No response

Steps to reproduce

On a recent build (later than Sept 2024's Beta KB5043166):

  1. Begin scrolling with a trackpad, so there is inertia.
  2. Press Ctrl.

The window zooms uncontrollably.

Expected Behavior

It's undocumented, but we made a change to the trackpad handler to cancel inertia upon keypresses (internal link).

Scrolling should stop & no zooming should occur.

Actual Behavior

However, Terminal seems to be handling scrolling differently and still seems to maintain this inertia.


BTW, this would have mitigated #5708 and similar.
