Annoying Scrolling in InDesign

New Here ,
Apr 22, 2023 Apr 22, 2023

Hi,

While I am scrolling in InDesign, the mouse or trackpad scrolls right or left, too. Because of the issue, the document is not fixed on the screen and moves right or left while scrolling. 

I can't find how to stop this annoying scrolling on my mouse or trackpad settings. Is there any way to fix the document on the screen instead of seeing many dark grey backgrounds around my document?

Thanks,

The grey background around your document is called pasteboard. You can change it's size by setting the relevant options in the preferencex. See the screenshot below

P.S.:- I tried the scrolling and it seems to be working fine for me, but I have experienced what you are alluding to.
