Scroll reverser preferences randomly change.

[lynndixon]

I am on Sierra, 10.12.1. Using Scroll Reverser 1.7.4.
I usually keep the "reverse trackpad" and "reverse tablet" settings unchecked, as I don't want my trackpad reversed.

But seemingly randomly. I will notice my trackpad scrolling will start reversing, without me doing anything. Literally scrolling fine on webpages, then click something, then scrolling will be reversed.

When I go to the Scroll Reverser settings, I notice that my preferences for "Reverse Trackpad" and "reverse tablet" have been selected.
Oddly enough, if I click either one of them to un-check them, the other will automatically go unchecked.

This happens several times per day.

Is it possible you have an older copy of Scroll Reverser running at the same time? Two copies running at once could explain this (both trying to use the same preference file).

Another user reports this. Ref: Conversation #5351 (private link for my reference - contents copied below)

I am a user of Reverse Scrolling. Indeed I appreciate the application that sorts out the problem of the scrolling direction between my mouse and the trackpad, it offered a lot of help. It is a great application.

However, it has been a while since I updated my mac to macOS Sierra (v10.12.1 for now), the scroll direction for my trackpad would constantly change itself while I am using my computer, it unchecks "Reverse trackpad" itself suddenly. I am currently using v1.7.4 of Reverse Scrolling now and does not seem to have any update, i.e. it is the latest version I could have for now.

I am not sure what the problem was, but it is kind of an irritating situation. I hoped there is a way to get around this. Thank you for looking into the problem.

Sorry I made a mistake, it checks "Reverse trackpad" itself instead of uncheck. Thank you for following up.

I have verified I am not running two instances or an older copy alongside a newer one. I completely removed all occurrences of Scroll Reverser from my Mac, rebooted, and installed only the newest version, but I am still seeing these odd problems.

Thank you for your help eliminating this hypothesis.

As an general position on this issue - I have had a look over the code and I cannot see any reason for this to be happening. It does not happen in my own testing. If anyone reading is able to suggest the cause, or a fix, I'm all ears.

Thanks for this awesome app. I wanted to report the same issue. I have the exact issue as mentioned above on Sierra, 10.12.2, using Scroll Reverser 1.7.4. This just happened with me when I opened Chrome browser and suddenly the scroll direction reversed(Mac just woke up from sleep before doing this). This has happened many times in the past(I guess it was immediately after waking up from sleep). I used to go to preferences and uncheck again when that happens. Is there someway to make the preferences read-only or something so that it cant automatically revert it? Or did anyone find any work around?

I would like to appreciate you for this great app first. I wanted to report the same problem on my 15 inch Mid 2012 MacBook Pro, which is running macOS Sierra. Any log files I can provide to help you debug?

If I set my preferences, close the app, and open it, the preferences are as I set them. If I set my preferences, restart my computer, or logout, then login, my preferences are set to the defaults.

I would like Reverse Trackpad and Reverse Tablet unchecked, and Reverse Mouse checked, so that mouses work the way they're supposed to.

[SystemDisc]

My apologies. It is not nearly this consistent. After writing this post, to make sure I wasn't lying, I logged out and back in. My preferences were as I set them. I then restarted, and my preferences were still as I set them. So, I guess I'm in the same boat as everyone else. At some point, I do not know what triggers it, my preferences get reset to default and the next time the app is opened, the preferences are in their default states.

I haven't got any scientific measurements but I feel like this happens every 12-24hrs.

I wonder if there's a scheduled job running that affects the settings?

[ashour]

+1 on this. Getting it at regular internals. I'm on Scroll Reverser 1.7.4, macOS Sierra 10.12.3.

Settings reset to something like a default every so often (every day or two)?

[kingo55]

Yes, it started happening much more regularly for me all of a sudden too. Possibly following some Mac OS update not too long ago.
