Dear Reader,

I couldn't pan N/S or E/W in a Google spreadsheet. It worked fine in Safari. The Google spreadsheet is active. I can edit cells. It is a very small spreadsheet, 44 rows and 5 columns with no formulae.

I was using Beta Version 27. I installed Version 26 and the N/S now works fine. E/W doesn't work. If I try panning E/W a few times it might suddenly jerk E/W a few times and then stop.

I cleared cache and cookies. No difference.

I restarted in safe mode. No difference.

As noted, I reinstalled 26 and that fixed the N/S panning but not the E/W panning.

Any ideas or suggestions?

John

Dear Reader,

Fixed - On my Mac under Systems Preferences>TrackPad>More Gestures, I had "Swipe between pages" which permits "Scroll left or right with two fingers" turned on. When I turned if off, I could pan E/W in Google spreadsheets.

Dear Reader,

I will mention I more interesting symptom. In Google Spreadsheet, if I switched mode to "See Revision History" I could pan N/S and E/W with no problem. This worked before any troubleshooting steps or reinstalling version 27.
