Touchpad scrolling is finicky in IntelliJ (JetBrains) terminal #5236
Description
Description
Inside IntelliJ (or I suppose any other JetBrains IDE), when I scroll via touchpad to the end, it often bounces back and doesn't let me scroll fully. It seems like the TUI is buffering some additional scroll-down events, but once it reaches the end, it reverts the remaining steps to scroll-up events
I'm not sure what is happening, as it happens even mid-scroll too
Notice that in the video, I'm not scrolling up, only down
If I use a mouse, then it's totally fine
Also, if I open any terminal outside of the IntelliJ terminal, the scrolling works fine with either a touchpad or a mouse
OpenCode version
1.0.134
Steps to reproduce
- Install IntelliJ 2025.2.5
- Open up a terminal using Reworked 2025 engine
- Type
opencodein terminal - Write a prompt or a session that is at least scrollable
- Try to scroll to the bottom with a touchpad

This issue might be a duplicate of existing issues. Please check:
These issues all report interaction problems (scrolling, typing, rendering) in JetBrains IDE terminals. While they may be related to a broader issue with JetBrains terminal compatibility, feel free to ignore if your specific touchpad scrolling bouncing issue is distinct from these.

Not sure what happened, but after updating to IntelliJ 2025.3 today, everything is fixed
Even the weird artifacts on the welcome screen are gone now 🥳
