Scrolling is too slow everywhere in Bridge 2025

Today I updated Bridge to 2025. I was using 2022 because of the newly introduced features were too annoying.

I am very-very sad to experience this SLOOOOOW scrolling speed in EVERY list. This must be some bad taste or lack of understanding among the devs... I tried these:
- Folders
- Images
- Filters
- Preferences -> File type associations
- Preferences -> Metadata

It seems that in every list one scrolling (a half wheel) scrolls around 2 lines of text which is infuriating. Yet the scrollbars are thin, grabbing with the mouse is another challenge. All these contribute to render these new versions of Bridge counterproductive. Instead of focusing on their work, users are annoyed by these problems which are working well in every other software.
Dear devs, there are some bad default settings in your scrollbar component. This bad setting propagates everywhere, in every list. Just make scrolling 3x faster. by default Please, look at browsers, Windows Explorer, or any other image viewer software and see how should the scrolling work.

There is a setting in Windows for the scroll speed, that thing also should be taken into account.

    The only way to scroll at a reasonable speed is to grab the scrollbar thumb and drag it to navigate through the list. This was an issue a few releases ago and they fixed it pretty quickly. Hopefully they'll do the same this time!
