<p>As <a href="https://github.com/codebrainz" class="user-mention">@codebrainz</a> said the scrolling is done by the Scintilla editing widget we use.  Possibly try the Scite editor which is the reference platform for Scintilla and see if the problem exists there too.</p>
<p>One thought is that IIRC GTK on X11 aggregated mouse moves and scrolls, but maybe that isn't working on Wayland, so Scintilla is responding to every scroll event individually.</p>
<p>Also I thought Scintilla had a smooth scrolling setting, but maybe thats only on its OSX port since I can't see it just now.</p>
