Netbeans 12.2: horizontal scroll not working


When I'm opening any type of file in Netbeans and I'm trying to horizontally scroll with two fingers from the touchpad, it is not working.

I am using a MacBook (13 inch, Mid 2010) with Debian 10 ("Buster"), GNOME 3.30.2 as desktop and Apache Netbeans 12.2.

Maybe you know a solution? Thank you.


Solution

  • Many macOS users often don't restart their IDE for days. Try quitting NetBeans (make sure it doesn't show up on the force quit menu as well; if it does, then just force quit it from there as well). After this, restart your computer and make sure to uncheck the box that asks whether you'd like the OS to re-open your open windows. This should fix the horizontal scrolling issue.

    Alternatively, try holding shift and scrolling vertically. This would work best with a mouse with a scroll wheel.
