Found a bug when trying out the new materials.

When using the bar at the side of the screen, scrolling is normal.

When using two finger scrolling on my touchpad, the model pans off the screen as I scroll through the materials.

I’m using a MacBook Air M1

Edit:

I closed the app and restarted and the issue seems to have gone away… 🤔

This is awesome!!! It works pretty intuitively, just reactivate a sketch or feature to edit the value. This and assemblies are going to make this my primary used application.

Can’t wait for the plywood edge to be available. I work with birch plywood, so I would be very happy with that!
