The editor widget is not touchpad/gesture aware ...

umh, why not?

Because its not written to understand gestures.

You said when you use two finger swipe, but the editor widget knows nothing about two finger swipes, it just knows about mouse scroll wheels, so something is translating your gesture into scroll wheel messages. How it determines the number of scroll wheel movements it assigns to how many millimetres of two finger movement is determined by whatever is doing the translation. There may be a setting in Windows that controls it.

when the side bar and message window work fine with touchpad (read point 3 in description above),

Because they are standard GTK widgets, and GTK is to some extent gesture aware, though how well the windows port works I don't know.

then why NOT editor??

As I said above, its not written to be gesture aware!!

AFAICT its not on gesture aware on any platform, Osx, Windows native, or GTK.
