Interesting. I have never had an issue with using the scroll-wheel in previous Edge. That is on several systems with a different mouse on each. However, each mouse is Logitech with the hyper-scroll function. Whether the scroll is free-wheeling or has the indented scroll turned on.
Other than the feeling of lag you mention, are there other issues?

Darrell Shannon I think it's just the way smooth scrolling is desgined that makes it difficult for me to use it. In non smooth scrolling for example, the page stops scrolling as soon as you stop scrolling on the scroll wheel, but with smooth scrolling the scrolling continues on for about a quarter to half a second.

- Darrell ShannonApr 09, 2019Brass ContributorStrange. I don't see continued (delay on stopping) scrolling as a result of the browser's smooth scrolling. However, given my choice of mouse I do see continued scrolling as a result of the scroll wheel configuration. If I turn on hyper-scroll, the the wheel has a sense of inertia. Great moving long distances on a webpage, or in a Word/Excel document. Turn it off and the scroll wheel has a detent feel that snaps up/down by the number of lines set. In either configuration, In either mode, I never get the perception that page scrolling continues at a pace that is lagging behind the wheel or continues on after it stops.
