling paremeter. However, since the vivaldi://flags/#smooth-scrolling flag is not available on Mac, the corresponding command line switch will not have any effect.

@nito What I am talking about is not smooth scrolling of the preferences. I have noticed the existence now. When I install Vivaldi, I recommend installing the application to macOS by Vivaldi. I think that it is an add-on attached to it.
