Question

[Hardware]-Mouse scroll direction not working properly in XD on MacOS.

I've noticed that Adobe XD mouse scroll direction is unchangeable or it doesn't follow the macOS user preferences for mouse scrolling.

 

At first, it might not seem a big deal but if the macOS System Preferences > Mouse > Point and click is set to "Scroll direction natural" when moving around from other Adobe Apps, e.g. Illustrator, Photoshop, etc., the behavior in XD creates a bit of stress, especially if the Scroll direction natural is checked, meaning that scroll > up zooms in, scroll down > zooms out.

 

A nice feature to either have it in preferences or assume the user system preferences.

First impression after launching the program: I cant use zoom like I do it in other apps. Poor experience. 
Pls, check Sketch app settings as a reference. They have the checkbox for "Invert scroll direction". It can be a good idea to do the same

Hi there,

 

Thank you for reaching out and using Adobe XD. I am unable to reproduce the same at my end may be i am missing something. Could you please share the exact same steps to reproduce the same? Would you mind sharing the operating system build and XD version you are using? It would be really helpful if you can share a short video of the same so that we can understand better.

 

We will try our best to help.

 

Thanks,

Harshika
