Laptop touchpad scrolling does not work anywhere in the application.
I tried the solutions given in https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IJPL-43631/Editor-scrolling-regression but no difference.
I also uploaded the logs to ai and the logs show i was running PyCharm 2026.2.3, build 262.10968.92 on Windows. I did not see a touchpad/scroll exception or a failure initializing the mouse input system in the logs whatsoever.
I updated my app like a week back, then i downloaded 2025, 2024, 2026.1 2026.3 all versions and installed them all with all settings as default and not take from my personal settings it never ever worked
I did as the workaround 1 suggested; first turn on smooth scrolling then turn animated off. I have tried all ways it does not work. the scroll does not work inside the pycharm application, not in settings page nor in terminal nor in editor nowhere. just outside that app it works perfeclty fine. i dont use a mouse so obv i cant live without scrolling.
This issue came abruptly on a new day when i started my work, i am not sure if i did an update the day before, but i surely did not change any settings nor plugins. I delete all %LOCALAPPDATA%\JetBrains related folders from scratch then reinstalled but still same issue.
