1) Are you talking about reading in Zotero PDF/EPUB/Snapshot reader?
2) Which Zotero version?
3) Does the issue exist on Firefox browser (Zotero is based on it)?

HI team,

Is it possible to enable auto scrolling on Zotero reader? (On Zotero mac app)?

martynas_b · March 8, 2024

@shriyam547 Does it work for you in Firefox on macOS?

shriyam547 · March 8, 2024

Hi @martynas_b thank you for your response. I don’t use Firefox or Zotero online. Was asking for mac app.

martynas_b · March 8, 2024

I forgot to mention that Zotero is based on Firefox therefore they share similar behavior and sometimes we just debug on Firefox to determine if this is Zotero or Firefox problem.

Oh sorry. I’m not sure if the function (of auto scrolling) even exists on Zotero? Wanted to ask if it does? And how to activate it?

Thank you for your attention to this issue, sorry for answering delay.
1）Yes.
2) Windows Zotero 7-beta (64 bit) .
3)No, the auto-scroll of mouse middle-clicking function normally on browser. The issue exist on Windows software.

The function doesn't exist on Zotero. But the mouse wheel-clicking can auto-scroll.

7.0 Beta: Middle click doesn't work!
I have the same problem, I can't scroll using the mouse wheel,

Zotero version: 7.0.0-beta.66+d0299a1ac (64-bit)

system version: Windows 10

All plugins are disabled

I confirmed the same behavior: middle-click scrolling does not work in Zotero 7 (7.0.0-beta.68+c31a40c74 (64-bit)).

However, it does work in earlier Zotero (6.0.35)

My OS is Ubuntu 22.04.

Can confirm this behaviour.

7.0.0-beta.81+721f54fe4 (64-bit)
Windows 11

Behaviour works as expected in Firefox.

I just upgraded to version 7.0 (64-bit) on Ubuntu, and I have the same problem. It was not there on 6.X.
