Thanks for reporting this issue! Unfortunately, it's hard for us to understand what issue you're seeing. Please help us out by providing a screen recording showing exactly what isn't working as expected. While we can work with most standard formats, .gif files are preferred as they are displayed inline on GitHub. You may find https://gifcap.dev helpful as a browser-based gif recording tool.

If the issue depends on keyboard input, you can help us by enabling screencast mode for the recording (Developer: Toggle Screencast Mode in the command palette).

Happy coding!

Robo (@deepak1556) explain to me how you expect me to provide screenshot or something when this is about scrolling? Maybe please try to understand the issue first before just randomly slapping bot

I believe #146403 (comment) covers it all since the issue lacks context. If you are seeing a difference in scrolling compared to the previous stable version, please share a screen recording comparing the differences.

Here is a very unscientific comparison:

Version 1.65

1.65.mp4

Version 1.66

1.66.mp4

Can you follow the steps below for both 1.66 and 1.65 and attach the generated profile,

• Run Developer: Toggle Developer Tools from the command palette
• Go the Performance tab
• Click the record button or Cmd+E
• Perform the scrolling
• Stop the recording

For now, you could set the "editor.mouseWheelScrollSensitivity" to (or below) 0.5 to slow down the scrolling speed.
Also:
workbench.list.mouseWheelScrollSensitivity
terminal.integrated.mouseWheelScrollSensitivity

+1, noticing this, too.

For now, you could set the "editor.mouseWheelScrollSensitivity" to (or below) 0.5 to slow down the scrolling speed.
Also:
workbench.list.mouseWheelScrollSensitivity
terminal.integrated.mouseWheelScrollSensitivity

This option works, but it doesn't feel smooth.

Especially on 120Hz MacBook, after reduce the mouseWheelScrollSensitivity, the frame rate of the scrolling screen is significantly reduced. 🤨

Hope that VS Code can fix this issue instead of letting users manually change this sensitivity option.
