Evernote's lack of smooth scrolling has really annoyed me and it seems that one notch of scrolling down on my mouse wheel acts like 3 notches. This "multiplying" behavior seems to occur in Evernote only. The bigger problem in my opinion is actually Window's lack of smooth scrolling within the OS itself! Windows it seems does not have smooth scrolling when it comes to using a wheel mouse and the apps that do bring it in using their own APIs from what I can tell. I'm running Windows 8.1 on a clean system by the way... nothing affecting my operating system's behavior. For example, Firefox scrolls smoothly. Microsoft Word scrolls smoothly. But, Chrome does not scroll smoothly. A previous version of Chrome offered a configuration flag to allow for smooth scrolling, but they removed it sometime in early 2014 (ugh): https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/chrome/bIok0zc8xBo Of course, there are extensions to alleviate this such as the following (which I personally refuse to install due to technical reasons related to web development and certain edge-case conflicts I hit given what I do): https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/chromium-wheel-smooth-scr/khpcanbeojalbkpgpmjpdkjnkfcgfkhb?hl=en Logitech offers its SetPoint software, however I refuse to install this due to my effort to reduce bloat and run a clean system. So, what is a solution that you can use for Evernote? I found a nice little program called KatMouse: http://ehiti.de/katmouse/ Simply put, it will allow you to choose how many lines your mousewheel scrolls down on per application, not on a system-wide level! This means you can have Evernote specifically scroll "1 line" per mousewheel notch, and 3 lines for all other programs. Now, this won't fix the smoothness of the scroll, but when each mousewheel notch equates to 1 line being moved down at a time, it is a lot less jarring and upsetting on your eyes. It's very aggravating when that happens and has pissed me off for 2 years straight. KatMouse also has a sweet feature whereby you can scroll a window that is not in focus.
