Auto scrolling on Mac

[lsigler]

For lack of a better term, 'Auto Scrolling' — the feature that lets your finger on the Magic Mouse scroll within tool fields should be turned off when a Magic Mouse is being used. With a scroll wheel or other physical object for scrolling on a windows mouse it works fine, but with the Mac mouse, it is so sensitive it is useless for this and just causes problems when moving over these fields with the pointer by inadvertently changing the selections as the pointer passes over if there is any slight finger movement.

This is not a Publisher issue, but an OS configuration adjustment:

I am aware, but thanks for the reply, unfortunately going into System Prefs to turn scrolling off each time you want to run Publisher isn't a productive solution. The other controls in prefs don't change the issue of unintentionally modifying a setting like leading or point size, they just slow it down. The various panels in Publisher already have both up/down arrows and pop-ups for changing things like point size, IMHO we don't need the auto scrolling—better to handle it in the application where it can be left turned off if it is a problem.

I thought turning off the Auto Scrolling stopped layers automatically expanding to show you every individual shape on the layers?
