See attached video.

From looking at the video frame by frame, it looks like there's one frame where the page doesn't scroll, and then the next frame where it scrolls 2x as far. Qualitatively, it feels pretty uncomfortable to me.

This is happening on a (very very) recent macOS Monterey with ToT WebKit.
Comment 2 Myles C. Maxfield 2022-01-14 05:52:27 PST
This doesn't happen in AppKit-based apps on the same system. It makes WebKit feel comparatively worse.
Comment 3 Myles C. Maxfield 2022-01-14 05:53:06 PST
Doesn't happen in Chrome.
