Edge scrolls three times as many lines per mouse wheel turn as it should.

I configured my mouse wheel to scroll 12 lines each turn. This works fine everywhere, except in Edge (and any other UWP app).

 

I made a short GIF to demonstrate this. In the GIF you can see I set my mouse wheel scroll to 12 lines. Then I open up Firefox (left) and Edge Beta (right). I turn the mouse wheel down exactly once on Firefox and once on Edge Beta. Firefox correctly scrolls from line 1 to line 12. Edge Beta scrolls from line 1 to line 32!

    That is an interesting observation.  I personally haven't noticed this, though it may have to do with browser scale settings.

      v-gapartYou haven't? I have yet to find a machine where I couldn't replicate this.

       

      I reproduced this issue on my personal computer (Insider build 18990), VMs on my personal computer (1903), my work computer (1809) and test VMs on my work computer (various Versions). I got this issue since I joined the Edge insider.

       

      It's not a scaling issue either. I don't use scaling. It also isn't a DPI issue, my scaling is always at 100%.

       

      Have you tried reproducing this with the same mouse wheel settings that I used, between Firefox and Edge Beta? Or Internet Explorer (not Edge) and Edge Beta?

    Same for me here.

    Edge 126.0.2592.x on Ubuntu 24.04 scrolls several times whenever I make a single-tick wheel scroll.

    However, the latest Edge on MS-Windows doesn't like this. Only the Edge on Ubuntu does multiple-scrolls.

    When I tested with Chrome on the Ubuntu, Chrome exactly scrolls once a time.
