Description Fernando M. Muniz 2025-09-06 12:54:25 UTC 
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have the pointer over an item on Dolphin, then scroll until the pointer is over another item.
2. Have the pointer over an app on "Application Menu > All apps", then scroll in constant speed.

OBSERVED RESULT
The cursor doesn't update by scrolling as fast as it does when moving the pointer.

EXPECTED RESULT
Scrolling should highlight items under the pointer instantaneously, just like it is by moving the pointer.

Scrolling highlights the items under the pointer normally on the Clipboard, System Settings, and scrollable desktop.
