Re: Jumpy canvas on other platforms?

 

Hi Jon,

Yes, I meant the zoom extents.

When you open the file it auto-zooms to fit.  Therefore you have no scrollbars.  But panning with the trackpad (or I imagine middle mouse button) causes it to show the scroll bar which “jumps” the schematic by the width and height of the scrollbars.  With the trackpad at least sometimes it jumps right back and the scroll bars go away again (but that might just be hysteresis in the trackpad motion detection).

Cheers,
Jeff.
