Mineinjava commented 3 years ago

I am using v1.8 on macOS Big Sur

the scroll reverser icon is greyed out in the status bar. when I try to enable Scroll Reverser, the window shakes once and the checkbox becomes unchecked

Hi there, thanks for the great report with GIF. This is due to a bug in macOS which is happens. I have some steps for you which ought to resolve it: 1) Quit Scroll Reverser. 2) Ensure Scroll Reverser is located in your Applications folder and not in any other location. 3) Go to System Preferences → Security & Privacy → Privacy → Accessibility. 4) Use the "–" button to remove Scroll Reverser from the list, then click the "+" to add it back. 6) Now start Scroll Reverser and it ought to work this time.

Use the "–" button to remove Scroll Reverser from the list, then click the "+" to add it back.

For me, it was important to do this step for both of Accessibility and Input Monitoring.
