Scrolling issues with Windows 8.1 Consumer Preview version

 

Initial testing with Windows 8.1 Consumer Preview version reveals a scrolling issue with IE11 
and Windows 8 apps, as well as on the Windows Start screen itself: 

 

Moderate to fast scrolling can become unresponsive until you stop scrolling. Then, the 
page will jump a long distance, usually to either the beginning or the end. 

We're working with Microsoft to resolve this issue. 

As a workaround, you can modify your scrolling settings in IE11. Here's how: 

1.

 

Launch IE11. 

2.

 

Open Internet Options and select the 

Advanced

 tab. 

3.

 

In the 

Browsing

 section, clear "Use smooth scrolling".
