Going to need some more detail here please. What is "way too sensitive"? Compared to a desktop? Not sure how they would differ, could it be a laptop touchpad/mouse issue?

[3C0D]

How can I say that, for example, the sensitivity is normal here, on this page. If I want to make a small movement, it works fine. However, when using Flow Launcher, like when I'm browsing the list of plugins, it goes super fast (on a touchpad, HP). Maybe enabling smooth scrolling could help reduce this issue if it's not already turned on.

I didn't think each app uses its own mouse scroll logic/setting - I thought it was a system setting. Certainly on my desktop and laptop the scroll speed in Flow is the same as any other app or window. Will let a core dev comment more specifically for Flow.

I think mouse scroll speed is fine but touchpad is actually scrolling a lot faster when scrolling though the plugin settings.

I got here because I searched for Flow Launcher scrolling issues. The issue is that the step size is huge when scrolling in the launcher or the settings. By the way, I'm using a mouse on Windows 11, not a trackpad.

In case anyone else gets here after a search, like I did, the culprit for me was SmoothScroll. Disabling SmoothScroll for Flow Launcher makes scrolling return to normal. I'm not sure whether this is a SmoothScroll or Flow Launcher issue, but in my limited use of SmoothScroll on Windows, this is the only app that has misbehaved.

Same issue with trackpad on all pages, but it works fine with mouse.

Same issue.
Scrolling is fine with mouse, but scrolling with trackpad is way too fast in launcher or settings page.
This is only the case for flow launcher, in other programs scrolling with touchpad works as intended.

Same issue here, scrolling is fine in all other apps but FlowLauncher where even the smallest movement I can make on the track pad scrolls more than a page. I don't have SmoothScroll installed, nor to my knowledge any other app that might interfere with scrolling.
