runaway PI arrows

Hi
I have submitted a bug report https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=23356 concerning an anomaly I have hit with LC on my Mac.
Basically, I have found that adjusting values in the Property Inspector by using the up/down arrows can sometimes take on a life of its own.
I included a couple of videos in the bug report to demonstrate the issue.
Unfortunately, Panos has been unable to replicate it.
I was wondering if anyone else had come across this.
My setup. iMac 2015, Big Sur 11.6.1, LC 9.6.4

I have definitely experienced this, it occurs if keeping the arrows depressed for a length of time. Im now always super careful to do short clicks instead of keeping the arrows depressed for bigger changes.

I hqve not held the arrow key down (at least i think I didn’t) I just kept clicking for a bit.
It is quite possible that in my clicking I held the button down exceeding a threshold.
I will add this to the bug report in case this allows Panos to replicate.
Thanks Stam

Oh I see you already have.
The script editor thing is something I experience too.
It has to do with a system setting.
If you turn off “inertia” for scrolling the problem goes away.
Unfortunately I found I have so gotten used to it outside of LC I turned it back on and remember to drag the scroll bar thingy to scroll the script editor.
