Description Jean-François Fortin Tam 2017-04-30 21:21:33 UTC
I'm filing this here because I'm not sure if it really is a webkit performance issue or if it's actually an input events management issue... but if you use a touchpad that has smooth pixel-perfect scrolling, on some websites like planet gnome it will work flawlessly but on other websites like http://fortintam.com/ it will be noticeably non-smooth. Surprisingly, Firefox works fine on it.

Thanks for taking the time to report this.
This issue is most likely a bug in WebKit. Please report the bug to https://bugs.webkit.org/ including a link to this bug report and noting the version of WebKitGTK+ that you have installed. When reporting the WebKit bug, be sure to include the prefix '[GTK]' in the bug summary and select the 'WebKit Gtk' component.
