[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

I am aware of this, as mentioned above. I agree we need someone on non-X11
PGTK to test this, otherwise this just falls outside of scope. My previous
post was simply to confirm that the problem on X11 + PGTK is also present
on emacs-29, which isn't surprising considering pixel-scroll.el has barely
changed since then.

Cheers,
Patrick
