Drag scrolling (on macOS laptop with a retina display) is too fast

[dr2chase]

There may be a way to adjust this, but I could not find it.

What I want is to scroll with drag gestures on my trackpad; this "works" but instead of scrolling a few lines, unless I am very careful with my drag motion, the contents of the window fly past too quickly.

I wonder if this is an interaction with the magnification/zoom for a retina display.

In vendor/github.com/aarzilli/nucular/gio.go there's a line that says mw.ctx.Input.Mouse.ScrollDelta++ (and --). I imagine the event that executes that gets generated many many times with the drag motion, for some reason. The zoom factor doesn't matter.

I am not sure how to connect this to preferences or to automatically figure out if this would be a good idea, but this change helped with trackpad drag scrolling and seemed not to hurt anything else:

Assuming the normalization that gio does is correct 6a21078 should be the right way to do it, is it too slow?

[dr2chase]

That is not too slow -- it is better, but not slow enough. When I combined that with my step /=4 hack above, perhaps it is too slow, but only perhaps, not definitely.
