Sometimes Reverse Vertical doesn't work when I wake up the Mac.

Question

Sometimes Reverse Vertical doesn't work when I wake up the Mac.

toFrankie opened this issue 2 years ago · comments

First, my System Preferences - Trackpad - Scroll & Zoom had Scroll Direction: Natural checked.

When I use Scroll Reverser with Enable Scroll Reverser, Reverse Vertical and Reverse Mouse checked, it works fine for the most part.

But sometimes, when I wake up the Mac, Reverse Vertical doesn't work. The chances of this happening are very small. Restarting Scroll Reverser solved it.

Maybe this is a bug.

macOS 12.5 (Intel), Scroll Reverser v1.8.2 (10505)

Yeah, same problem. Some more details:

I have enabled start at login, show in menu bar and reverse mouse but not reverse trackpad.
In System Preferences I have "Scroll Direction: Natural" enabled
I have a Mac M1
The first time I boot up my mac, Scroll Reverse loads but my mouse scroll is not reversed.
I go into Scroll Reverse and uncheck "Reverse Mouse" and now it works as expected (and is actually reversed from Natural)
Next time after the Mac sleeps and then wakes up, its backwards again (so...now works as I would have expected). I have to re-check "Reverse Mouse" in Scroll Reverser and then all is well.

To say another way: Seems that Scroll Reverser has it backwards on the first boot before the first sleep. Checked = Not Reversed, Unchecked = Reversed.

For me this happens when I have an external display connected and unplug everything (i.e. take the MacBook with me somewhere else), then put the MacBook to sleep, and wake it up again. I have to disable Scroll Reverser to make it work as expected. So it's the sleep that causes it. I can reproduce this every time.

MacBook Pro (14-inch, 2021), Monterey (12.6.2).

I've migrated to using the alternative LinearMouse (repo), which doesn't seem to have this issue. That's at least an option for users until this is fixed.

But since this is basically the only functionality of LinearMouse that I'm using, I think I'd rather use Scroll Reverser.
