Lag when scrolling with Trackpad on Dell XPS 13 #14716

NiklasRosenstein · 2016-10-30T13:32:43Z

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)

NiklasRosenstein · 2016-10-30T13:43:04Z

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).

CoenraadS · 2016-10-30T16:28:18Z

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?

jasonboninger · 2016-10-31T03:57:29Z

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.

alexdima · 2016-10-31T08:55:30Z

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

johncrim · 2017-02-18T21:28:32Z

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

shan-du · 2017-03-06T23:04:52Z

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.

xv · 2017-03-25T14:36:26Z

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

txbrown · 2017-03-29T21:29:49Z

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

ghost · 2017-04-01T07:16:58Z

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

tohnperfect · 2017-04-03T00:46:03Z

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

rongcuid · 2017-04-05T22:08:12Z

Also have this issue on XPS 13 9343, Windows 10 x64.

davidstoneham · 2017-04-11T01:00:53Z

Experiencing this on ASUS Zenbook UX430 Windows 10 x64

davidstoneham · 2017-04-11T01:04:28Z

Staring vscode with the flag "--disable-gpu" fixes the issue for me

stozk · 2017-04-11T17:56:05Z

How do you set that flag as a default, for example when opening folders from the context menu in the explorer?

davidstoneham · 2017-04-11T21:26:23Z

Not sure if that is possible. Only works if you open VSCode with the target set, then open the project. This is only seems to be a workaround for the time being.

NickBrooks · 2017-04-18T13:18:22Z

Also experiencing this issue! 😢

coccyx · 2017-04-27T02:52:31Z

Adding another me-too on a Dell XPS 13" 9365. Confirmed that maximizing and unmaximizing also resolves the issue. Plenty fine workaround for me.

hazzlewis · 2017-05-09T16:28:06Z

Very laggy touchpad scrolling on my XPS 15 9550 too. However the suggestion above to resize the window worked a treat. Still not perfect, but it's reduced the delay/lag/stutteriness considerably.

Thanks jasonboninger 😄

abowloflrf · 2017-05-14T09:57:51Z

Still have this problem on my DELL XPS 9360 , the VScode version is 1.121.
Have a very terrible experience scrolling with my touchpad.
Hope to fix the issue soon.
thanks

hazzlewis · 2017-05-14T10:46:56Z

Jason Lei, try unmaximizising then maximising the window again.

mlewand · 2017-05-17T20:29:44Z

I tried adding the --disable-gpu flag, however it causes for me unbearable flashing while scrolling, so no go for me. 😿 I also can confirm poor performance while scrolling on XPS 9550.

eikaramba · 2017-05-20T21:36:23Z

dell precision 5510 here, with VSC 1.12.2. Same problem, unmaximiziing and maximizing windows actually helped! ;)

Hello2Jason · 2017-05-25T07:04:11Z

Same on my XPS 15 9550, hope to fix this issue soon!

davidwudv · 2017-05-27T03:00:33Z

Same problem

a-heryani · 2017-05-29T01:24:14Z

I have the same problem on my Dell XPS 9560. I have found a strange workaround

Right click on taskbar and select taskbar settings
Change taskbar orientation to the opposite of whatever it is at the moment, ie, If Bottom then set to Top or vice versa. If Left then Right etc
Change the taskbar back to the original orientation or leave it as it is, doesn't matter.
Smooth scrolling again

I have to do this every time I start VS Code but it works.

yveslange · 2017-05-29T12:51:28Z

Disabling the minimap fixed the problem on my SP4

dreadsoul · 2017-10-06T11:25:18Z

I am also experiencing the SAME ISSUE (I have Acer Swift 3)
Fullscreen and win resizing works for me as well. Does anybody working on this at all??? (sry for asking again it's driving me nuts )

ottawabasementsale · 2017-10-06T21:40:31Z

Just as a side note. The resizing trick sort of works on my XPS. I say sort of because it is an improvement, however, it is still not nearly as smooth/fluid feeling as it is in Elementary on the same PC. Also, using MacOS on my ancient Core 2 Duo Macbook is also beautifully smooth like it is in Elementary (to the point where I cannot use vscode in Windows on my XPS because I know how good it can be and how much it is falling short).

