I feel the user-happiness with this feature is to get through
fine-tuning of the scrolling parameters, and in particular the
acceleration curve.
I wish we had some control on this curve, through a setting dialog.
After some time of random fiddling, I'm sure one monkey would come out
of the crowd, with a pleasing result, or recipe.

Yes, we also had some ideas similar to that. We'll try to experiment with
it.

The only reason I mention this is because I initially thought it worked

this way & I was impressed (by this feature of smooth-scrolling, not by
smooth-scrolling in general).

What if a smooth-scroll only scrolled at most one page worth of lines? If

lines 50-100 are on the screen now, and I smooth-scroll to lines 550-600, I
don't really need to see lines 100-550 go by quickly - it may be enough to
scroll as if 100-550 didn't even exist. This keeps the visual cue that I'm
moving down (or up) in the file, but seems slightly less visually
overwhelming.

This "feature" really bugs me. How can I disable it?

I found the answer in another thread. Here was the response:

It's not in the UI yet.You could edit the file editor.xml in your IDEA settings directory: usually something like: \.IntelliJIdea\config\options\editor.xml Change the value of to false. ]]>
