I suppose keyboard input relates to the UI, though I was intending it to mean mostly visual interface. Any chance the Steam forums have a solution for that?

The funny part is that technically it does use Safari (to an extent). Steam makes use of the WebKit rendering engine for displaying websites, the same that Safari uses. I think they even transitioned to WebKit on Windows too!

But sadly the rendering engine itself doesn’t control how scrolling works, that’s all in the UI of the app making use of the WebKitView. And since the Steam devs opted to completely custom develop their app from the ground up, they’re not making use of standard Cocoa UI components that would naturally have smooth scrolling built in.

It’s really quite silly. You’d think they could at least use the built in WebKitView (which, I think, would give them smooth scrolling by default) but they choose not to.

Seriously?

On a PC it seems to use IE for everything. On a Mac why does it not just use Safari embedded in the app for all windows, then all the gestures would work?

Besides this, I think Steam for Mac seems as good as on PC.
Portal, Prtal 2 and Amnesia seem to play just as well, and to be honest, I’ve had more problems with Steam on my PC than on my Mac.

Be nice if it was fixed soon as the scrolling just becomes confusing.

!m!

I’m lucky enough to have not received many crashes since it first was released for Mac, but it goes to show that they don’t have that focus on details like other Mac app developers.

Steam crashes, then says it’s done. Then when I try to play, it goes back to download, then crashes again. Repeat.