Having this issue as well on XPS 9360. To me it seems to be happening only when running on battery. Did you guys experience that issue when plugged as well?

Mohamed3on · 2017-10-08T10:23:01Z

@Schwammerl yep.

LyubomirVetskov · 2017-10-10T21:36:14Z

I am having this issue with Lenovo Yoga 720 as well. Resizing does fix the problem though.

MarcusAdriano · 2017-10-11T19:22:29Z

I am having this issue with Dell Inspiron 5558 as well. Resizing does fix the problem though.

lzgrzebski · 2017-10-13T06:49:20Z

same for my new dell xps 15 inch :<

DjavanRoa · 2017-10-15T20:33:59Z

same here Dell XPS15 9560, resizing works

just-Bri · 2017-10-15T23:03:13Z

Haven't had this problem until this morning.
Zenbook UX330UA with Windows 10

If I downsize the window and maximize, or run in full screen, it works fine. But I usually split chrome and vs code side by side.

zdandoh · 2017-10-16T03:36:53Z

Also having this problem on my dell XPS 15 9550. Resizing fixes it.

MajorBreakfast · 2017-10-16T09:05:31Z

I'm experiencing very noticeable scroll lag on my Surface Book. The scrolling is slow to start, very janky and with a lot of dropped frames. Resizing seems to fix it. (VSCode version 1.17.1)

aayandre · 2017-10-16T17:51:20Z

Version: 1.17.1
Acer Predator Helios 300

Same scroll lag here.
Resizing fix the problem too.
I tried too change the smooth settings before, but it doesn't work.
Very annoying if you haven't a mouse.

wbercx · 2017-10-18T11:00:06Z

Surface Pro 3 here, resizing fixes it for me too.

abelbarbosa · 2017-10-18T11:41:44Z

Same issue on Acer Spin 5. Resizing window is a valid workaround.

bradleybauer · 2017-10-19T14:31:15Z

Gigabyte Aero 14.
QHD screen.
Windows 10.
Works fine after toggling fullscreen.

aayandre · 2017-10-19T14:52:32Z

Acer Predator Helios 300
Windows 10 last avaliable build(not insider)
VS Code 1.17.2v

They fixed this annoying thing.

Thanks Microsoft, keep the good work.

rohilshah95 · 2017-10-19T16:48:03Z

@aayandre Feature build 1709?

aayandre · 2017-10-19T18:08:03Z

@rohilshah95 Yes

coffenbacher · 2017-10-20T16:11:15Z

@aayandre what makes you think it's fixed? I'm on SP4 / W10 Pro 1703 / VSCode 1.17.2 and I'm still seeing the issue. I'll update my Windows build, but was this a Windows issue and not VSCode? I've never seen it on another app.

aayandre · 2017-10-21T00:22:32Z

@coffenbacher I'm wrong. It isn't fixed.
But I restarted VSCode when I tried it. Sorry for the wrong comment.
I don't know what could make it work.

oaeide · 2017-10-24T20:58:33Z

Getting real tired of having to toggle to fullscreen to "fix" this...

tluanga34 · 2017-10-25T08:52:52Z

And here we are at 2017 and the issue still persists. It doesn't play well with Windows Precision touch driver.

ayoubsousali · 2017-10-29T14:26:51Z

the issue is still here, why ? :/

tohnperfect · 2017-10-30T10:20:05Z

There might be a good news soon hopefully, see #13612

vmsantos · 2017-10-31T04:09:41Z

Just downloaded vscode on Windows 10 x64 on my Dell Inspiron 7567 and noticed this issue.

iKlsR · 2017-11-06T07:41:23Z

Dell XPS 15, same issue here on latest stable... 1 year later since I visited this thread. Also just noticed, hiding the menubar "frees" it up instead of having to resize the window.

johnpyp · 2017-11-10T04:51:23Z

Same issue on Zenbook UX330UA.

Fixed the same way as the other Zenbook guy above (resizing window and re-fullscreening it).

softwarenerd · 2017-11-14T05:57:48Z

The issue appears to be in Chrome. I believe I found this out randomly by seeing the exact same issue in the Developer Tools windows of my Electron app. Changing the size of the Developer Tools window allows it to scroll normally.

Dawnut · 2017-11-14T15:55:55Z

Dell XPS 15 9560, same issue, resizing fixes it
