Can't scroll in Pycharm
I just installed Pycharm Community Edition but I cannot scroll in the editor using my trackpad. I cannot find a setting anywhere to change the behaviour. Any ideas?

Did you install any custom plugins?
What is your OS?
No I installed it without any plugins. OS is Windows 10.
I thought it might be installed wrongly so I re-installed it but I get the same problem.
Perhaps the problem is the same as in https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-181923

Thanks for your suggestions Sergey Karpov.
I finally found the problem. I was running PyCharm and Jupyter Notebook at the same time. I don't know how this affects PyCharm exactly but if I close Jupyter Notebook I can scroll in PyCharm without problems. If I open Jupyter again the problem comes back.
In PyCharm, along the top of the jupyter notebook panes, far to the right, there is a "Trusted" checkbox and six toggle buttons. The first two toggle buttons control whether the "source" pane forces the "preview" pane to scroll along with it and/or the "preview" pane forces the "source" pane to scroll with it. Having both checked is the default and causes both "source" and "preview" panes to stay in sync. You could try toggling these to experiment and see how the behavior changes.
