Hi Orson,

I just tried with some ThinkPad mouse I have from my work laptop on my MacBook.
Panning seems to be fine with that mouse with and without the timer (panning with the usual shift/ctrl-scrollwheel).
Especially, there are no hangs with the timer.


Regards,
Bernhard

Cocoa events have a hasPreciseScrollingDeltas method that will provide this information.  It is used in wxWidgets window.mm, for instance, when translating NSEvents to wx events.
