Minor touchpad scrolling issue (Acer Nitro 5)

SlowJamsForever

Hi!

I often use pinch zooming on my AN5, and generally default to scrolling with the space bar. However just today I've started noticing that after pressing space when zoomed in via pinch zooming, the page I'm on will sometimes just scroll either slightly or continuously by itself.

It seems too slow to be caused by the space bar and only appears to occur when the pinch zooming is also being used, but doesn't seem to be affected by whether my hands are still on the touchpad. I'm not aware of any settings that have changed on either my web browser or laptop, but have noticed this occurring across multiple sites including Google searches and Wikipedia.

Done a bit of digging and seen a couple issues here and there but none that seem to match this exactly, so if anyone's aware of what might fix it or if there's a setting I've accidentally changed, please let me know!

My touchpad scrolling with Aspire 5 is done with two fingers, you can change the scrolling direction in Windows setting Gestures. Spacebar scrolling only works in my Edge browser, not related to Pinch-Zoom and touchpad. I don't know how that works with a Nitro 5.
