Fun fact :
- when "smooth scrolling" is enabled, scrolling is good, but not perfect to my taste (I feel like acceleration curve is too straight / not linear enough)
- when "smooth scrolling" is disabled, scrolling is now PERFECT : I guess Opera (at last) uses MacOSX implementation of scrolling.
Oh, and btw, I'm not saying MacOSX scrolling is perfect. It's just better to have the same scrolling everywhere on the system.
Anyway, thanks for hearing us

Scrolling streaks. Once the first page is loaded, scrolling down to the following pages sometimes results in streaking in side panels (which may contain animated) icons of the page depending on the site. Doesn't matter whether I use the mouse scroll or the side scroll bar on the right side of the screen or the page down keyboard button. Sometimes the pages clear after I immediately reload.
Using Opera 11.6. I am using the latest nvidia driver so I don't think this is the problem. System is W7 64 bit. However, my other two pc's have Radeon and Intel drivers respectively and they do not exhibit this problem. This is strange. Why is that?
I prefer Opera to be my default on all my PC's but this scrolling problem is the only reason I keep going back to Firefox on my main PC.

Smooth scrolling option is disabled by default on Mac because we use a different implementation than Opera on other platforms. The option is also hidden, so you should not easily have turned it on.

That has not been maintained in a long time. Uses very old and now mostly unsupported APIs.
Neither Apple (Java) nor Adobe (Flash) maintains their plug-ins for Mac OS 10.5 anymore. Which makes it hard to maintain when the APIs used in newer versions change to support hardware acceleration and other fancy buzz words.
So if you make a browser that doesn't work with any 10.5 plugin, why does the browser start up happily and pretend to work with it anyway? Make the browser 10.6+ only then, so I know I don't have to expect it to work.

Because Opera works as well on Mac OS X 10.5 as it works on Mac OS X 10.6. The issue lies with plug-ins and that also some handpicked collection of them, not every plug-in. Plus, many users can just use Flash 10.3 with Opera on OS X 10.5.
Windows 7 SP1 x86 edition and Windows XP Service Pack 3.

Opera 11.6 scrolling is still very choppy. The back and forward gestures only work %10 of the time, too.
New scrolling is great and is a huge step forward for Opera on MacOS I think.
However... sometimes the start of the scrolling after not scrolling for a while starts with a jump. Like the scrolling engine has to wake up from same kind of stand by.
Does anyone can confirm this issue and if not, any suggestions what I can do to track down the reason for this?
Thanks.
