Computer scrolling by itself

For reasons only Microsoft knows, Windows sometimes misses to send the initialization sequence on Bluetooth connections, so smooth scrolling isn't working.

Bluetooth initialization workaroundsįor technical reasons, Windows itself must enable 'Smooth scrolling' when the computer starts or wakes-up from sleep. Note: Standard Windows text components can't do smooth scrolling, that's why it's still scrolling by line, for example Notepad. This works great in all web browsers and most applications.

It sends lots of very small scroll amounts, about 100 times more than a mouse wheel, that's why scrolling is smooth and pixel precise. The Magic Utilities use hi-dpi scrolling to achieve precise scrolling, this technique is well documented by Microsoft since Windows Vista. That's why scrolling with a normal mouse wheel is usually not smooth but jumps by line(s). Windows mouse scrolling approach is to scroll per text line, not per pixel.
