Super - I will go out and get a standard PC logitech mouse.
According to the reports on the 5k iMac, you have 14.7 million pixels
with a resolution of 5,120x2,880 - very impressive. Bandwidth to the
screen is beyond Thunderbolt 2, so no wonder you have some slowness
moving pixels.
There may be an adjustment for resolution - so you can trade off speed
vs pixels.
Thanks much. I was beginning to believe there were no real KiCad Mac users.

Hi everyone,
I am using a 5k IMac with a standard PC logitech mouse. I have the nightly
build 5547 installed.
I do not experience any problems with zooming in GAL. (Besides the already
reported bug with the F2 button) What I do experience is the lack of rats nest.
Sometimes when zooming there is a remainder of a short rats nest wire but that
is basically it.
Also as a side note the only mode usable on the 5k iMac is the OpenGL GAL mode.
Everything else is way too slow to be usable (probably too many pixels to
render :D) I had to start Kicad in a low resolution mode so that default mode
is somewhat usable. (Reported to Nick and he was so kind that he added this to
the FAQ)
I hope this is useful information.
Cheers,
Piotr

I just now downloaded your OS X nightly build (both debug and regular) on my
wife’s Mac mini. She does not like the trackpad and has an Apple Mouse (latest
model) -> more or less a standard Mac (it does have a Cinema 30 from a previous
Mac).
When I create a board, add some chips and wires, I have difficulty in
controlling the circuit on the screen. Whenever I touch the top of the mouse
(one finger or two), the circuit layout zooms wildly. It doesn’t matter whether
I stroke the mouse up and down or left-right, the circuit zooms big (bigger
than the screen) or tiny. No panning action from the mouse. This is with both
the eeschema and pcbnew views.
Perhaps I have my mouse preferences set incorrectly, but other applications
work just fine. With LibreOffice or Preview, I can easily pan (one finger) in
all directions without causing any zoom.
This is close to the same action I see on my Mac Laptop.
If this is the normal operation of KiCad on the Mac, I can’t see how it can be
a release version.

Have you or any other OS X user tried GAL with a common PC USB mouse? Is
the problem associated with this particular mouse model or is it the
same for any other pointing device under OS X?
