Scrolling in Lightroom using a trackpad has severe input lag

When using lightroom, scrolling up and down using a trackpad has severe input lag which causes the scrolling inputs to be deleyed by 1s or so. This makes scrolling is very unpredictable, meaning quickly navigating controls on the edit page, scrolling through the library and navigating the thumnail strip becomes extremely tedious and slow. The issue seems to be related to scroll inertia when using the track pad and while I am unable to test it with a mouse, dragging the scroll bar is very responsive.  

I am using an M1 Pro MacBook Pro (32GB Ram) and lightroom runs quickly despite this issue so I know it is not performance related. This also appears to be a relatively new issue as I have not had problems with this in the past on this device.
