Scrolling on the canvas is intermittent and often broken while scrolling in the side columns always works.

Current Behavior

https://www.tella.tv/video/brians-video-0vs8

Expected Behavior

easy scrolling on a page at the very least

Ideally it mimics actual page scrolling behaviour with a warning but that's likely too much to figure out and time is better spent on other features.

Steps to Reproduce

page with lots of elements

try scrolling

Reproducible from Blank

• The steps to reproduce above start from a blank project.

In this case, the Canvas in the UI Builder is designed to mimic the scroll behavior of the page as it will appear when deployed. Unlike the Widget Tree or the Properties Panel, which have their own independent scrolling, the Canvas will only scroll if your layout includes a scrollable widget like a Column with scrolling or a ListView.

If your page doesn’t scroll on the Canvas, that’s actually helpful—it signals that the scroll behavior isn’t set up properly. This way, you can catch and fix it before deployment, where it also wouldn't scroll.

So in this case, it’s worth checking why the page isn’t scrolling as expected—it might be due to a missing scrollable widget.

Hello!

Wow, it seems the issue might be related to the mouse! I’ve been testing your project and, so far, I’ve been able to scroll without any issues.

Just to confirm — you’re using the FlutterFlow Mac Desktop App, correct?
Have you also tried checking if the issue occurs when using FlutterFlow on the Web version? It would help us narrow down whether the problem is specific to the desktop app or something else.

Thanks for getting back to me

Good idea to check!

So here's the findings...

Scrolling works perfectly fine in Chrome.

Issues are limited to desktop app.

HOWEVER...

...On a whim I checked my M1 mac laptop trackpad and it was a bit glitchy also.

Same thing tho with the side panels working no problem and being super smooth. Just the main work area.

Not as bad as the magic mouse, but it would get stuck on a regular basis and would require a couple of pulls sometimes to get it going.

Does that help?
