It doesn't make sense only because you put it in terms of some completely abstract and made-up notion of "scrolling the window". Put another way:
One finger drags the cursor up and down
Two finger drags the underlying page up and down
Four finger drags the underlying space left, right, up or down
Perfectly consistent, no? I won't argue that forcing people to relearn scrolling is an uphill battle. But I'm a Dvorak typist.
- seabee 16y agoIt's one way to look at it. I'm used to the behavior of the scroll wheel, and also the scroll keys - moving the cursor down will necessarily move the underlying page up to keep it visible, so that equates to 'scrolling down' in my mind. This was completely logical until smartphones came along. Obviously Apple are finding a lot of their users believe (or soon will believe) otherwise.
