How can I 'reset' the inertial scrolling in Chrome? Chrome 17 on Lion has inertial scrolling like Safari 5 does. However, sometimes it reaches a point where the top/bottom edges are not bouncy anymore. This happens on a user profile in Chrome without any installed extensions.
The inertial scrolling is still there, but without the bouncy edges. The latter can be restored by restarting the computer. Just restarting Chrome does not fix it.

Is it possible to restore the bouncy scrolling in Chrome without restarting the computer?


I've issued at bug report at code.google.com.
Issue 120188The inertial scrolling is not bouncy at the top/bottom edges after some use

I've made two screen recordings:

Scrolling OK
Scrolling BROKEN
Are you referring to top and bottom bouncy or left and right bouncy?

If left and right, it's because Chrome uses two-finger scrolling for back and forward before allowing bouncy. (I.e., if you can go back to a previous page but not forward, you can bounce on the right side but not the left. If you can't go back or forward, you can bounce on both sides. If you can go back and forward, you can't bounce on either side.) If you have two-finger back and forward gestures off (as I do), you still can't bounce laterally (which is very annoying, as I like to idly bounce the webpages as I read them).
