Scroll Issues

Hi, I am a newbie and just installed zorin on my xps 13 2in1.
I noticed that I have a line or lag when I am scrolling in the upper third of my screen.

@Aravisian was so kind to help me with this issue when playing video but I haven't fixed it yet.

Here is what I am running for drivers:
hdky@hdky-XPS-13-7390-2-in-1:~$ sudo lshw -C video
[sudo] password for hdky:

hdky@hdky-XPS-13-7390-2-in-1:~$

I cant even tell if it is a video issue since they work fine but occasionally have the same line in the screen.

Apart from that I love zorin so far :slight_smile:

add-on:

I notice the clock on the bottom right having a last digit cut in half. Many of these little glitches make me rethink If I should install windows again or is there a way to reset the zorin install?
Headphone jack is crackling too.

Thank you, I followed the first steps and still have the same issue. Now I am on askubuntu and after typing this cmd: ```
sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel

How can I upgrade this. Could this be the problem?
sudo apt upgrade

I did that and restarted, but the issue persists.

Also when I look into software and updates it doesnt show any additional drivers? Is that normal?

Definitely Normal, That Software is of no Use :joy:

Wow I have no clue as to what I am doing here, thanks for your help :slight_smile:

"Enable display compositing"

Settings > Window Manager Tweaks > Compositor

If, this does not work. Try switching from Core (Gnome) to Lite (XFCE).

I dont have that command in my settings

It's in Xfce, Sorry Try the Suggestions in the Link. But, I will Suggest Using Xfce (Lite) version of Zorin. Gnome lags like this are generally fixed by reinstalling it. But, You should try lite this Time :wink:

OMG I just reset the scale from 150% to 100 and no more lag. But everything is so small I can not see things properly. Is there a way around this?

That's Easy.

Awesome that worked too. Last thing how can I make the app icons bigger in the taskbar? I am worried that if I scale it up I run into the same issue?
Thanks again so much.

Can you Provide a screenshot?
How small are the Apps?
