Scrolling in file list with touchpad, x64 version 8.01

[Eddie1506]

I had similar issues with a Synaptics touchpad. Scrolling worked just fine in some applications but unreliably in others - and most of those were running with elevated privileges. However Synaptics' driver SynTPEnh.exe runs by default with only normal privileges. Once I changed that, scrolling worked everywhere.
Note: not all elevated applications had these issues and it probably won't help the non-elevated ones

I'm not really sure that this applies to my case since I have UAC disabled, so all my programs run with elevated priviledges.

So are you running TC with higher user rights as umbra suspected?

Yes, but so is SynTPEnh.exe.

Hello,
Same problem for the X64 version.
Solution? For me this solved:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Synaptics\SynTPEnh]
"UseScrollCursor"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Synaptics\SynTPEnh]
"UseScrollCursor"=dword:00000000

Source:

Code: Select all

I can not insert the source due to spam.
Search google with the string "synaptics notepad + +"

You probably mean this thread:

Unfortunately all they describe is the workaround, they also have no idea how to make Notepad++ work with the touchpad "out of the box". Other programs like Vmware or the Steam client seem to have the same troubles. It's very strange because TC uses a Windows Listbox control, which should take care of the scrolling itself.

Hello!
It is that.
Unfortunately I am not a programmer but the registry change has solved the scroll.

For all having these issues - make sure you are using the latest Synaptics drivers (16.3 currently). Scrolling in elevated applications works without any hacks and even Metro apps react to scrolling (some of them ignored it before). Well, at least it helped here. So if you are using old versions, it's worth a try.

Scratch that
It seems that it's actually the new version that causes those issues with TC. With version 15.2, I can't scroll in some Metro apps and for elevated apps I needed to force the driver to run as admin. And while version 16.3 fixed those issues, it broke scrolling in TC and those .reg fixes are not working for me. That's just great.
