Description

DrRacket 8.3 release, Windows 11 Pro 21H2

I'm working on a few tabs in DrRacket, with several pages of code in each. Once in a while, while scrolling using the touchpad, the gliding stops working. It'll scroll only by however much I moved my fingers, but does not keep gliding as usual. Sometimes the gliding comes back if I run the program, close it and get back to DrRacket. Scroll gliding in all other apps is unaffected.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the intermittent touchpad-coasting failure in DrRacket on Windows 11 while scrolling across several editor tabs, including after running and closing a program. Review related issues 246, 233, and 474 for existing observations; done means coasting continues reliably in the editor while other applications remain unaffected.
