Research direction

Start by reproducing the scrollbar-click behavior in Warp on macOS 12.4, then trace the handling of scrollbar clicks and the Option key. Done means Warp respects the macOS System Preferences scroll setting and allows Option-click to reverse the behavior.

Describe the bug

As of v0.2022.07.11.09.11.stable_00, Warp says that it "supports jumping to where you click". However, it enforces this, and there is no way to disable the behavior.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open Warp
  2. Click on the scroll bar
Expected behaviour

Scroll behavior is a system-wide macOS feature. It can be set in System Preferences > General, and holding the option key when clicking in the scroll bar should always reverse the behavior, regardless of what the user has chosen.

Well-behaved Mac apps should not override it without recourse.
