reduce sensitivity of chart resizing

Feature Request

In TradingView I can use the 2-finger touchpad (on Mac) to do all these things:

  • slide chart left and right (move fingers left/right)

  • resize chart gracefully (move fingers up/down)

On TradingView you can also 1-finger click-and-drag the touchpad:

  • slide chart left and right (click-n-drag left/right)

But in FTO the adjustment is too sensitive. The behavior of the 2-finger touchpad does this on FTO:

  • resize chart bars super fast, usually NOT what you want (move fingers up/down or even left/right)

In FTO the way to navigate the chart seems to be:

  • 1-finger click-and-drag

The issue with the 2-finger resizing of chart bars is out of control. If you accidentally do this 2-finger operation, it’s very difficult to get back to a normal chart view.

Can you please consider modeling the graceful keypresses that TradingView has, or at least provide a flag to disable the hyper bar sizing?

Thank you

    I’ve just noticed also a bug - if you’ve resized accidentally with the 2-finger touchpad movement, the “Resize Chart Scale to Default” button stops working. The only way to get back to a normal view is to fight with the 2-finger touchpad again.

      I made a video to demonstrate. The resizing actually looks tame here, but it’s really easy to accidentally use 2-fingers (since this is what I use in TradingView) so I would prefer if the behavior were more similar to TradingView. Thanks!
